Not able to move app to finder or delete it either!

In my quest to make the front screen without dock & menubar, I've come at halt.

I'm not able to move it to applications folder in Finder.

Not able to delete it cause OS notification pops up "needs to be downloaded"

same notification pops up if tried uninstalling it from App cleaner.

Meanwhile Chat GPT is fully functional! 🫠

can data being written be a reason for faster b a t t e r y drain than it used to?

I've been using my MBA M4 10GPU Core. with BenQ GW2790Q monitor for 2 months now. I use the 35W charger for power supply since the monitor doesnt have a typeC PD port. use it roughly 7-8 hrs. use it on battery every 2 weeks. have it set on optimized battery on 80%. it charges to 100% occasionally and drops back to 80% (which I know is normal).

I'm also attaching the logitech and raycast disc usage since they're infamous for writing data. it seems like logitech is reading alot of data? I've recently started using the action ring with my older logi M590 mouse cause the app supports it and I find it handy.

but other than that. it seems to be some internal stuff that is writing data in GBs which I can't understand.

Now, I'm using it on battery today and noticing that it's draining fairly quicker than it used to how I priorly used before using it with monitor and plugged in the time I use and turn off when I don't even during breaks I try to turn it off (never leave it more than an hour on charge on idle, when not in use)

Benq GW2790Q doesn't sleep.

Using it with a macbook air M4 in clamshell mode. when I hit the sleep button on mac. the monitor keeps awaking and show lockscreen every few minutes.

PDP LVL 50 headsets: Beeping issue 🚨

Beeping issue even with applying a lil pressure on ear cups when laid flat on desk, when wearing or taking them off or even when swaying head a lil bit while it is worn over head. not to mention it is loud & annoying af.

the wires one the side that go inside the earcups have their outcovering damaged due to wear n tear.

this issue started 2 years ago and I just threw it inside since I wasn't bothered enough to figure out whats wrong.

No issues with sound or mic. I don't play online games. but I use mic with chatGPT and it works just fine. I know they're old but I got it as a gift along with ps4. so i want to fix it if possible.

TIA

What are these red dots in the screen?

Monitor: Benq 2790TC
Have been using it with macbook air M4 for 2 weeks now and only noticed it today.
What could be the issue? Since it's under warranty, is there a way to get it replaced?

which is best way to avoid all the issues with Options +? online vs offline

I uninstalled options + some time ago, but I've been so used to it that I'm wanting to come back to it cuz there's just no app thats provides seamless gestures.

I use an M590 that I got on a discount & sealed a year ago (don't judge me)

the reason I uninstalled is was

  1. Logi options+ to constantly needing authorization
  2. it was using decent amount of charge.
  3. I read a post that it was writing into their SSD and I panicked and uninstalled

Now that I've started using my mac plugged, battery drain shouldn't be an issue but is there a way to avoid it's other issues?

Need Suggestion! Do I still need Raycast in Tahoe 26.5 for my use case?

I updated my macOS to Tahoe 26.5 today from Sequioa. It's great I'm loving the new design and everything but I'm not familiar much with what changes has been made with spotlight specifically.

I use raycast to

  • shortcut open & close ("auto-close" feature after a few minutes, since I tend to use multiple apps and now & then forget to close some apps in between work) multiple apps and pdf files.
  • App cleaner as it's extension to uninstall 3rd party apps (if I happened to download one) with it's unnecessary files.

Can these be replaced by native features of spotlight or shortcuts, please enlighten me I'm trying to use more of native apps and features rather than use 3rd party apps which are great but even if they drain very little amount of battery they're still running constantly in background
