You will now receive an alert from your MacBook if any liquid is found in the connector

Apple has included a new function in the macOS Sonoma 14.1 update that helps shield your computer from water. This feature works similarly to a hidden agent in your computer that detects liquid contact, such as juice or water.

Called “liquiddetectiond,” this covert agent functions covertly in the background, much like a detective. It monitors every USB-C port on your Mac to ensure that it remains dry and secure. It alerts Apple if it discovers any liquid in those ports at any point.

I know you’re thinking, “Why do I need this?” In any case, if your PC becomes wet, issues may arise. It may become damaged or cease to function. However, you no longer need to be concerned about it thanks to this amazing liquid detecting feature. With a superhero defending your computer from rust, it’s like having someone on your side.

The iPad and iPhone models also have this liquid detecting feature. A daemon, a superhero akin to theirs, alerts you when there’s moisture in the connector. It’s a practical approach to safeguard your electronics.

It’s crucial to note that you should not use this liquid detecting capability directly. It functions more like a covert operative for Apple, monitoring activities behind the scenes. Apple may, however, implement a feature whereby you receive alerts on your Mac and iPhone in the future.

One thing to keep in mind is that liquid damage is not covered under Apple’s standard warranty. Therefore, it’s still a good idea to avoid getting your liquids near your Mac.

Along with several other neat additions, Apple has included the macOS Sonoma 14.1 update. Just like on your iPhone, you can now select your preferred songs, albums, and playlists within the Music app.

Additionally, you may go System Preferences to verify the status of your AppleCare+ for your Mac and AirPods. Ensuring the health of your electronics is equivalent to having a physician for them.
