I bought my Mac around 2021, I think, and I have never really gotten used to it, at least not in the way I'm used to a PC.
You see, I'm not that old, but I also am. I'm 34 years old, but I'm also 75. I'm pretty tech-savvy, but only in my domain. I can do all sorts of cool automations and use advanced technology, I understand how things work, but I can't figure out Discord or TikTok.
Heck, without Z, I wouldn't even know I had a TG account.

I always had this problem with Mac, that I wouldn't get notifications. Not on Skype, not on Slack, and not even on WhatsApp, which is why people often get mad at me for not responding to messages in a timely manner.

Anyway, a few days ago I needed to update my WhatsApp because it stopped working, and it turned out that I couldn't update it because my OS was too old. I was still using macOS 12 when 15 was available. The update didn't work, so I had to call support.
The lady tried to send me a remote control request, but the requests didn't come through. At some point, she asked me if my Mac was set to "Do not Disturb", and I had no idea, so she directed me to the "moon" icon I had at the top of the screen.

It turns out I was on Do Not Disturb mode for 4 years, and that's why I never got messages on time!!!
 
At least now you have an excuse ready to go if you forget to respond to someone!
 
Happens to me all the time. Pretty good with sone technologies and oblivious to others
