Hello, who tried the "Use Apple Diagnostics to test your Mac" article and it worked. Any reviews?

Playing videos on my mac is difficult as it skips and displays in pictures while I am watching, I decided to run a diagnostics on my MacBook Air 13" 2017. I'd like a review of the article on running diagnostics. Thank you

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

pkcs11 problems on macOs Ventura Hello! I am from Costa Rica and when I want to install the digital signature through the /Library/Application Support/Athena/libASEP11.dylib library, my free version of Adobe Acrobat that I use indicates an error when installing it. It says that the module "PKCS#11 cannot be loaded". I have a MacBook Pro M1 and am already a macOS Ventura user. My digital signature device is recent so I don't think that's the problem Has anyone managed to solve this? Thks! ----- ¡Hola!

Pro-motion for M1 Max Macbook Pro stuttering Hello, I own a system with M1 Max, 16 inch, 32 GPU cores, 32 Gb RAM Macbook Pro, and I have been dissatisfied with the new pro-motion technology. I am well aware that pro-motion is supposed to help with battery consumption, and has been working wonderfully in certain situations. For example, whenever I perform a mission control (would be a three-finger swipe up for the touchpad) or the new stage manager feature, there is absolutely no stuttering in rendered frames. On contrary, whenever I try to scroll down on a webpage or make the side-by-side transition between full-screened applications, I experience stuttering in motion very very frequently. This does not happen when I connect an external display (I have a 144 hz FHD display) though an HDMI cable, since it says that it is on 144 hz on constant, instead of the pro-motion refresh rates. I feel like it is definitely possible to make another refresh rate profile for the MacBook Pro's display to 120 hz at all times, instead of limiting to pro-motion, if others are experiencing frequent stuttering as well. The battery consumption would increase, how about applying the profile only when it is being charged? I have had this curiosity for a couple of months by now but didn't know where to ask, nor if I am the only one in this community. Could someone please present me with some helpful information?

macOS Ventura flickering screen I updated my Macbook Air M1 to Ventura on Monday 24 Oct. Within a few hours my screen started to flicker. I rebuild the machine using a USB drive (Create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support) After a few hours it started again. I notice this happens when I am using IntelliJ Idea Ultimate. Has anyone else encounter this issue? Perhaps when doing something that will use up a lot resources? I don't mind going back to Monterey I just hate the long process of rebuilding/setting up a machine.

Usually, it's pretty accurate and gives you a general idea, but the diagnostic equipment in Apple stores is superior.

Why are you wanting to run it?
