Xed said: Now that it's a feature it feels weird that colored folders weren't a feature all these years and decades. It was a feature, going back to the first color monitors (the Mac II era). It was removed and changed to colored dots when …

Does the overlay icon have to be from Apple's list (symbols and emoji) or can it be any arbitrary image? For instance, if I want my Games folder to have an image of Blinky, can I make an image and apply it as an overlay to the folder's icon? Or will…

It's never been that complicated. Any sub-30s audio file encoded as AAC can be used. Just rename the file to have an ".m4r" extension and drag/drop it onto the phone (via the Finder on modern versions of macOS, via iTunes for older ones). That's …

It's illegal for me to draw pictures of copyrighted characters and sell the results. And I have a legal right to view all of the source material (assuming I've bought or rented the movies). An AI which is not just viewing content but incorporating …

Why in the world is AI needed for this. Algorithmic playlist generation, like the Music Genome Project (used by Pandora) work great. No need for massive neural nets and AI software. Apple deliberately refused to use these algorithms in the past, c…

Of course, if you're trying to fabricate a replacement part to fit into an existing vintage Mac, it may be more difficult, because the old plastic will have yellowed with age and UV exposure. Retro-brighting it will help somewhat, but it really won…

maltz said:If the emulator works with a dd image file of the disk, that would be pretty trivial to create on a Mac with a USB 3.5" floppy drive. Yes, but if your app needs you to frequently swap disks, or if you're going through an old file-box…

A USB 3.5" floppy drive will work with a modern Mac. For reading PC floppies. Unfortunately, all Mac floppies were formatted in the HFS file system, which Apple no longer supports in macOS, so you'll have to use third-party software to copy files f…

Sounds like a perfect use for blockchain technology. Migrate the CVE database to a blockchain and encourage multiple entities (tech companies, cloud providers and security-focused non-profits in addition to government agencies) to host mirrors. The…

A few things: 1. You write that "most third-party clone software also won't work. Or at least they won't work when trying to create a bootable clone of a macOS system volume." That is very misleading. The two most popular disk-clone tools (Super…

I addition to use on web sites, SVG are great for embedding in documents that will later be printed or exported to PDF - like word processing documents. This will allow the graphics to look great when the document is zoomed or when it is printed at…

Whoa! I just read this incredible bit of great news: https://www.ifixit.com/News/104302/all-hail-the-return-of-upgradeable-storage-mac-mini-2024-teardown The new 2024 Mac mini still has soldered-in RAM, as is the new norm with the Unified Memory …
