i hope the volume control can be disabled (though i doubt this will be the case). i’ve never met a touch sensitive headphone volume control that wasn’t susceptible to accidental triggering. i have too many issues with my hearing to risk that.

tried, got stuck on guess 2. frustrating, not fun for me

thx!

i’ve used SwitchResX for years to create/use custom resolutions. though i don’t have an M1 mac (on order now). maybe that’s another way of achieving this?

How long until this surveillance attitude leads them to add permanent monitoring into all Apple products, like Notes, iMovie, Messages, etc? That’s one thing this move points to.

I wonder if FB ever offered or considered letting users link without previews (e.g., choose a word or words of their post to become the link text). It would defuse the way users scan headline/preview/image on the feed (instead of going to the publisher and reading the content). Not sure Australia would have accepted this but I believe it addresses some of their concerns.

This appears to only be required for inbound passengers. I wish it was also required for outbound. I not only want to prevent more COVID from coming into the country, but also want to increase the chances of my outbound flight being COVID free.

I use this all the time with Pocket (copy a URL somewhere, then switch to Pocket, where it asks if I want to bookmark the just copied URL).

and tomorrow’s yesterday

yale art talk?

Would be great to see an educational discount. I can see this being very useful in a teaching environment.

Still with the annoying and disruptive touch bar.

Every Macbook/Mac Pro should come with a free developer account that remains active as long as the purchaser of the machine is using the laptop. Doing so would further distinguish “pro” from non-pro machines, would make notarization less like an annual tax, and would thus encourage rather than discourage such malware-free certifications.

That said, I agree with the article’s author that devs should be free to distribute whatever they want without warnings and without having to update annually. Not every piece of software gets maintained but it can still be useful, especially for artistic works. Let the App Store be the place where Apple certifies safety and leave the rest to the user.

this is great, though I wish it had year-by-year lists too (instead of week-by-week)

This isn't composition. Mimicry, perhaps.
