Does anyone know if anyone else makes/sells curved transparent “covers” for flat LCDs so that they can be fitted to CRT cases? I have bunch of classic #Mac s where analog board is beyond repair and two have broken tube. I can easily design so-so replacement to power logic board but with my education and will to live would not touch #CRT stuff with 40cm isolated rod. #retrocomputing

Hiya! I'm an over-the-road #trucker, originally from the #Midwest. I'm gay as fuck, (still) single as fuck. When I'm not criss-crossing the country, I like to explore #technology (I'm a #Mac, but also #Ubuntu,) eat lots of comfort food, take in a #baseball or #hockey game, and other random things including visiting #Canada often. I'm a bit reserved and #introverted, and like to enjoy things at my own pace. I'm trying. I sometimes pretend I'm a #coyote. #introduction

Being a lifelong #Windows / #Linux user, I'm trying to keep an open mind with the new #Mac, but this is really hurting my brain.

You use Cmd / Option instead of Ctrl / Alt, which is a well-known pain point and I'm trying to work with it, but it's so much worse than just learning new hotkeys.

Most Ctrl operations on Windows are Cmd operations on Mac, but that's not universal. Ctrl+Arrows on Windows moves words, but it's Option+Arrows on Mac, not Cmd+Arrows.

You can't just think of this as "Mentally swap Ctrl and Cmd".

I'm using an external keyboard with Ctrl, Win (Super), and Alt keys. But none of those exist on Mac. Ctrl means a completely different thing, Super seems to be Cmd, and Alt is Option?

Cmd+C / Cmd+V for copy paste feels reasonable, but that's not what I'm typing. I'm effectively typing Super+C / Super+V and just confusing my muscle memory even more when I need to use the embedded keyboard rather than my external one.

Maybe I need to internalize Super = Cmd?

Is there an iPad or Mac video editing app that can organize and tag my library of videos and clips? Editing features don't need to be too complex, but library management is a must.

I'd rather not do this in Finder. Too basic and inflexible for what I want. Paid is fine.

Let's pretend for a second that #Linux and #Mac don't exist.

Why the hell are so many people using #Windows 11 on personal computers (personal use)? Even people that absolutely despise AI continue to use it. A little critical thinking would cause one to question why.

Windows 10 support may be "officially" dead, but anyone who can Google would learn of #TSForge, which gives you years of #ESU, and therefore, no reason to use Windows 11 in place of Windows 10.

I have managed to get Windows 10 operating on the latest hardware, including my Strix Halo tablet. I even got the WiFi 7 driver to install.

My PC (or any Linux or Mac in general) is faster than yours, if you're running Windows 11. I can pretty much say that no matter what hardware you have. /r

Building a macOS app to know when my Mac is thermal throttling

I did a lot of work today, some quite frustrating, getting widgets all working across Mac, iPhone and iPad. Still some tweaks needed, but the new app is almost done, functionality wise 🤔

🪨 HyperCard on the Macintosh 🛠️

The "software erector set" that launched careers and an entire industry, and came tantalizingly close to delivering us the world wide web 6 years early. Our last post of 2025 takes a deep look at this important title. I also muse a bit on the approach HyperCard takes in extending the definition of what it means to develop software. Happy holidays!

Okay this is wild. So there was this third-party screen reader for the Mac called Vosh. It's recently been picked up by some one who has had enough of Apple's neglect of the Mac and canned responses. And I understand that. But also I kinda want to ask why not Linux, but I understand that as well, that everything else they like about the Mac except the screen reader.

#WritersCoffeeClub 1/12 From where did the inspiration for your current WIP come? (2/2)

My other WIP came from a post someone wrote about how so many fantasy titles take the form of A Something of X and Y, like the phrase a bowl of mac and cheese.
It instantly made me think of an urban fantasy tale about someone who fights demons in between shifts in their Glasgow chip shop. We fucking LOVE mac and cheese in Scotland, it is a chippy staple!

Est-ce que quelqu'un saurait comment activer le rétro-éclairage du clavier d'un macbook pro 2008 sous Debian ?

C'est pour mon vieux papa qui voit plus rien.

J'ai tenté plusieurs trucs sans succès...

Are you a Mac user and a grammar fan? Here's a tip for typing your favorite dashes. No mouse required!

The en dash – can be typed easily by using Option+- (That’s hold the Option key while typing the dash).

The em dash — can be typed easily by using Option+Shift+- (That’s hold the Option and Shift keys while typing the dash).
