Since High Sierra, Apple has introduced ‘universality’ to its set of media keys. All the absurdities aside, it means media keys are now open to work with any platform. So if you were planning to control iTunes or Spotify on the go, you may accidentally start playing a random video on a webpage instead.
VM is a must-have for most users nowadays, but unfortunately Windows is not quite VM-ready. If you are experiencing an error message suggesting VM has started on its own, this is for you.
The arrival of eGPU in Macs came with lots of surprises and tweaking. I am sure some have already read the extensive eGPU guides available on the internet, and on MTP as well. Mojave, in that sense, clarifies and opens up boarders to many users. This tip, by the way, comes at a wrong time…
I thought it would be a good time to go through what is happening with MTP rather than to keep everyone hanging. I’ve moved to a rural town couple of months ago, and quite frankly, the transition cannot be harder. I thought years from Wisconsin had me prepared for ridicules. I’ve thought wrong. I wouldn’t go into details of each incidents, —yes, not one, not two, I had been involved in multiple ‘accidents’— unless I were to write an opinion piece on the matters. Perhaps the accessibility of healthcare providers in rural area is a good subject to go on.…
What is gaming? I cannot answer that question, but I will know one when I see one. This ever-changing definition of a medium and subsequent genres it gave birth to make most critics hard to keep up with video games. Gaming, in its essence, has changed drastically from what it was 30 years ago and…
macOS and iOS come with a decent default calendar app called “Calendar”. Jokes aside, Calendar comes with an embedded travel time feature, which allows users to schedule travel time ahead. For example, if you happen to have a meeting in downtown, you can add “Meeting” as an event, and then add 30 mins as a…
DevonThink users would be quite familiar with AppleScript; it comes in handy for any organization work, except for its presence in the menu bar. With the introduction of more GUI-friendly kit, Automator, since OS X, not all users need a speed dial for AppleScript.
Nobody has “home” anymore on world wide web. We move around freely, because we are all tied around Google, not Yahoo, the yellow page of, well, internet. But oddly enough, Edge does not have accessible options to simply remove the Home button from the toolbar, despite the fact that it is doable.
Quick Announcements Weekly op-ed will now be published on Saturday UTC. Hopefully the change will better serve anyone living in the new world. And to clarify the publishing schedule, at least one article will be published weekly basis. Due to my personal circumstances, my publishing has been haptic of late. I am hoping to get back on the original time frame before the end of this week.
It’s an iTunes problem, yet again. If you are using Macs and iOS devices on your network, likely you are already taking advantage of “home sharing” feature embedded in iTunes.
WordPress comes with some quirks,as its a free, open-source platform. While WordPress as a software has come a long way since becoming one of the pioneers, its economy is no different from mobile OS. Plugins and themes almost always fall in to 4 categories: free, freemium, paid, or subscription. And unfortunately some of these paid…
I’ve written on compressing files with XZ algorithm. If you had done so already, you would’ve noticed by now that using that command line by line will cause the program to create an archive with all of its parent folders included.
If Anpanman made it in to a Marvel franchise, this is one. It’s all friendly neighborhood fights, with neighborhood bad guys and good guys, with neighborhood idiots and geniuses, running around in ever-same soap drama.
Ubuntu is not idiot-proof. You won’t get Mac-like experience in this Linux distribution. Instead, you will get Windows-like experience with an opportunity to solve one problem at a time without yelling toward Seattle.
While Mac handles vast majority of things nicely without too much asking questions, keeping network connection to a NAS drive is not one of them. If you happen to be on WiFi, and your Mac is likely to go to sleep frequently (i.e. it’s a laptop), you will see an annoying error message anytime you…
