If your Mac laptop is hot on your legs, you need fan control. There are two specific instances I’ve found this happening. One on two older (beloved) 27" iMacs from 2009 & 2011 just by being on they were hotter than a toaster top. Two a corporate issued MacBook Pro (which has been so tinkered with by managed IT services that it operates more like a PC aka the famous #MacBookWhoa)

There is a solution – a free one even — Macs Fan Control
*I have zero affiliation with this recommendation, it just works.

To this day, I have two macs utilizing Macs Fan Control — the 2011 iMac 27" a 2011 iMac 27" that I dearly love and use for recording hit after hit (totally affiliated and will receive 0.00000069 per stream so let it rip!). And a company issued 2018 MacBook Pro (now turned “Macbook Whoa” from said services).

Let it be noted, I have no affiliation with whoever these wonderful Mac fan control people are.

That’s a wrap.

Have marketing questions? Need Hubspot support? Wonder why WordPress constantly breaks on updates and/or have 3rd-party security app nightmares (elementor) that keep you up at night?

Wonder why Google Search Campaigns flood your conversions with odd seemingly similar names all with Gmail accounts even while following Google Ads recommendations and they refuse a refund?

Unsure why your business .com email is doing weird things and shooting to spam after the new DMARC settings update? Or why your CRM or email service is shouting warnings about not being setup correctly?

At a loss why pages on your website that ranked in SERPs last week are no longer ranking AT ALL after the March Google search algorithm update?

I have answers and excited to share insights with you or happy to help get the fixes implemented myself.
