I think the old 4 port usb-c macbook pros were similar, two usb-c ports were better for charging and supported thunderbolt, while the other two were non-thunderbolt and not optimiz…

Maybe I’m viewing truth too narrowly, but I feel like the printing press brought us as close as we could come to a “truth era”. Authorship of text, and the friction and cost involv…

I believe it’s to integrate with iMessage, Calendar, Reminders etc.

I was just looking into this today. I want to keep my computer updated with the cli tool softwareupdate. Before I was using the flag --all to apply any update, but then tried to ch…

FWIW I have a note in my dot files that for this to take effect you need to logout and then log back in, not sure if this is (still?) the case.

I remember reading this years ago and hoped a retro programmer would create a rom patch to implement this functionality. Maybe someday.

I don’t see it; to my mind the last great Apple thin product was the 12” MacBook from 2015.

My biggest criticism with SPM is that there doesn't seem to be a way to use it with git worktree since the package cache is centralized as opposed to being at the directory/project…

It's funny, I prefer to use Safari on iOS instead of native apps because I have more control over shaping my experience (through user scripts and custom css) and Apple's focus on u…

To intentionally mix metaphors, I can't believe I'm about to knowingly kick this well worn hornets nest. It seems obvious that if Tanenbaum, or any open source project used a GP li…

It’s odd because the original Macintosh had a smaller keyboard without a numpad, however one was offered separately. It’s interesting because this “original” keypad has different p…

I don't have this app installed, but I would use the App Privacy Report in settings to inspect the App Network Activity to see what domains it connects to and how often. While not …

My understanding is that it’s a loose autobiography. I read through two thirds of it during Covid. I think it’s has an unfair reputation of being a challenging read; yes you’ll enc…

I provide a C89 source file from Vim 6 that targets Classic MacOS/68K systems. The file is large with tons of ifdefs referencing arcane APIs. I let it know that when compiled the a…

I thought the selection tool allows you to limit the area of the image that a revision will make changes to, but I tested it and I still see changes outside of the selected area wh…

He spoke to this on No Longer ery Good, episode 626 of The Accidental Tech Podcast. Time stamp ~1:32:30 It tries, but there are some things it can't perfectly preserve like the las…

Curious how well this compares to the same functionality built into Gemini.

I found Bouncer to be a good fit for me. Free, open source, and uses regex. But it doesn’t come with a block list, so you have to construct your own. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/…

I think the subtitle "A Fable" does a lot to provide cover for some of the things you bring up. My 2¢ on a few of your questions: * I saw the ability to start and stop time to repr…

I've never been a fan of the argument of how voting against your own interest is some gap in logic. To me it can mean multiple things, one could be not understanding the implicatio…

I thought it was 15% for the first million in revenue, then 30%.
