One of the most under utilized features of the Mac is something called Time Machine. Time Machine was introduced in the early to mid 2000's as a way for users to recover lost or damaged data at any time. It works in the background without any interactions from the user once the initial setup is complete.
Once setup, the feature first takes a full snapshot of a user's hard drive. Then, it will take additional snap shots of data each time a user uses a particular file. When a user wants to retrieve a file on a particular date and time, he or she would use the Time Machine app to "go back in time" to find a version of the file that they wish to retrieve.
In order for Time Machine to work properly, it needs an external hard drive connected via Firewire or USB. The disk should be equal too, or higher than the hard drive that's on your computer (for example, if you have a 1TB SSDD drive, then the external Time Machine drive should be at least 1TB or higher in size).
The setup is easy and straight forward.
Here's how:
Time Machine can save your ass, especially if you modify or delete several files during the day or night.
For the first time, iOS users will be able use their Apple Watch to unlock their iPhone when wearing a face mask. Apple today released the first developer betas of iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4, which delivers the feature to iPhone and Apple Watch.
To enable the Unlock with Apple Watch feature, open the Settings app on your iPhone, then look for the “Face ID & Passcode” setting. Once you flip this toggle, your Apple Watch will be able to authenticate your iPhone as long as the following conditions are met:
• Face ID detects a mask
• Your Apple Watch is nearby
• Your Apple Watch is on your wrist
• Your Apple Watch is unlocked
• Your Apple Watch has a passcode enabled
Another thing to keep in mind here is that if you disable the Apple Watch wrist detection feature, then you will not be able to unlock your iPhone with your Apple Watch.
Once you enable the feature, your iPhone will unlock automatically with your Apple Watch the next time you wear a face mask. When your iPhone unlocks, you’ll receive a haptic feedback notification on your Apple Watch telling you that your iPhone was unlocked by the Apple Watch.

Forbes’ sensior contributor Paul Tassi has been resisting the urge to subscribe to Apple TV+ for over a year now, as he’s “already drowning in them between Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO Max and now Disney+.” However, he finally had too many Apple TV+ shows recommended to him, so he took the plunge and liked what he saw.
