2. True or False: Macs currently can burn Blurays out of the box.

Explanation

Macs currently cannot burn Blurays out of the box. While Mac computers have the capability to read Bluray discs, they do not come with built-in software or hardware to burn data onto Bluray discs. To burn Blurays on a Mac, users would need to purchase external Bluray burners and third-party software specifically designed for this purpose. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

4. True or False: Items inside of a burn folder are aliases. If the original changes before you burn the folder, the burn reflects the updates and changes.

Explanation

The given correct answer is true. When items are placed inside a burn folder, they are represented as aliases or shortcuts to the original files. If any changes are made to the original files before burning the folder, these updates and changes will be reflected in the burn. Therefore, the burn folder ensures that the latest versions of the files are included in the burned disc.
