Wow. There’s no contest anymore: SNW is undoubtedly the best new Trek. This season has been fantastic. Somehow they’ve just outdone last week’s crossover. And they just did war ‘better’ than DS9.

Saving you a click – the article is just empty waffle around this Gurman tweet: "I would guess that the Zeiss prescription lenses for the Vision Pro will be at least $300-600 a pair, unless Apple is eating part of the cost given the already high price of the headset itself."

Another advantage of Memmy is that its icon isn’t a cartoon koala ahegao face.

Such a disingenuous headline. The article outlines how pre-2012 Mac can’t support Metal, which breaks a bunch of stuff.

An aside: A few years ago, I used OCLP to install Monterey on my old (Early 2013) MacBook Pro 13”. It was fine, until one day it just stopped booting. It wasn’t hardware: Wiped it, reinstalled Catalina, still worked fine. It’s a fun toy to play with, but I wouldn’t want to be depending on it for anything important.

TestFlight is for testing the app, not getting the paid features for free.

Universe definitely came along first

Good question. I will always and forever downvote random links to YouTube videos!

Labor want to gamble some money on the stock market and call it money for housing. The Greens want to actually spend that money on housing.

How to replace the battery in your AirTag

CR2032 batteries with bitterant coatings might not work with AirTag or other battery-powered products, depending on the alignment of the coating in relation to the battery contacts.

It’s not a feature, but it’s by design.

No crying required, you can use something like NextDNS for DNS level ad blocking on iOS, and there are plenty of Safari extensions to help with this stuff.

I use 1Blocker for ads, Hush to block cookie notices, and Unobstruct to remove persistent overlays as needed. While we're at it, Noir adds dark mode support to every webpage, StopTheMadness prevents websites doing hostile things (such as preventing copy and paste), and PiPifier makes every web video support picture in picture mode.

Cool, but that doesn’t help with adblockers for Safari.

Also, never going to trust a browser made by a homophobic Covid denier.

OK. Yes. I don’t mean to say its take on war is better than the entirety of DS9, but as a single episode (with the benefit of modern effects tech) it sure dived straight into the horror of it all! Then landed at a dark place with a conclusion that really isn’t justice.

Australia went through a similar thing. Facebook got what they wanted after a few days.

A Mac is never going to be the greatest gaming machine, but an M-series MacBook is still preferable to an Intel one. For instance, Civ VI via Rosetta runs better on my M1 MacBook Pro than it did on my previous i7.

Marco has put so much work into the Overcast watchOS app, yet it’s still flakey at times. I don’t think there’s anyone else that can be bothered dealing with all the hassle!
