   Man, I wish I could use something like this for my Swift macOS app [1] I’ve got tons of crash reports in Sentry that I have no idea what to do about. On things like: CFRelease() called with NULL replay could help me find where the

   Thanks for the insight! I would have probably just chosen direct_radiation not knowing better. Most users of this "brightness by sun position" feature work in rooms with lots of natural light so they complain about their screens b

   This looks like the API I was looking for to compute the best screen brightness in the absence of a light sensor in Lunar [0] I would probably do a request per day for each user of this feature, which would amount to about 300-400 requests&

   I've been using the GeoLite2 [0] downloadable database as a fallback for CoreLocation in my macOS app for changing monitor brightness based on the sun position [1]. It works well and with zero maintenance if you use their auto-updating

   I'm a happy user of Docker Desktop myself (as a personal user) so Enterprise is not the first thing that came to mind when I read your comment. Sorry for misinterpreting. In that case, seems fair enough that as a business suddenly bein

   It’s definitely not the same thing as the mail I received as it isn’t that directed. But based on my experience, I would say someone worked their ass off to make that UI (because Docker is damn hard for newcomers) and the automatic updates

   This is exactly why I got sick of selling my own app [1] and stopped developing other ideas. I gave people a fairly complex solution in an easy to use package for free because I had no idea other users would pay for it. Everyone was happy

    I’m sorry, it seems I forgot to make the repository public. Both links should be working now

    > reverse-biased LED with a Darlington-pair amplifier that's clever! I knew LEDs can be used as sensors but I never had the time to try it. Yeah, I don't know about DDC via the Mac Min HDMI. Weird things are happening with that

    Since then, Lunar has acquired a lot more AppStore violations like linking to frameworks located in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks, not being sandboxed, and not caring about a lot of their design guidelines. So I didn’t re

    I have about 5 or 6 of those square on/off ZigBee switches. They're perfect for automating through Home Assistant. Now I just have to find those encoders you're talking about. It's exactly what I wanted to buy.

    I’ve read that in a lot of places over the years and even got afraid of it when my LG 4k flickered a bit one day. But I’m sure I’ve went way past the 100k writes speculated limit with Lunar’s Smooth Transition and by testing Lunar 6 hours a

    I’m using the exact same screen and it is what led me to write Lunar actually. The screen is great, text is perfectly sharp in 4k on both M1 and Intel Macs. I don’t have the HDR function because I bought it 4-5 years ago but the colours loo

    It is really I2C over whatever cable you have between your monitor and your computer. I don’t know how they multiplex it through the Thunderbolt little wires but it does work.

    Yes, exactly. I’ve been using IOKit since day one which is pretty much completely banned from App Store apps.

    Thanks! If you ever notice Location mode is not enough for you, Lunar also supports external light sensors that you can very easily make yourself with the instructions here: https://lunar.fyi/sensor

    I can’t say for sure what the problem is in your case, but it’s definitely not a problem in Lunar. All the app does is call a macOS function called IOAVServiceWriteI2C to send a standard DDC message to the monitor (something like “set brigh

    I love knobs (rotary encoders mostly). I wish they were in everything where you need to adjust some range like brightness, contrast, volume, color warmth. For some time I really wanted a battery powered wireless rotary encoder that I can li

    Obviously not. I have close friends who worked as waiters (and even worse, in the kitchen), and they were getting $300/month on 12h of work with the promise of tips. That practice really needs to stop. Recently I went to a restaurant i

    Not really, rent has skyrocketed in major cities, especially around Computer Science universities. I had to split a 2 bedroom apartment far away from the city center with 2 other friends to get to $120/month.

    Hey, thank you for the support! I completely understand when users go with something more simple like a CLI or MonitorControl. I do the same myself when I don’t really need the features of a complex app. By the way, I’m not sure if I unders

    Unfortunately no, Gamma doesnt reduce the power consumption of the LED backlight of the monitor. It may in fact increase power use a bit because rendering black pixels needs more energy to excite the crystals. I haven't contacted Apple
