I asked this to an AI, and it didn’t say anything intelligible, maybe I’m just not smart enough to understand AI.

    The stuff you said about opening files and window management can be adjusted in settings.

    The other stuff you mentioned, about controlling how to turn off Bluetooth and disabling Gatekeeper without the terminal, is also dependent upon a frankly lengthly and complicated settings menu. If you still use Apple in any context, you should really do some research about settings menus.

    On iPhone, knowing your settings is especially crucial. You could have the most private phone possible without a third party OS, or you could have a phone that’s basically open to hackers, and it’s almost totally dependent on how you adjust your privacy and contact settings.

      That’s incorrect. They cannot be adjusted. You should really do some research about settings menus.

        Yes, they can be adjusted, it just requires multiple steps. The reason I didn’t explain it to you is because it’s exhausting and I don’t remember off the top of my head. I have adjusted how to open files on my Apple machines in the past, as well as the other things you mentioned, you’ve got to look it up, especially since they like to occasionally change the settings menu. If I gave you a tutorial it might not be totally up to date. Facebook, Youtube and Tiktok all have settings tutorials for Apple.

              You should read comments before you reply to them:

              The Mac apps are always opening my files instead of the third-party ones I designated as default.

                No, they can’t be adjusted.

                I know you said you don’t need a tutorial right after that, but the context of you saying that was another user explaining that it can be changed but they didn’t have time to provide you tech support.

                I happened to be in a position where I could quickly get the information they weren’t able to, so I did.

                If you wanna know anything else just lmk.

                    What kinds of window management changes would you like to make? Iirc you can make some decently radical adjustments using brew but I’m not extremely knowledgeable about them because I like to keep it normal.
