How to find your lost or stolen MacBook or Mac desktop

  • If you lose your MacBook or it gets stolen, use Find My network for better chances of recovery. Stolen desktop Macs are harder to find without power.
  • Encrypt your data with a password on Apple silicon Macs or Intel-based Macs with T2 Security chip. Use FileVault for encryption on Macs without T2 chip.
  • To locate your Mac, make a FaceTime call if online or utilize Find My app to see location, play sound, lock remotely, or enter Lost Mode.
  • If Find My is off, change important passwords and end active sessions to secure data. Inform police and insurance company about the loss.
  • For a lost but untraceable Mac, consider remote wipe as a last resort. Erase the device via Find My and remove it from iCloud account.
  • Periodically check Find My settings, location permissions, and wake for network access on your Mac for better preparedness.
  • Consider insurance options like credit card, renters, house, or airline insurance for coverage in case of theft. Backup data regularly and keep an old Mac as a backup.

Does the bird warrior of Elden Ring Nightreign have a human face beneath his beak? I'm glad you asked

  • A recent video by Souls modder/dataminer Zullie The Witch has addressed the question of whether Elden Ring Nightreign's bird-bodied Guardian conceals a human face on his feathery body.
  • Nightreign's playable characters do not use facedata due to the switch from custom characters to eight established archetypes, with facedata seemingly copied from existing data in Elden Ring.
  • No hidden human face was found on the Guardian character, according to Zullie, who also discovered that Wylder, another character, has a mysterious, featureless 'silhoutte' when uncovered.
  • The revelation prompted discussions and theories among players, with one suggesting that 'Wylder is the true John from all Fromsoft games,' adding an element of mystery to the character's appearance.
