Sounds like he was getting pretty close to saying "foh-ku", just with the hyphen shifted one position.

MacOS 11 will be able to run iOS apps natively?

Say hello to recording Snapchat again, without triggering that warning to the sender.

The only thing that stops me from investing time into Automator is that it isn't cross-platform.

The Kensington Expert trackball, at 11 years old — the second "serious" peripheral I ever acquired, after the Logitech Trackman (which I only disliked because of the lack of scroll wheel, but which I also still have in perfect condition), has come back into service. Felt a little sticky but that turned out to be a misaligned bearing, which I popped back into place (after 5 minutes of thinking I'd lost it when I popped it out) and now it's like butter.

The Logitech gaming mice are awesome, but there is something wonderful about a good trackball.

CST's L-Trac is very smooth but the scroll wheel is poorly positioned and the angle, plus the ball not being as exposed as on the Expert, hurts my wrist a bit: a more exposed ball means I don't have to rotate my wrist entirely as though I wanted my palm flat on the desk.

Maybe I'll try an Orbit one day.

It would be lovely to have a "Work mode" integrated into iOS' DND, with a few options:

  • Define working hours.
  • Wholly disable SIM 2, designated email accounts, and even specific apps outside of said work hours.

Since France is pushing ahead with the digital tax, which calculates tax based on revenue generated from users in France as determined by IP address, will we see Facebook launch a VPN service in the next year?

Is it really? I've never dared try.

When I remember that the early classical artists (1920s and 1930s) recorded not in studios, but in hotel ballrooms with only plain old thick curtains and carpets for “sound treatment” and still achieved such decent audio quality, I wonder what has happened to our world that allows such poor quality given that good microphones and lossless recording have never been so accessible.
