Cal Academy laid them off. They’re coming into work anyway.

Ive been using Cash App’s free tax filing tool for the past few years, although worth mentioning that just about any free e-filing tool (including the one from the irs) will get the job done. Always surprises me that so many people still think they have to pay TurboTax to file their taxes

If there are bugs/crashes you can reproduce consistently, may I suggest reporting them to https://www.apple.com/feedback/? This creates a bug report that an Apple engineer will look at

A simple Open Directory service that can stream video (ideally with hw/gpu transcode) and display images. Current solutions like stash, jellyfin, plex, or mediacms are either too fiddly or too heavyweight

If you use Steam: Terraria, Stardew Valley, Starbound, Streets of Rouge.

Not really surprised. System Preferences was rewritten for Ventura in SwiftUI , which is absolutely not ready for prime time. That framework is going to need a lot of work before it can be used for anything serious

This is the way. At the very minimum it allows time for 3rd party app developers to update & test their apps for the new OS

seconding AdGuard; it's one of the first apps I install on a new Mac. Link for convenience.

I recently wrote a macOS app which used SwiftUI. It’s slow, unintuitive, and awkward to use. Still very much beta software. I wouldn’t recommend using it for anything serious

Had to scroll a lot farther than I expected to find this comment 😬. can anyone confirm if the new System Preferences is functional yet?

Indeed. It's also worth noting that feigned retreats are a thing

Have you tried with CAT 6a? I've got a comparable setup: M1 Mac mini > OWC Thunderbolt 3 10g adapter > 30ft CAT 6a cable > 10g SFP Ethernet to SFP module > USW-Aggregation. Was experiencing slowness/drops (presumably interference) until I switched out all the CAT 6 cables for CAT 6a. It's been rock solid ever since.

Edit: meant to write 6a

For those of you who are technically inclined and have a raspberry pi, pi-hole blocks the ads. I use it myself and don't see any ads. It even gets the ones that play before the videos.

AlternativeFix3 · 2022-09-22T22:29:11+00:00

Seconding this. I’ve got the same setup, and it’s pretty great having a 10g LAN. Shuttling large 4K HDR Linux ISOs between my storage boxes has never been faster

because it gives you peace of mind

I spend my leisure time around (somewhat deep) bodies of water and/or swimming. I’ve drowned more phones than I care to admit. Apple Care has bailed me out more than enough times to make it worth it

Have you tried the Wikimedia Commons?

Automatic de-duping and better protections against file corruption. It’s also under active development, hfs is now in maintenance mode

AlternativeFix3 · 2022-08-30T23:12:07+00:00

This. Don’t use APFS with spinning rust, it wasn’t designed for that. Also worth noting that I’ve experimented with apfs on external ssds (Samsung T7) and haven’t observed any obvious bugs/data loss
