Let’s begin with Apple TV, a streaming box that is largely unnoticeable when discussing Apple’s sales figures. Of the three devices in the title, Apple TV is oddly the most independent. It is, for the lack of better word, an iPhone of a streaming box. It supports majority of the streaming services via third party…
There are already leaked insider talks and rumors of how Microsoft higher-ups see of its gaming division. And it isn’t completely alienated from the yes mens I’ve seen on the internet; the idea was that with seemingly infinite budget Microsoft could muster, the entire console market is within reach. Suffice it to say, throwing money…
As I was preparing for this piece, the title was originally ‘how to save GIFs’, only to realize that will confuse even more readers and users of SingleFile. If you have tried to save a webpage using SaveFile that contains modern animated images, likely the result would not contain the image itself. The problem goes…
Philips had multiple IoT lighting products, including generic desk lamps, floor stands, and light bulbs. I wanted to focus specifically on, perhaps not their latest, but quite frankly, the most versatile product I’ve seen yet from Philips Hue. It can stand up right; it can stand sideways; it can be attached to a surface with…
My first ever baking experience was a bit nightmarish. I couldn’t get some of the ingredients I had hoped for, and most importantly, I couldn’t measure it in a way that makes sense for a complete novice. An old American recipe called for “a stick of butter” and left out how big the stick is.…
AirPods Max is likely the only Apple-made electronics that has mesh fibers instead of the usual choice of metals. Not that it doesn’t have metallic exteriors on the sides, it uses materials that needs maintenance as it tends to collect dust and other debris. The part needs to be cleaned most frequent, the ear cups,…
The Electron issue plaguing macOS 26 Tahoe isn’t something a user can fix. Aside from downgrading back to Sequoia, which is likely more trouble than its worth, it is better to keep Electron apps at arm’s length. If it is constantly running in the background, such as 1Password (fixed), it is best to voice your…
Duolingo, the popular language learning app, has been pushing the ads in South Korea quite rigorously, and I’m giving it a go for a year. The fact that I can jump to another language if I feel stuck at certain ‘level’ of a language to give myself a refresher (i.e. sleep on it) is definitely…
If you are using a single computer amongst multiple PlayStation players, (e.g. different players on family computers, regional PlayStation accounts by the same person) Behaviour has made some dubious choices on their end to make the life difficulty for most players. The website, when it is linking PSN accounts, does so automatically without asking the…
With the recent announcement all desktop Meta Messenger app for Windows and macOS will be depreciated this coming December, I had to login to my Facebook account to see how the web interface has changed since forever. To be frank, I was never a heavy Facebook user. I liked it as another option amongst myriads…
With major rumors hinting the new (e.g. PS6) console is set to release as early as Fall 2027, no doubt most console owners and players on controllers have heard of the stick drifts on controllers, on controllers of any platform. Current generation of consoles were released in 2020, so it wouldn’t be so surprising more…
I’ve been using ‘magnetic tip cables’, including Apple’s laptop MagSafe and old USB-A magnetic tip cables from generic brands, not knowing the full risks of what they entail. Before I get into the story, I do want to make one thing clear: Apple’s MagSafe is safe. It’s not the reason why I am writing this…
One of the GUI features available on macOS side is its automation. I often contribute Mac’s near-obsessive focus on user automation has to do with the early days of PC experience, experimenting with BASIC for the first time on a computer. That being said, on Mac, if you select multiple items to “rename”, Finder gives…
Silent Hill franchise finally has a new installment in the franchise, and it’s called Silent Hill f and it’s set in 1960s, Japan. I know there were quite the concerns about the status of the IP under Konami and the future outlook of it; I believe The Short Message and Silent Hill 2 (2024) have…
I thought to write this as a PSA piece, but there is also a great web app that could help along the way. Long story short, Electron framework, known to be used for desktop apps for cross-platform compatibility and web app likeliness, has a bug that causes GPU performances issues on macOS 26 Tahoe. The…
