Good news for new MacBook Air and Mac mini owners who are serious about audio. While yes, both machines retain the 3.5mm headphone jack, unlike some other devices Apple has recently announced, the new Macs now better handle audio when played through the jack or through the built-in speakers. In a, Rogue Amoeba explains that the 3.5mm audio jack and the built-in speakers on the new MacBook Air and Mac mini are now two separate devices in macOS. Unlike before, this means that audio can be sent to both the built-in speakers and headphones at the same time. For example, with an app such as Audio Hijack, users can output audio from iTunes to headphones, while sending Spotify through the internal speakers. A more practical scenario, however, is being able to send macOS’ system audio such as notification sounds through the built-in speakers, while having music playing through your headphones. To split things up, head for the “Sound Effects” tab in the Sound System Preference.
There, you can configure the “Play sound effects through” setting to use the device speakers set the Sound Effects. Of course, Audio Hijack, as well as the company’s other product, Loopback, are fully compatible with the change. To split things up, head for the “Sound Effects” tab in the Sound System Preference.
There, you can configure the “Play sound effects through” setting to use the device speakers set the Sound Effects. Despite the new change, auto-switching between headphones and the built-in speakers work as it normally would, routing to the appropriate device when headphones are plugged in or taken out. Lastly, Amoeba discovered that this behavior also works with the 2017 iMac Pro as well as the 2018 MacBook Pros. Read more about the changes.
For all five of us who still prefer managing our own news-reading experience through a dedicated RSS reader application, there’s good news out today: One of the best news readers on the market, has finally returned to the Mac. The Mac application had been unavailable for nearly a year, following the shutdown of Google Reader, because it was built on top of the search giant’s infrastructure instead of its own.
Catching up with your favorite websites via RSS may have been too geeky a task for a mainstream user base, and therefore not a Google-scale business, leading the company to shut down its once-beloved RSS news-reader service, Google Reader, as you may recall. But RSS is not quite dead yet, even if Google has exited the building. In its wake, smaller companies picked up where Google left off, including Digg (with its much-hyped ), as well as another betaworks-operated service called ‘, which is focused more on female users interested in fashion, beauty, interior design, and food. But it’s companies like and that really stepped up to save the day with building RSS applications. Because when Google shut down Reader, it didn’t just kill a product, it killed an entire ecosystem. With the return of (aka “Reeder 2”), the company now offers a desktop news reader that works with multiple services, including Feedbin, Feedly, Feed Wrangler, Fever and Readability.
And if you don’t want to rely on a third party this time around, Reeder supports local RSS, too. If you go that route, however, you wouldn’t be able to sync your progress across platforms – and Reeder for iOS is a pretty great news-reading client. (I use it with Feedly, and it’s my go-to RSS reader these days.) Like its iOS counterpart, Reeder 2 for Mac offers a huge host of sharing services, including Facebook, Twitter, Messages, Mail, Safari (Reading List), Quote.fm, Buffer, Readability, Instapaper, Pocket, Evernote, MarsEdit, Pinboard, Delicious and App.net.
And it offers the same simple interface as the mobile client, allowing you to easily switch between unread, starred and all items, toggle items’ read/unread status, favorite posts, organize feeds into groups, and more. In addition, the Mac app offers a handful of themes to choose from, ranging from light to dark, support for gestures via the Mac’s Magic Trackpad or Magic Mouse, and customizable shortcuts. For those who still enjoy a solid, well-built, and design-oriented news-reader experience, dropping $9.99 on Reeder 2 is going to be a no-brainer.
