I do have a PS5 but I prefer purchasing games on Steam if I have the option since I know those games are practically guaranteed to be forward compatible long term. I’d love to ditch Windows though. I hope Valve continues to make progress wi

I literally have to "set up my computer" like 10 times a year now every time there's a seemingly "big enough" update, and it's just carefully navigating menus trying to get me to sign up for Microsoft services

There did not previously exist screenshots of everything my monitor displays any time I'm using my computer, and I don't want that data to exist. Sure, a lot of my activity could be pieced together from various other things that t

Or at the very least, every other week when your computer forcibly updates itself as Windows likes to do, and you go through your 127th iteration of the onboarding process to your own computer that you've owned for 4 years, one of the

I'd certainly expect you'd to be able to at the very least disable the stuff that does outgoing network requests. As for the stuff that's local to your device, how is your privacy being invaded? It's your device's O

This sounds like "other models in place of ChatGPT," and for those not in the know, ChatGPT is basically a fallback for requests that Apple's local / private cloud model can't fulfill, and the user has to give conse

Vision Pro isn't really designed to be a VR device first and foremost. The primary usecase is the passthrough mode whereas VR usually describes the software putting you in a different place.

Windows' multiple desktops implementation is half-baked and janky too. I was excited when they added that in Windows 10 but didn't end up using it because it's too awkward, slow, and limited.

Stage Manager is confusing as hell. It was designed for iPads in an attempt to give them some semblance of window management but even there it makes no sense. They tried to reinvent window management to be more "simple" but in doi

It does need screen recording permissions because trying to do what Bartender does on a closed down system like macOS is inevitably going to require a hack. The issue is we trusted the dev because we knew who he was and he'd have an an

I'm not one to defend Microsoft or Windows but I'm not really surprised they couldn't get the necessary info gathered (gathering engineering details, security inspection, possibly discussing changes to internal plans or engin

I couldn't get the screen recording permission to work at all after the last update. I emailed the dev(s?) and had a short exchange where they tried to help but it never got resolved. But after this I'm not trusting it at all.

Those are the ones I want visible though. The stuff I want to hide is infrequently used things, stuff like icons for passively running background apps, stuff like the JetBrains toolbox updater, zscaler on my work machine, etc.

For a piece of software that has screen recording access on my device, I'd rather we have someone to hold accountable and is willing to put their reputation on the line to disincentivize them from updating it one day to start sending o

I assume if there was a way to recreate what Bartender does as smoothly as Bartender without the recording permission, they or someone else would have done it by now considering it makes the setup process clunkier than what would be ideal.

Apple really needs to just build this functionality into macOS already. You shouldn't need to pay someone else to shove icons into a drawer. And on the new MacBooks with a notch through the center of the menu bar, it always seems like

Well, a community effort to reverse engineer the process and deobfuscate the javascript is keeping the tool alive. If they didn't step in to archive it, seemingly the cutoff would have been real. It would have been a better testament t
