One of the many utilities I love that comes with my Set App subscription is AlDente Pro. As others have pointed out, it allows me to set 80% as the max for my battery and it also will change the color of the LED on the magsafe connector to

Yes, the utter malice that has been displayed by the NYT over the years is mind boggling - yet they still seem to have this reputation as "the gray lady" as if they should be held in upmost regard. I get it that people want to tr

>Can someone show me a story from the NYT world or US news sites that are deliberately misleading? How about their "reporting" on the jews and certain activities with them in a European country before the US entered WWII? Just

Of course the news has always been partisan. They were just honest about it in the past. Look how many newspapers have Democrat or some variation of Republican in their masthead. The real scandal is the recent fiction that journalists

So yes, he did a dumb thing and clicked on a malicious file. What's mind boggling to me (and him!) is it appears that the attackers, just by having a copy of his Google session cookie, were able to then impersonate him and change his

Good god - the FBI recently got outed (Twitter files - Elon Musk - hello?) paying more than $30M to Twitter to do their bidding. Are you really this ignorant of current events?

Why is it up to companies and "western countries" to fight disinformation? Especially when it often turns out they are the biggest propagators of it?

Some really good rules of thumb! If you are interested in diving deeper, there is also a lot of good thinking in the US Web Design System - freely available here: https://designsystem.digital.gov

Tivo has a pure OTA model that is a reasonable deal. And their UI still beats the pants off of everyone else. Heck they finally embraced commercial skipping too. If you don't something cheaper/more DIY oriented I'm really h

Channels DVR works with quite a few streaming services (via TV Anywhere) and does commercial skip too. I use it with YouTube.TV as well as Philo. My parents also pick up OTA with an HD HomeRun on their channels DVR. The downside to Channe
