YouTuber’s Waste My Time
Watching YouTube videos today for PKM Weekly and the biggest frustration I have with YouTuber’s is “fancy” intros that spend a minute or more wasting my time showing off stuff. Just get to the point. Even the PKM community is not immune to it. What baffles me is that some of the “biggest” channels spend […]
Writing advice from Matt Haughey – Don’t be an asshole
Good advice from Matt. Forget the word salad corporate speak and just tell people what you’re providing. I find this in YouTube videos as well. Everyone wants to do some fancy intro so you don’t get to the meat of the content for at least a minute. My goal is to get people into the…

Unlike music, which ate the recording industry particularly…

Once you’ve updated to Beta 4 and try to AirPlay to external speakers iPadOS tells you that you can’t use AirPlay while connected to an external display. If this persists it…
Let’s Just Use Passwords Please
One of the things I dislike most about modern account creation for sites is when they do not use a password and username combination. I’m sitting here waiting for 20 minutes for a code from Synology to setup my new device. Their advice is to, send another code and wait for 15 minutes to see…
