  • Apple drops PostScript support in Preview for macOS Ventura

    This affects viewing man pages with Preview. Before you could output a man page as Postscript and pipe it into Preview. For example: "man -t ls | open -fa Preview", which is dramatically nicer than viewing them in Terminal.

    Dropping of Postscript support in Preview seems to have broken this.

    ----
    You can just add the pstopdf command to the pipeline to convert the ps to a pdf file that is then given to Preview.

    man -t ls | pstopdf -o ~/tmp.pdf | open -fa Preview ~/tmp.pdf 

    and define it in your .zshrc or .bashrc:

        pman() {
            man -t ${@} | pstopdf -o ~/tmp.pdf | open -fa Preview ~/tmp.pdf
        }

  • Apple Music rolls out to Tesla cars in holiday software update

    Great! Now get into the 21st century and support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This should never not exist on any car sold today as new. 
    I don't have CarPlay, which video streaming services does it support for when you are charging your EV?

    Does it's trip planning factor in your cars range, state-of-charge, navigate through superchargers, show how many chargers are available in real time, pre-condition the battery for faster charging, and tell you how long you'll need to charge before continuing on your trip?

    Apple Music support was overdue. I'm glad it has arrived and now I'll wait on Apple TV+ support. However, Teslas software is very well integrated and updated frequently. Better that Tesla controls the full stack just as Apple insists on doing with its own computers.
