It’s yet another calendar series for Shortcuts. As I have written before, as powerful the Shortcuts is, it could use some handy functions surrounding general date managements — particularly days and weeks department. It is never hard to make a subroutine if you need one, however. I hope this particular function doesn’t sound too off…
Shortcuts app on iOS and macOS is one of the most powerful tool available to the platform. I strongly recommend anyone who owns an Apple device to give Shortcuts a try; it is equivalent of BASIC in our time. But not every functions a user would want is in the Shortcuts. Thankfully, what Shortcuts doesn’t…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
I do hope I wouldn’t need to come up with even more type-friendly password generators than this version. After making two, one for generic, one for copy-paste, versions of password generators, I am now hit with one of the weirdest policies I’ve encountered yet: there were different limits on how many digits and special characters…
As I have written in the past on generating a type-friendly password with Python, it hit me like a freight truck today. One of the Korean apps have “upped” their security policy demanding now I type the password which is likely 20 or more characters, completely random, on a virtual keyboard. If you have never…
The new redesigned Safari on iOS 26 minimizes the tab bar when the user is not going through the tabs themselves. It doesn’t matter what layout of the tab bar — Safari still minimizes the tab bar to the smallest possible size, much akin to the status bar on the traditional browsers. On iOS, there…
U2725QE does have its share of infamy amongst Thunderbolt laptop users, but none of them were particularly software related as far as I’ve heard so far. This issue, however, is entirely software. I really hope Dell would push a firmware update soon enough to address this issue. As such as it is, the purpose of…
With the launch of macOS 26, one would hope most, if not all, apps are prepared for the actual release. Every tech media I could think of has been covering macOS 26 betas endless since its initial release, and the public beta was available for the users to test out the waters. Unfortunately, and as…
The new AirPods, AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 3, do not have a physical button on the case — both AirPods now have capacitive touch sensor on the front of the case instead. Personally, I prefer where the sensor has been moved; simple tapping motion on the front of the case puts the device in…
iOS 26 introduced a new AI feature called Call Screening. It’s a feature that’s been touted several times on “what is possible” with the AI assistant, and I am curious to find out whether or not Siri would be useful enough to actually answer the calls. As far as I am aware, similar features were…
