Boohoo, poor multi-billion pound company.

Maybe you shouldn't have been scammy little cunts.

I feel like you're giving yourself ideas ;)

Shame they ignored all this when they created Liquid Glass and forced it into a desktop OS...

New article! A very brief compare n' contrast of Apple's design since ~'01.

“Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like… Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” —Steve Jobs, The New York Times, 2003.

Why do people on Reddit seem to think that ChatGPT is the answer to everything, and that every answer it generates is 100% truthful cos it has "access to the internet"...

Idiots.

Naaah... fuck future me :P

Internal TLS cert expired for my home lab. Had to work out the whole process I did a year ago to renew it. Renewed it for 3 years. Will go through the whole process again in 2028. You're welcome Future Me !

You can also do this in the terminal

defaults write -g com.apple.SwiftUI.DisableSolarium -bool YES

Go into Settings - Accessibility - Display and turn on Reduce Transparency. Makes it better, but not brilliant.

I buy mayonnaise, no idea what mayonaise is ;)

Oh my days @aptshadow.bsky.social - why did you let _this_ happen ?!

4 Book spines - 3 with the author name at the top and the title at the bottom, but the last one is transposed.

Title sequences on Youtube videos annoy me massively.

I don't need a title sequence, I know what channel I'm watching cos I clicked on the video...

Print some spool rings for it, or rough the edges of the spool up with some sandpaper so it has more "grip".

I had to turn that off to make it work.

I had something similar and it was because my router was blocking multicast packets. When I allowed them I was able to stream again. Nothing to do with Google Home at all.

Man, Youtubers are in a different world to the rest of us.

You didn't "reinvent the clock", you just built a clock.

The chances of get anything CLOSE to styrene poisoning from a single 3d printer is very slim. It's wildly overblown in the 3d printing space - it's mostly hearsay.

I sat in my office for ~4 years with 7 3d printers, one of which printed polycarbonate, and have had absolutely no health issues.

Until you install something that upgrades your kernel, now all your DKMS's need recompiling cos nothing works, but one won't recompile cos it's not compatible with that kernel version so that application is now no longer something you can use :P

This is one of the core things that is getting me to learn how to switch to Linux. There have been a few annoyances and challenges along the way but nothing unsolvable, and ZERO AI.

Played this back when it just came out in EA. Two of us spent 3 hours trying to put a pizza back in a box so it would be accepted for the mission :P
