This is a PSA for Logitech users. As of Jan 6, 2026 GMT, Logitech has failed to update its app, Logi Options + with a new certificate. If you are having trouble launching the app, there is a temporary solution that will work only on a limited environment (e.g. personal computer, not work computer). Logitech…
This post is for the documentation purpose. Looking back, most people would immediately find the solution before questioning all the other myriads of avenues of possibilities like I did. Long story short, fixing the problem wasn’t the issue. It was why it happened that boggled my mind. During the installation of Python 3.14.2 through pyenv,…
Python, with its dominant status, does not have an easy way to install and kickstart the experience for beginners or anyone who simply wishes to run Python scripts. Fortunately, for most modern systems, it comes packaged with some version of Python — which is also inevitably an open invitation for disaster. Python has been changing…
I can’t speak for all Bose speakers — this might be an issue only with older models. One I have is SoundLink Revolve II, a cylinder-shaped speaker with an optional charging cradle. I use my speaker to play music or radio (via smartphone app) while showering or doing morning routines. It’s great for what it…
Stellaris has come the long way since its 1.0 release. I, for one, only heard about the franchise after 2.0, but I can certainly attest to the fact that the game has seen major changes that would affect not only min-maxing, but general rule of the games entirely. One such occasion is actually the added…
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…
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…
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…
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…
After the 30 days decision, the first change I wanted to make immediately to the site was letting readers know that comments will be closed after certain period. I didn’t get into details before, WordPress simply doesn’t load comments section if the post in question doesn’t have any comments and the submission is closed. In…
On WordPress, the default behavior for comments section has an oddly hidden notification message. It is only shown when a post already has some comments, and the comment section must be closed for future submission. It simply reads: “Comments are closed”. It sounds obvious and communicates to the fact why the comment field is not…
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…
