I just refreshed my feeds and the typo is still there, although maybe that’s due to some part of my FreshRSS+Reeder setup.

The abbreviation doesn’t have to be the first few letters verbatim either. For example, I use ‘du’ to launch Disk Utility and ‘ff’ for Firefox.

Like Quicksilver, Alfred, Launchbar, Butler, Raycast, and many other launchers, you can train Spotlight to always launch the same thing depending on what abbreviation you type. The next time you go to launch Chrome, type ch and then use the

Smultron is a good one that I’ve been using for over a decade alongside BBEdit. The developer offers versions for 10.10 Yosemite and newer. https://www.peterborgapps.com/smultron/

The T2 chip is Apple silicon, and marked the beginning of really locking down the OS running on a Mac (as opposed to iOS, which was always locked down that way, and Intel Macs which of course could run anything). It was the first mass marke

Yes, AdGuard works. That’s what I use, although I appreciate the other recommendations in the sibling comments above.

VNC and other Remote Desktop solutions work, I use an app called Screens to remotely manage my Macs and PC from an iPad with keyboard and mouse. Or did you mean the other way around? It would be great to have the iPhone mirroring feature on

Same here, I was confused and disappointed when I clicked the link and was presented with yet another screen recorder.

Two iPads, an iPod Touch and an iPhone of mine have been made unusable by OS updates. If Apple had made the cutoff just one OS version sooner, then they would still feel snappy to use. They’re not actually bricked, but completely unusable a

Agreed, pulling the phone out of a pocket with my thumb on the home button and having it unlocked and ready to use by the time I look at it is is ideal. Much better than having to pull it out, hold in in a way that it can see my face, then

Except that Apple didn’t make this. It’s made by the Issey Miyake brand.

Agree with the frustration at their SSD and RAM upgrade prices, but Apple doesn’t make the iPhone Pocket. It’s made by the Issey Miyake brand.

Thank you, good to know AHK is able to do part of what Keyboard Maestro can, it just requires more work and troubleshooting for every script/macro. That example script also doesn’t let you simply drag a marquee selection to choose the

I wish there was something like Keyboard Maestro for Windows or Linux. It seems like there isn’t. I’d love to be corrected, though! From what I can tell, AHK can’t do (m)any of the cool things that KM does, like “Click at Found Image”, “Set

It was a 10W. I ran many system-intensive games and only remember battery drain when using a smaller power brick, but never ran Geekbench on loop to test that.

Perhaps with some tablets, but the iPad 2 and first gen shipped with an adapter (20W?) that didn’t allow that to happen, in my experience.

Yes, similar to the slower M4 Max option. The Mac Studio with either M4 Max or M3 Ultra uses 8533 MT/s LPDDR5X. Memory bandwidth for the M4 Max is 410 GB/s with the 32-core GPU or 546 GB/s with the 40-core GPU. It’s 819 GB&#x

Looks good, nice to have the option of a dedicated HN app for watchOS instead of having to open a full-fledged reader like News Explorer. RSS on the watch is great.

They were Nvidia failures due to a manufacturing defect. My 15” 2008 Nvidia 8600-equipped MBP was repaired out of warranty (for free) for this issue. All MacBook Pros from late 2007 to 2010 used Nvidia GPUs, not AMD. Search “nvidia 8600 fai
