Well thanks! Lately I’ve been afraid of the page becoming too information-dense because there are so many features and edge-cases I need to let people know about. I’m really glad to hear that from you!

If opening the 80/443 port is such a nuissance in your setup, I would not bother with hosting from home and I'd just drop the website folder in Netlify Drop ( https://app.netlify.com/drop ) That's what I did fo

sanity.io sounds and looks awesome! I didn't know about it until now. I'm wondering if Sanity would be a good fit for creating static websites for other non-technical people but still give those people the power to update the cont

The HDMI port on most recent Mac devices uses a converter chip inside to convert the signal to DisplayPort internally. That chip has DDC/CI blocked in its firmware and there's no way to enable it.

Lunar ( https://lunar.fyi ) supports up to 3 hotkeys to switch input using DDC. Also the functionality is completely free, the Pro license isn’t needed if you only switch inputs and occasionally adjust brightness or volume. This m

I found Cmd-Tab to be too slow for me after coming from Windows where I used Win+number. I had to create a new app to scratch that itch: https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd I think the consistent shortcuts for switching between ta

Lunar can control the real backlight of the MacBook display by tapping into the private DisplayServices system framework. The app only supports integer values between 0 and 100 but the framework supports floating point values between 0 and

There is no way to get DDC working on that port. It’s probably locked in the chip firmware. All we can do is to provide software dimming using Gamma table alteration, or tell people to use the Thunderbolt ports instead.

Lunar can do that: https://lunar.fyi It’s free for manual brightness adjustments. Just make sure to use one of the Thunderbolt ports of the MacBook. And if it still doesn’t work, check if there’s any monitor setting that could b

When the new MacBook Pro came out this year, everyone was puzzled as to why the newly included HDMI port was only 2.0. Well it turns out they lied. It’s 2.1 after all! \s Jokes aside, it’s actually only 2.0 because internally they transmit

Damn, 4 hours! I just got into a bit of video editing because I had to do a real app demo for my new app, for it to be approved on the App Store ( https://lowtechguys/rcmd ) This should come in handy for the next app!

This is marvellous! I loved when YouTube recommended me some stuff about camera angles from Vox, or how interesting old 3D cameras worked. I didn’t really know how to search for this kind of content, this channel is gold!

Thanks a lot! I’m definitely not looking for technical stuff only. It’s just that, YouTube’s recommendation algorithm skews me in that direction. I like watching videos about interesting bits of history, debating/solutions for various

Whoa, this will keep me busy for a lot of boring mornings. There are a lot of physics concepts I struggle to understand, like what are electrons if they aren’t orbiting particles as we were taught, and what really is quantum entanglement. T

This sounds just like the kind of thing I was looking for! Thanks!

When I first saw this product announced, I immediately wanted to replace my manual solution with it. I’ve been putting it off because other work had to be done, but now that I read this, I think I’ll stick with my current workflow for now.

I don't mean that edge cases are frequent, only that they're frequently asked about. The edge cases happen for less than 2% of my users, but there's a very high chance of receiving a complaint about that edge case. If I hav

It’s a bit confusing, I know. In my view, there are tens of thousands of ways you can arrange your monitor setup. Given the factors: monitor cable hub/dock/adapter/dongle monitor port maybe KVM Mac device port

Indeed, it is more related to troubleshooting. Which is why Lunar has an automated diagnostics tool which can tell the user if the problem comes from the monitor, and shows some troubleshooting steps specific to their monitor: https:/

For my products, FAQs have always been about edge cases where I usually have no control in fixing/implementing. For example for Lunar ( https://lunar.fyi ), an app that controls monitors through the DDC standard: 1. Some

Hi Vlad! Thanks for the kind words! The way I usually solve this name clash is with rcmd-rshift-T. So I would first press rcmd-ralt-T to assign T to the most used app (that for me would be Terminal). Then I would use: rcmd-T: to show&

Yes, kernel panic seems more plausible. Although I’m not sure if the fans should start spinning in a kernel panic. I’ve managed to trigger kernel panics a lot when testing DDC on Intel with Lunar ( https://lunar.fyi ) and all I wa

Whoa that's incredible! Yes, selection does also highlight the annotations but the good part is that copying ignores them. I just selected the whole formula, pressed Cmd-C, Cmd-V and got this: Cn1cnc2c1c(=O)[nH]c(=O)n2C
