Agreed. He presents the math in a way that illustrates his point without being difficult for non-mathematicians to grasp. A lot of blogs get hung up in the math, even when it is just supporting evidence for a broader…
The "apps" that appear in the menu bar are called Menu Bar Extras. They are supposed to be an optional UI to provide quick access to functions of regular applications that are not running in the foreground. They aren't…

The old Unsuck-it page comes pretty close. I’m not a huge fan of the newer page though. https://www.unsuck-it.com/classics
I thought for a moment I was missing something here. I always just use winget for this sort of thing as well. It may kickoff a bunch of things, but it’s pretty low effort and reliable.
Check out the scheduler documentation that Apple has in the xnu repo. https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu/blob/main/doc...
The product I make deals with passwords. We’ve had several bugs over the years that came down to Unicode usernames and passwords containing unexpected characters. Solving them was simple, we just had to be sure to get…
This also reminds me of the situation with my TV antenna. I made an antenna years ago and put it in my attic. Using the old antennaweb service I aligned it with the stations we cared about and then never touched it…
Back when I had cable internet we had a bizarre problem where the service would often stop working if it was very cold and raining. It had to be that specific combo as well. - Just rain == good internet - Just cold ==…
I’m a big fan of their Raw Power app as well that predated Nitro.
I just tried to check the Xbox services status page and it never even loaded.
The more that we find out about Bell Labs the more we all realize how much of our world they built. We really could use a place like that today.
I was surprised at the Photo Booth usage as well. I would have just recorded it with the QuickTime Player as if it were an iOS device.
The most common ones are for QA testing and CI pipelines.
For a lot of people the benefits show up because they have more devices sharing that connection. Before our kids moved to school we had 5 people on our home connection. Each with multiple devices, all trying to work or…
Are most of the images on that page missing or is it just me?
Is something supposed to happen when I call a number on the phone? If the number picks up I just have silence until I hang up. Also I made the mistake of resetting the phone in an attempt to get into the admin account!
While that was a problem, the larger one was that the cars were too fast for the tires and safety equipment of the time. In a 13 month period there were three fatal accidents that were down to drivers losing control and…
Apple has several levels of audio to chose from: Lossy AAC at 256Kbit Lossless ALAC up to 24-bit/48 kHz Hi-Res Lossless ALAC up to a maximum resolution of 24-bit/192 kHz. They also have the spatial track options on a…
It just came back for me as well in Winston-Salem, NC
Anyone can use FaceTime now. Non Apple devices will just join via a browser.
Until recently, Formula One teams used Helium in their wheel guns as it spins them faster. In their push to be more environmentally friendly the sanctioning bodies realized that banning the use of pneumatic helium was…
Party balloons are normally filled with what’s known as “balloon gas”. It’s a mix of air and helium that’s not suitable for use in medical equipment.
As an American, the part of the story that is very interesting to me is that Canadian coins have enough ferrous content to be picked up by a magnet. Wouldn’t the ability for coins to become magnetized cause all sorts of…
Generally refactoring is where I find tests to be super valuable. If it’s a pure refactor then the existing tests shouldn’t break. If they start failing, then you have done something that has changed the expected…
