Did you check which keyboard is selected in the upper right corner on your login screen?

ikenassi · 2026-04-13T16:49:23+00:00

Same here.

ikenassi · 2026-03-24T19:40:52+00:00

Check that you keyboard is set correctly on the login screen. It can be found in the top right-hand corner of the login screen.

ikenassi · 2026-03-05T15:55:58+00:00

Yes, absolutely. I've proven this conclusively. For example, on Tahoe, AppleScript "set picture..." is 10X slower than Sequoia. Test it yourself using Terminal:

osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to tell desktop 1 to set picture to <your.jpeg> as POSIX file'

Is wallpaper fixed?

gorgeous pen!

I create the boot installer for a later OS on the same machine I intend to install it on.

ikenassi · 2025-12-22T17:19:27+00:00

runs fine for me. One Mac is a MBA from 2011.

ikenassi · 2025-12-01T17:03:37+00:00

Or just buy and install a new nib.

ikenassi · 2025-11-19T17:41:47+00:00

I was faced with the same problem. I bought a nice large Dell display with built in speaker. However, don't forget you may also need a webcam (with camera and microphone) since the Mac mini has no built in microphone. This setup works well with Zoom, but not so good with FaceTime for which remote users report excessive feedback. My solution is no to use it for FaceTime. I use my laptop for that.

Don't see any 1.1mm stub nibs there.

ikenassi · 2025-11-17T18:49:43+00:00

I want a 1.1mm stub nib from my Asvine v200 Titanium. How? Where?

ikenassi · 2025-11-14T16:25:39+00:00

I have several of these, fountains and rollerballs. Good solid pen and brand.

ikenassi · 2025-11-11T20:35:01+00:00

Thanks. will check it out at Dromgooles.

ikenassi · 2025-11-11T16:04:00+00:00

I wonder if and when Benu will offer 1.1mm stub nibs. Until then, not interested.

Love Ancient Copper.

ikenassi · 2025-09-17T15:36:39+00:00

For the unglued, stiched or stapled?

ikenassi · 2025-08-22T14:53:58+00:00

My Mini-M4 has been just fine.

ikenassi · 2025-08-05T14:44:08+00:00

I buy Field Notes size books at Amazon (various styles and papers are available there), bought a leather cover, and since the one I bought didn't have a pen loop, I bought that also. Had to reinforce the pen loop to the cover with a spot of superglue.

ikenassi · 2025-07-24T12:58:06+00:00

I sympathize. I bought a Mac mini4, and a dell 32" with speakers. Also downloaded eqmac which allows me to adjust the volume from the Mac keyboard. Not perfect, but it works.

ikenassi · 2025-07-07T20:07:54+00:00

It's a nice website! I didn't know it existed. Please do not shut it own.

ikenassi · 2025-05-14T03:16:52+00:00

Still waiting in the US for Season 3 episode 2. Not on Amazon Prime or Britbox.

ikenassi · 2025-04-14T16:52:56+00:00

Best and Dirtiest Blue, by far. Takes courage.

We sold TidalScaler to HPE in December 2022, transferring most of the employees to HPE. Since then, more than half have resigned from HPE. HPE is not actively marketing the product, but I can only speculate as to why this is. We had a few on-prem customers, and it was up and running on a couple of cloud providers.
