"Old Data Never Dies"âOr maybe it does! Some companies are actually cleaning up their accounts. So maybe people are catching on to the fakeness of it all?? Blockchain might be a way that people could "own" eBooks and have all the options of selling, shari

Maree describes being given flowers by Harrison Pawluk in a ârandom act of kindnessâ video as âpatronisingâ â Read on www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/jul/14/melbourne-woman-dehumanised-by-viral-tiktok-filmed-without-her-consent I agree with her. Itâs âpatronisingâ because Pawluk presumptuously assumesâwithout having an actual conversation with the womanâthat he is somehow âin a better placeââŠ

Hey Tim. Here's a "Portrait" icon. See? It's taller.
What if one day Captain Aubrey decided that Port would be Starboard from now on? There'd be mutiny!!
There be gremlins? A ghost in the big giant Apple machine? An Easter Egg? Or somebodyâs idea of a joke? Because a couple of important icons have gotten switched!! And âiconsâ, little pictures that we rely on to represent certain very specific things, are important! You canât just go switching them around! Youâll defeat their purpose. Youâll make them unreliable. I mean, what if somebody changedâŠ

Hipsters, audiophiles, and young people like vinyl, but why?
Is it the sound? Iâm not against vinyl, Iâm just against dumb reasons for justifying its use.
A friend has been raving about Spotify (or other streaming music services) for several years. Itâs hugely convenient, you have access to TONS of music whenever you want, and the quality is âdigitalâ. Canât argue the first two points, but as for the âqualityââat least when I had Sirius some years agoâI was frequently annoyed with the âflangingâ distortion in streamed music. Same with Pandora,âŠ

CLI: Command Line InterfaceâHow people controlled computers PM (Prior to Mac). THERE WAS NO MOUSE. A âpromptâ â that is, a colon, or carat, or some other obscure character from your (physical) keyboard â appeared on the screen. This was equivalent to your dog looking up at you with THAT LOOK.

So-Called âCreatorsâ vs. #GoodTech
âCreatorsâ No, sorry...youâre not all going to get paid $125 million a year like Slappy Dingdong.
Sheesh. âCreatorsâ. Not to be confused with âCreativesâ, those UX Designers, Graphic Artists, and other creative people for whom I have a great deal of respect. No, âCreatorsââoften called âInfluencersââfrequently celebrities, but also the kids who make some brain dead cat video or self-absorbed âHey guys!â, eye shadow review, and thousands of other kids watch it, and brands offer them big bucksâŠ

Since Covid, QR Codes have become popular, especially as a âno-touchâ tool to view a restaurant menu using a cell phone. Sometimes you can even order and pay using your cell phone. Although this New York Times article doesnât outright suggest that using QR codes is risky or dangerous or a threat to your online privacy, it doesnât do much to explain how a QR Code works, leading many readers toâŠ

Back From the DeadâBut not using a bootable driveâŠ
My Mac Backup Strategy, was: 1. Backup to Time Machine regularly to have access to that data 2. Backup regularly to a fast âbootableâ external drive âcloneâ using a nifty 3rd party tool such as SuperDuper. Having an external bootable backup meant that if your internal drive(s) failed, you could quickly fire up a workable system and continue working, until you restore it all to a replacementâŠ

...iTunesâthe baffling compost pile of all Apple mediaâfifteen years ago, was a gem!
Still Waiting for the music alarm⊠October, 2016, iTunesversion 12.5.2 released. By most accounts iTunes is still a mess, as Apple tries to clean up the application that has for years devolved into the baffling, unmanageable compost pile of all Apple media. But fifteen years ago, iTunes was a gem, a minimal Apple interface quickly slapped on top of a great third party app called âSoundJamââŠ

Life was so much simpler then. Or was it? Not for the Star Trek Population of three or four quadrants. At the time, I had a friend in the US Foreign Service posted in some obscure country who wasnât getting to see anyof the new shows. There was NO video on the incipient Internet of course.
