It's a 6 MB application. Any reason you want it gone? Have you had some traumatic Chess-related experiences that you need to talk about, or is this because you don't want employees playing Chess?

Downloading for me now. 15 minutes to go. I'll edit if it actually starts installing. Edit: About to install. Wish me luck. Seems ok in Australia now.

For those who can download it ...congrats! I think their issues are exacerbated by their Software Update software, which seems to operate on weak web-based services that are extremely susceptible to failing. It works well in ideal conditions such …

Does anyone honestly think that the young doctor whistleblower really died from his coronovirus, or is that just the party line? Pretty much all deaths have been the vulnerable: elderly and those with existing or immune-compromising conditions. He…

It looks like a $10 band with fake pearls you’d find at the Chinese market.

I still love my Bowers & Wilkins MM-1s, even though they’ve been long discontinued. They have such a nice sound for their size, which is very diminutive.

The new Mac Pro was an important move for Apple. Hopefully it hasn’t come too late. It still baffles me why they never bothered to update the previous Mac Pro to Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C, which a form-factor like that desperately needed, considerin…

I wasn’t the least bit interested in this “event” (presentation) and I’m even less interested in this 2,000+ word counter-rant about it. I can’t even watch the presentations with new hardware anymore because of Tim Cook. I’m just not interested in…

It’s shameful that the West doesn’t support Taiwan’s admission to the UN. They’re a country in every way except UN member status. PRC has no authority or power in Taiwan.

Are we to eschew the regular feedback channels and go straight to the top? I often submit feedback to Apple.com/feedback but it’s like a black hole. No response, no action.

A lot of conjecture here. These devices are now very sturdy and unlikely to bend sufficiently to break the battery even if sat on with skinny jeans. For a start that would be too uncomfortable. Also, if I was injured by an exploding phone I’d wan…

The Find command in Terminal is very powerful and well worth reading up on. Power users will get everything they need done with some deft use of Find and Ls. For example, if I want to find and list all files on the local drive that match a non-cas…
