My “new” AppleTV Remote is Terrible
by
Say what you want about the “old” remote, it worked. My kid dropped it and broke the glass on it…and it work for years. Despite going through the reset and repair instructions from Apple, I still have to stand almost in touching the AppleTV for my remote to work. I love the new AppleTV 4k…
You Should Have Your Own Website
by
I entirely agree that you should have your own website. As Treyton says, you should own your content. I started saying back in 2018 that I thought Twitter threads were bad. Then only a few weeks before Elon bought Twitter I said that every thread should be a blog post. Even as I’m now on…
Greg On Why We Keep Watching Twitter
by
From Greg: I’ve had enough of reading and listening about Twitter as the next person. So much so I’ve muted the words on Mastodon, and it has removed almost all trace of it. However, I get it. I still can’t help myself reading every new post that crosses my attention, and I know why we…
Work Around for Broken AirPlay in 16.2
by
As I wrote a few weeks ago, 16.2 broke the ability to AirPlay to speakers while plugged into an external monitor on iPadOS. If you’re still on 16.2 then you can get around this by using a Shortcut to set the audio output destination to an AirPlay device. You can download my version of the…
An Emergency for You Doesn’t Mean a Panic for Me
by
I find this good advice for life. When my kid doesn’t get ready fast (she’s 12) and then is in a panic about not getting to school on time, it doesn’t mean I have to panic, or care at all. She made the decision to sleep in and to sit on the couch for 20…
We Need Local News
by
Interesting read about how local news is dying. I know the same thing is happening in Canada. The local paper in Prince George stopped printing just before I moved here a year ago. It does have a website though. I’ve read that much of this death is due to the hyper-targeted advertising that Facebook, Google,…
Issues with Apple Reminders
by
While I like and use Apple Reminders, it’s not all sunshine and roses in Reminders land. Let’s look at some of the shortcomings of Apples task management platform. Shortcuts You’ll note that I never specifically covered the integrations between Reminders and Shortcuts. That’s because they’re pretty lackluster. Yes I’ve looked around and seen lots of…
iPadOS 16.2 is out and is buggy
by
iPadOS 16.2 is out with external monitor support for everyone. If you want a deep dive check out MacStories excellent look at it. If you’re a video person check out Chris’ video. While I love proper external monitor support AirPlay is still broken. When you’re connected to an external monitor that has any type of…
Like Marc Said…Writing is Magical
by
I entirely agree with Marc, writing is magical. All of his reasons are excellent, but I use 4 and 5 regularly. At my programming gig if any issue in Github takes more than a quick fix then I document it in our work Obsidian system alongside the issue. Yes sometimes it shows failed paths that…
