  • William Smith: “Outlook for Mac 16.38 can let users try New Outlook. MacAdmins can manage this preference: Domain: com.microsoft.Outlook Key: EnableNewOutlook Values (integer): 0 = Switch hidden (default) 1 = Switch displayed, off 2 = Switch displayed, on 3 = Enabled, switch hidden”
  • mikeymikey: “If you’re not a full Screen aficionado – you may have seen that hovering over the zoom control gives you options you don’t care for – but did you know those options change to non-full screen windowed choices if you hold down Option?”
  • tlark: “The thing that kills me the most about TCC/PPPC is there is no real clear documentation on how to properly implement it. You stream logs, run things and play a game of whack-a-mole. I am all about increased security posture, but come on Apple, help us configure it.”
