I began to type at around 13. It was on Mom’s IBM Selectric, which shook the house with each strike of its mighty lead-like font ball. The faster I typed, the more satisfying its sound (equally satisfying was breaking out the Liquid Paper on spellin…

RIP AirPort Time Capsule. While time machine backups were slow as hell, I was really happy with the APTC because 'it just worked', as in reliable Wi-Fi and time machine backups. I got friends/family to adopt APx/APTC in their homes as it made my l…

Just an FYI that High Sierra changed the API an installer uses to insert itself as a login item. For example Trend Micro AV and Cisco AnyConnect VPN installers could no longer insert themselves during install. Trend fixed this using the new API with…

Car manufacturers, and Apple, might be purposely withholding whether a CarPlay system is wired, wireless, touchscreen, or knob/button. A bit frustrating for comparison shopping, and so consistent that it feels intentional. If there’s a published li…

When asked by friends, family, or colleagues "should I buy the latest iPhone/iPad or last year's?", based on my experience I generally advise to buy the current one if you expect no less than 3 years of 'delightful' experience from it, last year's i…

Question... after the patch to close the vulnerability is applied, and going forward... should the steps, in https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204012, to change the root user's password always be followed each time you setup a new Mac - like as a be…

Great tips! The Series 3 is moving in the evolutionary direction. For me, this first cellular model isn't there yet, and I look forward to battery life refinements in a future model, as well as LTE coverage improvements by the cell carriers. I g…

Good tip! Using the 'Mac' method, you can also re-order your networks, placing the preferred ones on top. I've had to do that to help prevent my Mac, when at work, from choosing a public SSID over my work's private LAN SSID. It so happens this pu…

Appreciate the PSA. The Belkin Thunderbolt 3 dock was recently reviewed. It comes with a TB cable that's 3.3' long, but it's not specified if this cable achieves the 40Gbps performance advertised on the box. What is that included cable's speed, p…

Just wrapped up 5 days in Tokyo and tried Apple Maps but had to switch back to Google Maps... again. I want to love Apple Maps and try it wherever I travel, and in some cases it works well. I definitely like how it integrates with my watch. But w…
