Just a little under two weeks since Apple began selling its new iMac Pro, users have started posting Geekbench scores. Spoiler alert: it’s a powerful machine!

As we all know, Apple released its most powerful (and arguably most beautiful) desktop computer yet, the iMac Pro, earlier this month. The machine can be outfitted with an up to 18 core Xeon processor — yes, really — making it capable of some serious heavy lifting in the data processing department. In addition, the iMac Pro boasts Turbo Boost speeds up to 4.5GHz, new AVX-512 vector instructions and a new cache architecture, giving it the capacity to handle all that data incredibly quickly (making it the perfect machine for creators). Now, I hear you — ”but that information can all be gleaned from glancing at the iMac Pro’s overview on the Apple website!” Okay, okay, fair. However, recently dropped Geekbench scores confirm that the iMac Pro pretty much lives up to the hype surrounding it.

Are you new to the HD TV universe? The first thing you should do is turn off Motion Smoothing!

At this point in the world of TV sets, you’ve probably seen, or even experienced in your own home, the soap opera effect that seems to be the standard of HD TVs. It’s most commonly called motion smoothing, but can also be called motion interpolation, auto motion plus, trumotion, … the list goes on.

If you do a quick Twitter search for motion smoothing, you’ll see that there are a lot of people trying to secretly turn off the feature on their relatives’ TVs or are simply calling for TV makers to disable it by default.

By now, many of you already know how to turn off this feature, but if you’re like me, someone that only just upgraded to an HD TV this past holiday season, you might be wondering how to get rid of that unnatural effect and why it’s even an option for your TV at all.

Even more confusing, if you’re like me, your brand new smart TV doesn’t have a simple button to turn on or…

If you’re having problems updating macOS High Sierra because of ”legacy FileVault users,” the problem might actually be Sonos.

Since the beta period of macOS High Sierra, some people have been reporting trouble installing the latest version of the operating system on their machines due to the existence of ”legacy FileVault users”. This error seems to occur for some even if they’ve never turned on FileVault. As it turns out, the Sonos app for Mac might be the culprit.

The Sonos app is great for controlling the multi-room speaker system of the same name, but apparently, it’s decidedly not so great when it comes time to update macOS High Sierra. The good news is that it’s easy to remove, but you do have to remove it completely.

Here’s how you get rid of the Sonos Mac app so that you can update your Mac to the latest version of High Sierra.

How to uninstall the Sonos app from your Mac

You’ll need to use the official uninstall tool that comes with the Sonos app to properly remove it …
