Indeed I just tried out Nightly and am disappointed it is missing. I have given them a little nudge so hopefully they add Look Up to the context menu before this hits stable.

Wow finally! I have to admit while I love Firefox using it on macOS just feels crappy as it is so out of place. I am a huge user of the macOS "Look Up" content menu feature and it being missing in Firefox always frustrates me. A

Looking "native" on Windows is a very difficult thing these days. To me classic Win32 is what "looks" native whereas all their modern apps like Mail and Calendar don't look native at all even though they are. Office

I believe this is correct. I have always ran a 4K monitor and never hit this issue. My 15" (2018) and 16" MacBook Pro run silent when connected to the 4K monitor as it uses 2x scaling by default (so 4K "looks like" 1080p

Not connecting email, calendar, social media, or anything else that produces notifications is the best thing I ever did with a tablet. Email, social media, etc. is a productivity black hole due to notifications. At first I tried disabling

I setup Bitwarden for my mother and step-father last year as it is free for basic use and they don't care for any of the advanced features. While the UX of Bitwarden isn't quite as polished neither have had any issues. They use it

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I have mentioned this here before but after a friend (and previous manager and mentor) died in his early 50s literally overworking I totally changed my life. He was found by his wife and son as they

They are referring to the shell being integrated into Finder similar to the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code or IntelliJ IDEs not launching a separate Terminal.app window.

Andreas (the creator of SerenityOS) and the community have been an absolute joy this past year. Andreas recently setup a Discord server for the project and it is wonderful. It is full of people helping each other with OS development, enhanc

I keep a daily journal using the Day One app. [1] It has a nice feature to print-to-order a physical book of your entries. I have done this for a few "collections" of entries such as birthdays, weddings and other special/big

Thanks, I have several Chinese/Asia news sources from December however I was asking for a BBC reference as M2Ys4U mentioned it was reported by the BBC on New Years Eve and the earliest I have is January 3rd.

If you have any links to articles or news reports I would be very grateful.

How it changed indeed! Reading my journal for the first four months of 2020 is fascinating. I must have read over those first few months ten times since. So much has happened with advice and guidance changing as we learn more about the viru

I think most people thought the same. As you said there have been a few blips but I suspect those would have happened under Jobs also. Seems Jobs was bang on with wanting Tim Cook as his successor.

Shows just how desensitised to sugar I was as I could easily eat two or three(!) full size Mars bars before I cut out sugar. If I was running late in the morning I would have a Mars bar and a 330ml bottle of Coke or Pepsi for breakfast ! L

I have a similar story. Many friends asked me how I lost weight. Did I join a gym? Start running? Keto? The answer is boring but I cut out sugar. I stopped adding it to drinks. I stopped drinking soda and fruit juices and smoothies (fruit j

Even in Windows 10 you can still go to the "old style" (Windows 2000 days) settings screen and adjust for "best performance" which disables close to every UI enhancement Windows supports. Drop shadows on windows and desk

Oh I know every single tweak out there, sadly many no longer work in Big Sur. But even before that you have not been able to fully disable every animation in macOS for as long as I can remember.

Oh how I wish I could do this on macOS. Yes there is a "reduce motion" setting but there is no remove motion setting and a whole bunch of animations remain most notably minimize/maximize of windows (I can at least change fr

Very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to reply, I am always interested to hear different use cases to my own. Hopefully things improve as Apple Silicon becomes better supported over the next few months.

Ah yes that makes more sense. Are these containers and VMs native or running under Rosetta 2? I use VMware Fusion a lot on my Intel MBP but haven't had a look at virtualisation on the M1 just yet. Waiting for it to mature a little more

I am usually around 50-60%. I don't work outside though so never need to crank it up. I find it automatically adjusts it fine.

The M1 MBP? That is what I am using (1TB/16GB model) and I easily get the 17 hours stated for web use. Even doing development in Xcode I can go 13-15 hours. It is the most impressed I have been with a laptop since the introduction of m
