I used to spend a lot of time there, answering people's questions and
reading a bunch of other threads. It really helped me learn a lot
about how my Mac works.

Nowadays I only go there when trying to troubleshoot something, and if I
see someone asking something I know the answer to, I still answer.

I use these newgroups, Apple's official forums, and Reddit's. :)
