Time Machine backup is a MUST in this time and age, especially after you just paid couple thousands in Mac. Ultimately, no matter how ridiculous issue you just encountered on your machine, if you have a complete backup of the system, there should be no concern. I can’t believe I have to say this in…
One of the bad habits of older social websites are its insatiable inclination toward censorship. And I do not say this lightly. Seeing several of these of these websites, well older than Mad Tea Party, supposedly losing either a thread or a post after few hours is simply not acceptable in this time and age.…
This is for you, folks. You guys just had to bombard me with emails. Like I had to hit reply so many times, I won’t forward the exchange which prompted the update. But I can give you a piece, covering on what happened, how it happened, and perhaps what we can learn from it. And…
Calling out on Galaxy Fold debacle as “graded on a curve” apparently was an understatement. It is time to face the ugly truth. Samsung already has a bad track record, and none of the reviewers had gull to question the product in their hand. These pre-launch reviews that had been published prior to the issue…
The legendary Plants vs. Zombies was a different game. It was the game which pioneered the path of mobile video games. But it was also a game that lacked some of the obvious features, such as cloud saves. It was very very 2009.
I was never a big fan of MCU’s style. Its gunning as hard as it can in comic book heroism behavior never grew on me. Just take Captain America: Civil War, the movie which sets off the events leading up to the Endgame. The villain’s plan made no sense. It had no “why” or “how”…
Remember the days before iOS? In 2010, Apple finally rebranded its iPhone OS to iOS, making it the first non-Mac OS Apple had released. The significance of the iPhone manufacturer’s rebranding comes not from its shoddy name, but rather its date: 2010. In 2010, smartphone phone factors started to see consolidations. Google was releasing its…
Arabesque has been shipped with macOS for quite awhile now, making it one of graphical default screensavers. What Apple seems to dismiss, however, is that they did not update their lines of screensavers since High Sierra.
Since High Sierra, Apple has introduced ‘universality’ to its set of media keys. All the absurdities aside, it means media keys are now open to work with any platform. So if you were planning to control iTunes or Spotify on the go, you may accidentally start playing a random video on a webpage instead.
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.
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…
What is gaming? I cannot answer that question, but I will know one when I see one. This ever-changing definition of a medium and subsequent genres it gave birth to make most critics hard to keep up with video games. Gaming, in its essence, has changed drastically from what it was 30 years ago and…
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…
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.
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.
