In one of the previous post, I wrote a Python code to generate “type-friendly” version of random passwords, where “type-friendly” meant generating clusters of strings. But touchscreen isn’t the only time I want custom grammar rules from password managers. Password managers generally have better UI to create random passwords for whatever length you choose. The…
Of many things Apple have added to iPhone, or removed from iPhone, one thing I do not understand is how half-baked Action Button is. It’s true that configurable button is more preferable, but it is also true Action Button is not configurable enough to become a new feature of its own. A lot of it…
With the Lunar New Year now come and gone, it’s time to prepare for other holidays that will come. Again, the macOS calendar does provide default holiday calendar of the place you are at now; but if you are planning to travel, for example, you might want to add a new calendar for destination. And…
I’ve been using Sublime Text since version 2, and of its many features, one I needed the most is definitely the additional packages and extensions you can install based on your needs. Only problem is that Sublime Text doesn’t support cloud sync out of the box, so the user does have to tweak it to…
Choosing the right username can never be more important now than it did before. If your journey in computing started in some computing center with UNIX, no doubt the importance of 3 characters-long username hasn’t escaped you. Whereas, if you started your computing with a PC like I did, a proper or useful username is…
I don’t particularly appreciate AI in the field of writing. My experience with AI so far as a reader was that it’s either so good you could have hired a squadron of ghost writers with the same budget to run the AI, or it’s so bad you are spamming Google with the AI-generated contents. Ultimately,…
For the life of me, I do not see why this is a thing for Korean websites and apps, but Korean apps often require “virtual keyboard” on a smartphone. Yes, you heard me correctly. On a smartphone’s virtual touchscreen keyboard, they insist to put in a new randomized keyboard for security sake, while banning the…
I’ve written in the past about Time Machine errors with the same error messages, and this is yet another one of the troubleshoots. I didn’t realize hibernation managed by Synology DSM could have an effect on the client side’s Time Machine. Symptoms Symptoms are nearly identical as before. I was seeing the pop up message…
iOS Shortcuts is one of the main reason why I recommend iOS as a platform. Not only you can pull different apps together to automate ‘smart’ behaviors, it brings GUI accessibility for BASIC-like programming experience to iOS devices. I often find apps without a proper implementation are usually the one with makeshift ideas and scripts,…
The title of this post is rather wordy than it should be. If you are planning to subscribe to PlayStation Plus in another account for myriad of reasons, this is the process you want it done BEFORE the subscription runs out. The emphasis is well-deserved, as you would lose access to your cloud storage immediately…
This problem has plagued me for the past few months. As some of you are aware, I have an Intel Mac, not the latest Apple Silicon hardwares with GPTK or else. This meant that whenever I booted up to Bootcamp Windows, I was facing several challenges. One of them was Bluetooth accessories; I needed to…
This week is bit hectic with everything going on in South Korea. So this one is one of the reserved pieces I was thinking to publish should I need more time to work on a post. This is a commonly known trick for seasoned Mac users, and a feature I believe should be available on…
Did you know Windows 11 is shipped with power button replaced with hibernation? If you are starting a computer from cold boot, the computer isn’t starting a boot up process from scratch; in fact, it’s reloading the cache from what was on the previous session. I won’t go into the details as to what the…
If you are having trouble connecting to Synology DSM via web with recent influx of Firefox and macOS updates, this is likely the cause. The odd bit of it all is that in my case, it didn’t happen after an update. I didn’t get any updates on either one, it just happened out of the…
Logitech Harmony is no longer maintained. Perhaps “maintained” is not the right word; Logitech stopped manufacturing of the product, but the server —for accounts and DBs— is maintained. As far as I am aware, this also indicates the DB for the device lists and commands aren’t kept up as rigorously. Many users are already stockpiling…
