Windows 10 finally introduced a sidebar for File Explorer. Windows tend to have quirks that comes and goes in every iteration, and Quick-Access, from the look of it, seems to have decided to stay. But this Quick access comes with a bizarre add-on; it will add –no pun intended– any items you access frequently. Not sure…
The Mad Tea Party
Inspiring yet Mad Spiels
From Tips
Install Ubuntu Updates via CLI
GUI in Ubuntu is as much as useless as unreliable. You can never be sure if you have achieved anything on the OS, unless you do it again on Terminal. Most documentations ask you to run scripts and commands on Terminals before you yell at the screen for UX. If your computer happens to be…
Compress in Tar with XZ algorithm on macOS
“It just works” just doesn’t happen with lossless compression on Mac. Most softwares are completely outdated with insufficient GUI support, and they seem to lack the sense of universality at its core. Users already have universal unarchiver, for the most part free. The real priority, which is to support as many as formats to serve…
Duskers Quicksaver
Duskers is a hacker-esque survival game, which dearly reminded me of Cargo, a Swiss sci-fi film from 2009. Now, as a survival game, Duskers is delivered with a weak spot – a saving feature. The beautiful narrative you were developing on your home computer may not be shared by JIL on another computer, closest thing you…
Known Gmail Tricks and Its Usages
Gmail comes with small cheats that other free email services are reluctant to provide. All of these tricks are meant to be used in the situation when you, the gmail user, is a recipient of an email, not vice-versa. Also these are against the standard industry practices, and as such, you should take it with…
How to Upgrade Stock Fans on AKiTiO Node
I’ve extensively talked about why it is almost necessary to upgrade the fans on Node in my review. I know some people would like to jump right ahead, so I’ll simply lay out the options you have first, and then the step-by-step, followed by the merits of its options. Do this at your own discretion.
Force Spotlight Indexing on macOS
With the release of High Sierra, I assume most Mac users had a chance to upgrade any number of drives to APFS from HFS+. Now you may have noticed it by now, but apparently High Sierra has shipped with some glitches in APFS related tools. My mdutil search has turned up “Index Enabled” for all…
FTL:Faster Than Light Quicksaver
FTL: Faster Than Light is one of those games that does not allow saves for a reason. Now, although it is a beautiful decision, –even the tips suggest dying for the sake of experience– you might wonder like myself, what would have happened if my ship had survived that encounter. It’s one of those games…
Karabiner Settings for Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard
Karabiner setup has gotten longer than I expected, so here’s a separate post dedicated for Karabiner-Elements.
Karabiner PID Failure Fix
This is not exactly a common issue, but it is an issue that was once mentioned on the GitHub, including myself. Obviously the point of this post is to address any remaining issues. When you launch Karabiner for the first time and the app crash with an error report suggesting failure in creating PID directory,…
Compress Multiple Files Separately at Once on Mac
Finding the right compression tools on Mac can be challenging. Most of them require an expensive license, which somehow has gulls to ask for annual subscription and/or upgrade. When it comes to included Archive Utility, it only gets the job half done.
How to Bloodborne: Defiled Chalice Amygdala for Noobs
If you can’t kill it with fire, kill it with bolt. This sums up the idea behind Bloodborne. That being said, if you can’t kill it with melee then choose long-ranged. For this video, I chose Simon’s Bowblade.
How to Hide Time Machine HDD from Desktop
I don’t recommend using Time Capsule for 2 reasons: price and wireless. The price tag is unjustifiable for a router, despite its praised stability. Now with the hint of Apple may be dropping the router line of its entirety, stability is not longer an accountable virtue. At any rate, it is the wireless backup drive…
PS4 Backup “Not Enough Space” Error Solution
Let us all agree on the fact that Sony sucks at doing anything software-related right. Just compare it to its competitions, Xbox, for example. Microsoft is too big of a hurdle? No more excuses. At any rate, I’ve seen multiple posts on different forums suggesting back and forth as to what is the real cause…
Mac Can’t Boot With External HDD Attached
It’s sort of official. I just got off from a phone call with Apple Support, and apparently the solution to “can’t boot with external HDD attached” is, removing the HDDs during the startup. Are we talking about PCs from 90s? Here’s the list of symptoms for those who want to go through them: Mac will…
