If you have several Apple devices and use the Safari browser, iCloud tabs is a convenient way to access web pages you’ve got open on another device. A common problem is that when you close a tab on another device it keeps showing up on other devices. It seems that when you close a tab and connectivity is lost to Apple’s iCloud servers, the closing of that tab is never registered.
On a Mac, if you’re seeing phantom tabs from your iPhone or iPad, the easiest way to remove them is to reset the iCloud tabs database:
Turn off Safari in the iCloud settings on all the devices
Go to this folder ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Safari
Delete the three files that start with CloudTabs (CloudTabs.db-wal CloudTabs.db and CloudTabs.db-shm)
Turn on Safari in the iCloud settings
This approach is working on macOS Ventura 13.5 and iOS 16 and was originally seen here.

In 1993, I started a company that was the first in the world to ship a 3rd party software product for the Apple Newton. It was available on a floppy disk, or you could order it over email and it would be sent electronically. Decades before an “App Store”

Expanding the storage for your Mac with a DIY external drive with NVME SSD isn’t simple. To get maximum speed from modern Macs with Thunderbolt ports mean getting a Thunderbolt enclosure. These are the ones that seem to play well with Macs: ACASIS model TBU405 and Orico model M234C3. Here’s a table showing which chipsets are the fastest for these enclosures: dancharblog.wordpress.com/2024/01/01/list-of-ssd-enclosure-chipsets-2022
These NVME models have the least reports of issues: Western Digital Black SN850X and SN850 and Most Western Digital drives.
The first vintage of this benchmark wine. Unearthed a case of 6 of this in a Swiss garage in 2019. Three of the bottles were gone. But 3 were OK. 2 bottles in perfect condition. 3rd one showed a little leakage around cork and a little bit of oxidation, but wine still held up. The 2 perfect bottles showed excellent tannins and structure still. Dark fruits and loads of complexity. Could go for a few more years if the cork was in better condition. 41 years old and still full of life. Quite amazing really.
