The abbreviation doesn’t have to be the first few letters verbatim either. For example, I use ‘du’ to launch Disk Utility and ‘ff’ for Firefox.

Like Quicksilver, Alfred, Launchbar, Butler, Raycast, and many other launchers, you can train Spotlight to always launch the same thing depending on what abbreviation you type.

The next time you go to launch Chrome, type ch and then use the arrow keys to navigate to the Chrome result to launch it.

You may have to do that for one more launch. After that it should always launch Chrome with ‘ch’.

Smultron is a good one that I’ve been using for over a decade alongside BBEdit. The developer offers versions for 10.10 Yosemite and newer.

The T2 chip is Apple silicon, and marked the beginning of really locking down the OS running on a Mac (as opposed to iOS, which was always locked down that way, and Intel Macs which of course could run anything).

It was the first mass market SoC hardware test of their new Mac chip design and it seems it was also to prep macOS for the M line. The level of control Apple gave it makes repair and refurbishing very difficult without Apple’s authorization.

Many apps are missing many keyboard shortcuts that you may be used to

This is true. To see the ones that are available, hold down the command ⌘ key to get a scrollable list of all of the shortcuts for the app you’re currently using, and use Fn-m or globe key-m to see a list of the system shortcuts.

Yes, AdGuard works. That’s what I use, although I appreciate the other recommendations in the sibling comments above.

VNC and other Remote Desktop solutions work, I use an app called Screens to remotely manage my Macs and PC from an iPad with keyboard and mouse.

Or did you mean the other way around? It would be great to have the iPhone mirroring feature on iPads.

I believe what you wrote here has ten times more impact in convincing people.

Seconded. It was great to follow along in your post here as you unpacked what was happening. Maybe a spoiler bar under the article like “Into the weeds: A deeper dive for the curious”

I skimmed the article but couldn’t bring myself to sit through that style of writing so I was pleased to find a discussion here.

Same here, I was confused and disappointed when I clicked the link and was presented with yet another screen recorder.

Hold down the Command key when you have something selected in Spotlight, it will reveal the path.

Two iPads, an iPod Touch and an iPhone of mine have been made unusable by OS updates. If Apple had made the cutoff just one OS version sooner, then they would still feel snappy to use. They’re not actually bricked, but completely unusable and essentially e-waste.

Agreed, pulling the phone out of a pocket with my thumb on the home button and having it unlocked and ready to use by the time I look at it is is ideal.

Much better than having to pull it out, hold in in a way that it can see my face, then swipe up, then wait for the stupid animation at the top of the screen to finish and the actual unlock to occur and then finally be able to use the device.

Except that Apple didn’t make this. It’s made by the Issey Miyake brand.

Agree with the frustration at their SSD and RAM upgrade prices, but Apple doesn’t make the iPhone Pocket. It’s made by the Issey Miyake brand.

The iPhone Pocket is not made by Apple. It’s made by the Issey Miyake brand.

That’s not… an option for the workflow it’s currently being used in. I’ll hunt for more user-generated scripts to modify on that forum. Thanks for your response.

Thank you, good to know AHK is able to do part of what Keyboard Maestro can, it just requires more work and troubleshooting for every script/macro.

That example script also doesn’t let you simply drag a marquee selection to choose the image to find, you have to provide a file path to an image that already exists. That’s not

There must be a market for something more user friendly, at least on Windows.

I wish there was something like Keyboard Maestro for Windows or Linux. It seems like there isn’t. I’d love to be corrected, though!

From what I can tell, AHK can’t do (m)any of the cool things that KM does, like “Click at Found Image”, “Set the Find Pasteboard”, “Prompt for Screen Rectangle”, “Stream Deck Show OK”, “Increase Song Rating by Half a Star”, “OCR Image/Screen”, “Paste from Named Clipboard”, or many other useful actions. Is there any Windows or Linux application that can?

“Show Borders” is available in Accessibility-> Display & Text Size in iOS 26.1. (Along with Increase Contrast and Reduce Transparency)

It was a 10W. I ran many system-intensive games and only remember battery drain when using a smaller power brick, but never ran Geekbench on loop to test that.

Perhaps with some tablets, but the iPad 2 and first gen shipped with an adapter (20W?) that didn’t allow that to happen, in my experience.

Yes, similar to the slower M4 Max option. The Mac Studio with either M4 Max or M3 Ultra uses 8533 MT/s LPDDR5X.

Memory bandwidth for the M4 Max is 410 GB/s with the 32-core GPU or 546 GB/s with the 40-core GPU. It’s 819 GB/s in the M3 Ultra config.

I took a gander: “Available for around $1,250 to $1,500 before shipping and potential import fees … if your primary bottleneck is VRAM for loading massive models … it is not an RTX 4090 replacement for high-speed inference on smaller models, but it is a VRAM barrier-breaker for running the giants of the open-source world.”

Looks good, nice to have the option of a dedicated HN app for watchOS instead of having to open a full-fledged reader like News Explorer. RSS on the watch is great.

Very cool, please do!

I used Marius’ Portainer guides for both Frigate[1] and iSpy Agent DVR (not OSS)[2].

I haven’t been able to get Frigate to see the garden eufy cam yet but iSpy worked right away with the same credentials.

I’ll choose my next cameras based on the Thingino supported list. Thank you to everyone working on this project!

You’re thinking of trademark law, not copyright.

They were Nvidia failures due to a manufacturing defect. My 15” 2008 Nvidia 8600-equipped MBP was repaired out of warranty (for free) for this issue.

All MacBook Pros from late 2007 to 2010 used Nvidia GPUs, not AMD.

Search “nvidia 8600 fail” to read more.

Focusing on the number of “keys” is an attempt to deceive.

Yes, moving focus to the location bar and then copying the URL gives you the same result. It’s not the same number of steps as copying the URL without changing focus.

Ctrl-L, then while still holding Ctrl, hitting C is not the same number of steps as chording Ctrl-Shift and hitting C. Two steps vs one step.

That’s a good point. I’m looking for the same thing.

OT: for your old Mac mini with the non-selectable Bluetooth “add” button, maybe try Mouse Keys.
