I like the iODD virtual disc drives, I have an ST400 that has been pretty reliable aside from complaining when the iso files are too "fragmented".

For macOS users you can download the Network Link Conditioner preference pane (it still works in the System Settings app) to do this system wide. I think it's in the "Additional Tools for Xcode" download.

Yeah but all OSes have UX problems that require third party tools to fix. Hell, you could argue that FDO/GNOMEs "no use an extension" attitude is exactly the same thing. It's a useless metric.

My favorite rendition of this phenomenon is video player controls that only appear if you mouse over the content. So, if I want to pause a video to focus on something, god help me if that something is in the lower third of the frame and cen

Once you get the vaccine you generally only need a few boosters and you're done. I haven't gotten a diphtheria vax since I was a child. What a waste of time! If masks don't do anything why do surgeons wear them?

"Developers let Claude Code delete their production setup, including database" Claude Code has no agency. It does what you tell it, where you let it, with a randomized temperature where it might randomly deviate.

Re-litigating assertions is sometimes incredibly useful. Firefox isn't in the spot it's in because it doesn't copy Material Poo/Liquid Ass enough, or because it doesn't look like Chrome enough, or that in a somewhat

Look you can write the funny numbers in whatever accounting mumbo jumbo you want, but I paid more to cover the cost to the supplier == I paid the tariffs.

No, they still make sense and work just fine on large displays. I have two 2880x2560 displays on my Mac. A flick of the trackball gets me to the menubar no matter where the window is or how large it is.

Somewhere on my list of projects is "Gut a 12" Powerbook and put the guts of a modern M series Macbook in it". The chassis is so spacious and the Macbook Air logic boards are so small, physics is not going to be a problem. Ju

Why would that mean that, when iPads have had A series and M series chips for ages now?

That or the 12" Retina MacBook, which weighed 0.67 lbs less than the neo and Air do. And it does make a difference! It's disappointing they finally got the silicon for the "thin and light at all costs" form factor but ga

Yeah I guess the only reason I stick with iTerm over some new thing is because I'm either not in the terminal all the time (I just killed an emacs process and my shell reported it was running for 191 hours, 43 min) or because I'm

If "just hotspot your phone" was hunky dory why does Apple sell iPads with cellular modems? Also, have you ever used an iPad with a cellular modem? It's a far better experience than tethering. One (larger) battery to run down

That's only because they are focusing on upstreaming all of their work into the kernel first. A handful of them spent a small amount of time building some device trees for M3 and it didn't take them long to get to the point M1&#x2

As far as I know Little Snitch uses a user-space Network Extension, which uses a public API added by Apple to the OS specifically to help devs move out of kernel space.
