There is a new subgenre of horror which most horror lovers would have already seen one way or the other — liminal horror. Some of the liminal spaces went viral online, such as the Backrooms, for invoking sense of eeriness or uncanniness to the space itself. It is an acquired taste, even in the world…
It is without a doubt the easiest solution to improve the speed of any computer chipset is to simply bundle two in one. I’m not exactly suggesting that is the phenomenon we are seeing, though there could be an argument about Moore’s law and efficiency somewhere. This post is more or less a complaint on…
I am somewhat surprised not many reviewers or analysts mention the elephant in the room with the latest trends toward thinner smartphones: the USB-C port. It’s not just iPhone Air and thinner bar type smartphones that suffer from its own design choices. Foldable smartphones that are supposedly the future form factor are also severely impacted…
My Korean phone number is quite old. The number is as old as it could get, as South Korea began numbering 010 for all mobile numbers. Same goes with my American, still alive, number. I don’t think the American numbering scheme is easily accessible, but some websites do decline my number over it being an…
This one is a ‘reminder’ (no pun intended) for anyone who had migrated over from other task managers. On Apple’s Reminder, you can mimic the project-like behavior (i.e. putting sub actions underneath the parent) by simply dragging what will be a child under the project. In other words, there are GUI implementations of making a…
As a home baker, one of the most frequent accusations thrown at content creators I see — gadget reviewers, recipe authors, or just plainly writing about baking experiences — is their transparency: ties to the manufacturer, ties to the brands, ties to the producers, and so on. It boils down to a simple question —…
Recently I was asked what e-ink tablet I use for all my ebooks. Short answer: I don’t. I prefer to carry one device, and OLED on the smartphone has gotten better to the point where I can read comfortably outside. In fact, I think it has come to the point where e-ink displays now have…
I’ve dreamt of baking in an oven that doesn’t need turning half-way, but it seems such creature is thing of a myth. Even professionals comment they turn their sheets half-way for consistency. My oven, which I often bake in convection mode, should have less cold spots and hot spots, but I can still visibly see…
MKBHD’s rather unpopular side gig, Panels app is shutting down on coming this December 31. The app has been receiving incendiary receptions to say the least; it charged $50 per year for wallpapers. I have no interest on making arguments for or against the app — I was obviously not in the target demographic. I…
Few months ago, I wrote a spiel on a new Dyson PencilVac vacuum cleaner. It didn’t merit to be called a full-scale review, as I wasn’t testing the product against any other vacuums in the market, and quite frankly my research was limited to what fits into my needs and routines. Regardless, at the time,…
Of all things Valve is pushing, I find Early Access program to be easily abused because it demerits the narrative element of a game. Any games that are heavily based on its narrative or storytelling have limited shelf life; the moment it is released it will slowly sip through any and all social medias. But…
My first cloud storage subscription was not iCloud. It meant that when I switched over, I needed to make concessions. One of which was iCloud’s folder location. As far as I understand it, macOS does not allow local iCloud path to be changed from the pre-determined path. And the path itself is not the most…
The new onslaught of foldable iPhone rumors have been released: a. it will feature under-display camera for innards, b. it will feature Touch ID instead of Face ID, c. it will feature a larger battery, d. the foldable display will be crease-less, and finally e. it will be priced at $2,399. The prudence dictates we…
Some of the audio devices “installed” on a machine are bound to be virtual, especially if a user is using some kind of streaming or remote desktop features. The idea behind the virtual speakers or virtual microphones is it allows a software to reroute these audios to another device. No doubt there are variety of…
It is less likely scenario for macOS to be the host than the client for Steam Link, but it does indeed happen. I usually set my MacBook Air to be the host for Steam Link to play a stream the game session over to my phone, and no doubt there are other use cases where…
