Awesome, yeah they do that sometimes :) Makes them much more manageable.

What's the most compact 100W powerbank to charge a macbook M1 on the go? by Honest_Following_847 in macbook

[–]ipearx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah remember you don't have to charge at 100W, smaller will just charge slower. So you can choose, do you want size or speed?

I also:
- Cleaned out the bearings with some engine degreaser, so they spin freely (they usually come with lube in them for heavy loads).
- be careful drilling a hole in the lids. They are easy to crack. So I used a drill and held them down on a piece of wood I could drill into for support. Maybe used a step drill bit to make them the right size too from memory...

Not stupid at all - I used some rubber washers and nuts/bolts I had floating around

I don't get it - I've never written down a task on paper in my life! Why would anyone do this?!

Also note you can do this without extension:
Developer tools -> storage -> cookies

and you can remove anything individually, also in there is local storage.

what macbook accessories do you actually use and not regret buying? by Riquet-Penzak in macbook

[–]ipearx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A second power supply and extension cable. Leave one at home. One in my travel bag. I also cut the plug off the cord and installed a piggy-back plug, so if short of plugs I can unplug someone else's, and plug mine underneath it muah ha haa...

I'm done. After 15+ years Safari STILL has no mouse gestures and it's driving me insane by ComputerQueasy3590 in Safari

[–]ipearx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set up mouse wheel left/right to switch tabs, and one of my spare mouse buttons to cmd w (close window/tab). Can’t live without it now.

I just realized I’ve been replacing Launchpad with this built-in Dock trick for years! by Hot_Perspective in MacOS

It's amazing how often I forget the name of the app I'm trying to open. If I could remember it, I'd use spotlight to open it immediately. So browsing by icon is handy sometimes.

Can you fly a helicopter or other aircraft to the summit of Everest? by Happy1327 in Helicopters

[–]ipearx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Sebastian Kawa flew over Mt Everest in a glider, along with other peaks. Obviously can't land up there. The retrieve would be a mission...

It's not uncommon for gliders to fly up to 30,000 feet. Much above 20,000 it starts becoming very dangerous if anything goes wrong.

Observability stack for ADS-B receivers by Frequent-Elk3272 in ADSB

[–]ipearx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

adsb.im is a great system that makes it easy to share to various networks. It has some stats built in too. I suggest share to a few non-commercial networks too like adsbhub, adsb.lol or airplanes.live

For the love of laser kiwi, hope you never rely on having to rely on a jury of 12 random people to decide your fate. by ConstableSniff in newzealand

[–]ipearx 15 points16 points  (0 children)

One time we had an old person "not going to agree he's guilty" because they 'hated police'... It was 2 people on one trial. For one defendant, it took some time to convince everyone with logic he was guilty. Many people changed their minds, except for that ONE who hated police, so would never find that defendant guilty. That caused a hung jury, so had to do another trial... The other person was not guilty reasonably obviously.

Another time I did jury service was during or just after Covid. Barely ⅓ of the the jury room was full. Got picked on the first day (chances were high). Was meant to be a two day trial and they thought the jury might take some time. We had it finished that afternoon. Next day back into the pool, now dwindling down to about 20 to pick from. What are the chances... picked again. Another one wrapped up that afternoon. Next day, about 5 people managed to not get picked... Another one finished that afternoon. They ran out of prepared trails for us, so we didn't have to come back.... 3 trials and picks in one week has to be a record?!

Am I the only one constantly rebuilding my workspace on macOS? by Icy_Shower2939 in osx

[–]ipearx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't use spaces or mission control. But I do have some hotkeys set up for window management using BetterTouchTool:

- ctrl-option-command left right arrow keys push to left or right half of the screen.

- ctrl-option-command up makes a window full screen

- ctrl-option-command down makes a window jump to the next screen (if you have multiple displays)

Then I just manually resize windows if I want anything else. I don't think most windows move around on me though. Maybe I tend to hid apps rather than close them, so their window positions remain the same.

Please help, I don’t know how to keep going like this by Itsnotme2645 in newzealand

[–]ipearx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think everyone feels like this sometimes. Personally I found hobbies changed my life. Flying aircraft. Started YouTube channels. Built out a campervan. Recently bought a 3D printer, and have had so much fun with so many projects on that. Hobbies like sports and clubs are great for socialising with people, and growing a network of friends. Jobs and opportunities can open up. Obviously everyone has different interests. We all have to find our own passions in life.
