I can’t code myself out of a paper bag, but I know the value of the skill of #programming and of #opensource, so good on #Apple for open sourcing #Swift Build. Now can you open source Mac OS Classic? Tim?… TIM?! #tech #news 9to5mac.com/2025/02/0…

If you don’t like the power coming on when you open the lid on your #MacBookPro #Apple has explained how to disable it. It takes a bit of work in the Terminal.app, but anyone should be able to do it if they follow the instructions. #tech #howto www.macworld.com/article/2…

Yet another reason to abandon #Microsoft… The lunatics in Redmond are adding a $400 premium to Intel-powered #Surface devices that have the exact same specs are their #ARM-powered counterparts. Silly #Capitalism. #SwitchToLinux or get a #Mac. it.slashdot.org/story/25/…

So, I’ve essentially stopped using #Windows. I have one Windows 10 machine I use to play #MarvelRivals, but that will soon change. I use #Mac and #Linux for everything else. Rather than explain why, I’ll let @EposVox@glitch.lgbt take the lead. #tech www.youtube.com/watch

Wow! Yet another in the stupendously accurate predictions #ElonMusk is legendary for! I’m sure it couldn’t have anything to do with the precipitous drop in #Tesla’s stock value. No, that would be silly, silly head. #tech #capitalism #toesInTheWater www.theverge.com/news/6027…

The one thing that repeated #security breaches clearly indicates is that none of these corporations really know WTF they’re doing. Either that or they don’t care. I’m 50/50 on which. I can’t be the only one getting really sick of this crap. #tech #capitalism #cars yro.slashdot.org/story/25/…

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: If #Slack asks if you want to “…include the entire chat history?” CLICK NO. There apparently is a glitch in the system, and the result could be catastrophic, as #Wired’s #AndrewCouts found out, as he says, the hard way. #tech #PSA #software www.wired.com/story/sla…

Well, I’m not sure how much of a procedure this actually is. I generally prefer more conclusive steps, like… oh, I don’t know, having an Update Firmware button in the settings? #Apple #airpods #tech #howto 9to5mac.com/2025/01/2…

In the continuing saga of All The Reasons I Hate #Meta #US and #Canadian #Facebook and #Instagram users #Fuckerberg’s #AI Chatbot will take your user data and there’s nothing you can do to stop it… unless you #UninstallMeta. What’re you waiting for? #socialnetworking #capitalism tech.slashdot.org/story/25/…

I’m so up for this. #Apple DOES need to update their paid storage tiers, but not for the suggested tiers of the column. We have Apple One Family for up to 5 with a meager 200GBs for $26 a month. The storage should be bumped up to 500 or 750GB. #icloudplus #internet 9to5mac.com/2025/01/2…
