VM is a must-have for most users nowadays, but unfortunately Windows is not quite VM-ready. If you are experiencing an error message suggesting VM has started on its own, this is for you.

Accelerate an App for Internal Display on macOS Mojave
The arrival of eGPU in Macs came with lots of surprises and tweaking. I am sure some have already read the extensive eGPU guides available on the internet, and on MTP as well. Mojave, in that sense, clarifies and opens up boarders to many users. This tip, by the way, comes at a wrong time…
Add Second Address Line on Mac Calendar
macOS and iOS come with a decent default calendar app called “Calendar”. Jokes aside, Calendar comes with an embedded travel time feature, which allows users to schedule travel time ahead. For example, if you happen to have a meeting in downtown, you can add “Meeting” as an event, and then add 30 mins as a…
Remove AppleScript from Menu Bar
DevonThink users would be quite familiar with AppleScript; it comes in handy for any organization work, except for its presence in the menu bar. With the introduction of more GUI-friendly kit, Automator, since OS X, not all users need a speed dial for AppleScript.
Hide Home Button on Microsoft Edge
Nobody has “home” anymore on world wide web. We move around freely, because we are all tied around Google, not Yahoo, the yellow page of, well, internet. But oddly enough, Edge does not have accessible options to simply remove the Home button from the toolbar, despite the fact that it is doable.
When iTunes Home Sharing won’t appear on iOS
It’s an iTunes problem, yet again. If you are using Macs and iOS devices on your network, likely you are already taking advantage of “home sharing” feature embedded in iTunes.
Disabling WordPress Theme Updates Notification
WordPress comes with some quirks,as its a free, open-source platform. While WordPress as a software has come a long way since becoming one of the pioneers, its economy is no different from mobile OS. Plugins and themes almost always fall in to 4 categories: free, freemium, paid, or subscription. And unfortunately some of these paid…
Compress Tar without Parent Folder
I’ve written on compressing files with XZ algorithm. If you had done so already, you would’ve noticed by now that using that command line by line will cause the program to create an archive with all of its parent folders included.
Change Hostname in Ubuntu
Ubuntu is not idiot-proof. You won’t get Mac-like experience in this Linux distribution. Instead, you will get Windows-like experience with an opportunity to solve one problem at a time without yelling toward Seattle.
Fix macOS Shared Folder ‘Not Found’ Error
While Mac handles vast majority of things nicely without too much asking questions, keeping network connection to a NAS drive is not one of them. If you happen to be on WiFi, and your Mac is likely to go to sleep frequently (i.e. it’s a laptop), you will see an annoying error message anytime you…
Disable Gameplay Recording Paused Notification on PS4
Playstation 4 packs enough social network in it to have publishes go extra miles to disable the feature of the new generation. This does NOT stop anyone from recording one’s footage, however; rather, it makes it a teddy bit more cumbersome to share short footages with friends with insane ‘Recording Paused’ notification spamming.
Export PS4 Medias without Physical USB Drives
PS4 should have been equipped with state-of-art cloud features. But as we all know, this console is made by Sony, not Microsoft. Only way to utilize self-acclaimed powerful sharing features is to share it via PlayStation Network and tiny selection of social platforms. That being said, if you can manage to export the photos and…
When Macs with Nvidia Graphics Won’t Boot, with Full Loading Bar
While current Retina lines of Macs tend to run on Intel iGPUs and AMD Radeons, previous generation was primarily delivered with Nvidia’s. It shouldn’t come as a surprise then if Nvidia is not opting Mac in to their extended support. If you are experiencing the issue I am describing, I can only hope you have…
Create and Restore Disk Images on macOS
Disk Utility may be a powerful GUI tools, but sometimes having a manual control is more assuring. I believe disk images are one such issue. If you happen to be working with headless disk images, say for your raspberry pi projects, it’s more recommended (due to its swiftness and control) to use command line interfaces.
Uninstalling Built-in Apps on Windows 10
Windows 10 is plagued with uncertain UX, and its store front is definitely not hiding it. While you can delete most of the apps by simply clicking on “uninstall” from the start menu, you don’t have much options for built-in sharewares Microsoft decided to put it. You can delete Skype, but not “Get Skype” app.…
