It is less likely scenario for macOS to be the host than the client for Steam Link, but it does indeed happen. I usually set my MacBook Air to be the host for Steam Link to play a stream the game session over to my phone, and no doubt there are other use cases where a Mac is the Steam Link host.

How to Add Custom Text Around WordPress Comments
After the 30 days decision, the first change I wanted to make immediately to the site was letting readers know that comments will be closed after certain period. I didn’t get into details before, WordPress simply doesn’t load comments section if the post in question doesn’t have any comments and the submission is closed. In other words, there is “around the comments” control for the site admin or the site builder. Any actions would need to be hooked to the body of the contents or beginning of the footer.
How to Change Comments Closed Message on WordPress
On WordPress, the default behavior for comments section has an oddly hidden notification message. It is only shown when a post already has some comments, and the comment section must be closed for future submission. It simply reads: “Comments are closed”. It sounds obvious and communicates to the fact why the comment field is not visible, but the site moderator or designer is not given control over the text message itself — which is, again, weird.
How to Calculate Next Day of the Week on Shortcuts
It’s yet another calendar series for Shortcuts. As I have written before, as powerful the Shortcuts is, it could use some handy functions surrounding general date managements — particularly days and weeks department. It is never hard to make a subroutine if you need one, however.
How to Calculate Nth Day of the Week in Month on Shortcuts
Shortcuts app on iOS and macOS is one of the most powerful tool available to the platform. I strongly recommend anyone who owns an Apple device to give Shortcuts a try; it is equivalent of BASIC in our time. But not every functions a user would want is in the Shortcuts. Thankfully, what Shortcuts doesn’t provide can be made by a user.
How to Save Animated Images with SingleFile
As I was preparing for this piece, the title was originally ‘how to save GIFs’, only to realize that will confuse even more readers and users of SingleFile. If you have tried to save a webpage using SaveFile that contains modern animated images, likely the result would not contain the image itself.
How to Remove AirPods Max Headband
AirPods Max is likely the only Apple-made electronics that has mesh fibers instead of the usual choice of metals. Not that it doesn’t have metallic exteriors on the sides, it uses materials that needs maintenance as it tends to collect dust and other debris. The part needs to be cleaned most frequent, the ear cups, are attached magnetically and can be cleaned easily. It’s the mesh headband that makes it tedious to clean it.
How to Band-aid Fix Duolingo Stuck Mistakes Items
Duolingo, the popular language learning app, has been pushing the ads in South Korea quite rigorously, and I’m giving it a go for a year. The fact that I can jump to another language if I feel stuck at certain ‘level’ of a language to give myself a refresher (i.e. sleep on it) is definitely a new way of looking at language courses. Having said all that, Duolingo is not glitch free.
How to Band-Aid Fix Behaviour Account Sync with Wrong PSN
If you are using a single computer amongst multiple PlayStation players, (e.g. different players on family computers, regional PlayStation accounts by the same person) Behaviour has made some dubious choices on their end to make the life difficulty for most players. The website, when it is linking PSN accounts, does so automatically without asking the user’s permission to link which one.
How to Create Web Meta Messenger App on macOS
With the recent announcement all desktop Meta Messenger app for Windows and macOS will be depreciated this coming December, I had to login to my Facebook account to see how the web interface has changed since forever. To be frank, I was never a heavy Facebook user. I liked it as another option amongst myriads of other messenger apps, but not as a platform. But it did sting I had to log into a website I rarely use.
How to Rename Multiple Filenames on Windows
One of the GUI features available on macOS side is its automation. I often contribute Mac’s near-obsessive focus on user automation has to do with the early days of PC experience, experimenting with BASIC for the first time on a computer. That being said, on Mac, if you select multiple items to “rename”, Finder gives you a list of options as to how you would like to rename them: replace, add (or remove), or format. Unsurprisingly, Windows simply does not have the GUI equivalent renaming tool.
How to Generate Type-Friendly Password pt. 3
I do hope I wouldn’t need to come up with even more type-friendly password generators than this version. After making two, one for generic, one for copy-paste, versions of password generators, I am now hit with one of the weirdest policies I’ve encountered yet: there were different limits on how many digits and special characters a password can have. I don’t have a word to describe the misery I felt. At least the website in question supported up to 16 characters long password.
How to Generate Type-Friendly Password pt. 2
As I have written in the past on generating a type-friendly password with Python, it hit me like a freight truck today. One of the Korean apps have “upped” their security policy demanding now I type the password which is likely 20 or more characters, completely random, on a virtual keyboard. If you have never used one of those, it’s like a touchscreen keyboard, except all the locations are scrambled. Typing 20+ characters on those keyboard is an arduous task.
How to Stop Prompting Siri on iOS 26 Instead of Safari Tabs
The new redesigned Safari on iOS 26 minimizes the tab bar when the user is not going through the tabs themselves. It doesn’t matter what layout of the tab bar — Safari still minimizes the tab bar to the smallest possible size, much akin to the status bar on the traditional browsers.
How to Reconnect Dell U2725QE Monitor to Mac After Reboot
U2725QE does have its share of infamy amongst Thunderbolt laptop users, but none of them were particularly software related as far as I’ve heard so far. This issue, however, is entirely software. I really hope Dell would push a firmware update soon enough to address this issue. As such as it is, the purpose of this post is to share my findings as documentations and perhaps provide band-aid solution until the official fix is released.
