I've been using my Mac mini for work for months now, after my work Windows laptop broke some time during lockdown #1 last year. Even after being sent a replacement I carried on using the Mac with the Microsoft Remote Desktop app, as it was a nicer experience and I had my music and everything else on hand at the same time.
Did some general housekeeping and updates yesterday, which included the remote desktop app. Went to log in to my work's Workspace today and it wouldn't connect. See online that loads of people have had the same issue with the latest version.
Minor panic at the thought of having to use the laptop, then I thought of Time Machine – which I haven't had to use in more than seven years of Mac use. I was a bit annoyed at having to restore the Mac to a point yesterday before I'd sorted loads of things. But that was because I didn't realise you could just restore things app by app, if you want to.
With a couple of clicks it was done and I'm working fine again. To paraphrase: it just worked. It's not often a computer will impress me, especially not a seven-plus-year-old one. But impressed I am.
