🤯
If you have at all been paying attention to this stream you will know that I have been wrestling with a mouse issue. My Trackpad is fine - never an issue. My Magic Mouse is fine - only one issue - in a browser - any browser - I have to swipe and swipe and swipe to scroll down a page - any page. With the trackpad - smooth as silk. Outside of a browser - no problems at all.
I have posted into bulletin boards, logged onto community, changed my user profile, asked Apple - changed every friggin' setting known to humanity - and much more besides - including for the cognoscenti - I even learned about ‘EtreCheckPro’ and installed … ** Nada.**
This morning I happened to read about someone having an unresolvable Mac issue - and so turned to ChatGPT … 🤯 - number two.
I have been a paid user of Claude and ChatGPT for a while - but sometimes I still forget that they are there … so I thought - hell - why not.
it took it 4 or 5 minutes of back and forth to make sure it was happy that I had all the right bits switched on and off - and then we did some testing on sites - and then - Terminal …. so now I knew I was going into uncharted waters.
AND - I kid you not - about another 5 minutes later including a couple of reboots - FIXED - after months of elapsed time and HOURS of actually trying to fix this very weird thing … all done in less than 10 minutes.
This was the final recommendation that turned it around.
