Karabiner setup has gotten longer than I expected, so here’s a separate post dedicated for Karabiner-Elements.
I Bought Second Anova, and I Shouldn’t Have
Sous vide is an amazing panacea for broken home cooking. You can practically cook everything, including peas and carrots of a dish wish sous vide. Not that I would recommend it, of course.
Karabiner PID Failure Fix
This is not exactly a common issue, but it is an issue that was once mentioned on the GitHub, including myself. Obviously the point of this post is to address any remaining issues. When you launch Karabiner for the first time and the app crash with an error report suggesting failure in creating PID directory, this is the fix you are looking for.
Compress Multiple Files Separately at Once on Mac
Finding the right compression tools on Mac can be challenging. Most of them require an expensive license, which somehow has gulls to ask for annual subscription and/or upgrade. When it comes to included Archive Utility, it only gets the job half done.
eBay Sniping Can’t Work, Because Reasons
Apparently there is something called “sniping” in eBay, now taken as a community norm. Does it work? In its essence, yes. Does it work on theoretical level? Not really. Let me lay it out bits by bits.
An Argument For Wireless Audio in iPhone 7
Newest turmoil around iPhone is now the lack of 3.5mm headphone jack. Apple, at least Phil Schiller believes it is “courage” to remove headphone jack to move toward wireless future. Several arguments had been made against it, and here are some of them that hold up to criticism.
Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst Review
The original Mirror’s Edge was about the environment. There was little to no plot, no character development, but you were given rich opportunities to literally run through the city whatever way imaginable. Your main weapon has always been your two feet, and the game did not strip the other options to rally the mission, promising more open-ended solution to the parkour puzzles. The game may have been raw, but it was promising piece of meat.
How to Bloodborne: Defiled Chalice Amygdala for Noobs
If you can’t kill it with fire, kill it with bolt. This sums up the idea behind Bloodborne. That being said, if you can’t kill it with melee then choose long-ranged. For this video, I chose Simon’s Bowblade.
“Colonial Boomerang” Can’t be Worse Choice of Word
ORIGINALLY ON NYT, SEOUL’S COLONIAL BOOMERANG The issue of comfort women is devastating. Let’s leave it there. Because there hasn’t been a single article that dealt the issue with a proper perspective it deserves. It was Americans who decided to give Japan a slack in American military court, not Asians nor Europeans, both the victims of “Comfort Women” system. It was Americans who decided give peace to a country full of statutory-rapists or a.k.a. Johns.
How to Hide Time Machine HDD from Desktop
I don’t recommend using Time Capsule for 2 reasons: price and wireless. The price tag is unjustifiable for a router, despite its praised stability. Now with the hint of Apple may be dropping the router line of its entirety, stability is not longer an accountable virtue. At any rate, it is the wireless backup drive which I would focus on, and I find the very idea hilarious. We are talking about creating a backup at least upward of 1TB with the expectancy of continuous increment. This backup, or as in Mac ecosystem, Time Machine, is supposed to be a life…
PS4 Backup “Not Enough Space” Error Solution
Let us all agree on the fact that Sony sucks at doing anything software-related right. Just compare it to its competitions, Xbox, for example. Microsoft is too big of a hurdle? No more excuses.
Mac Can’t Boot With External HDD Attached
It’s sort of official. I just got off from a phone call with Apple Support, and apparently the solution to “can’t boot with external HDD attached” is, removing the HDDs during the startup. Are we talking about PCs from 90s?
Experiencing Problem with Language Setting on VM Windows?
Running virtual machines on Mac invite more problems then a user would ask for. But if there is unintended consequences Parallels team could have foreseen is the locale settings on each OS. I, for one, run at least 2-3 OS at the same time: Mac as a main, Windows for Korean-exclusive workstation, and Ubuntu for minor languages Linux community is somehow fond of.
Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard on Mac
I wrote a simple —but ridiculously long— review on Amazon on using MS sculpt keyboard on Mac. Again, it works, but not as it was promised by bloggers or tech-journalists who had written pre-release reviews. It won’t work, because the keyboard is specifically designed and assigned for Windows 8 exclusive features, and Microsoft has no plan to release Mac drivers. Now I would argue those aren’t even features in the first place.
3DTV Is Announced Dead
We’ve been waiting for it. When will 3D finally be a new standard? Guess what, never. Gizmodo just ran an article based on CES 2015, and apparently the next big thing will be Smart TV, not 3D. Nobody wants a half-baked computer, so I’d say in a couple of years, Smart TV will be announced dead as well.
