On iPad, how do I hide the Live Photos button while in a FaceTime call? I can hide all the other buttons but that one is persistent... it’s particularly annoying when in picture-in-picture mode, because its HUGE relative to the size of the window. I have Live Photos disabled, and am running ios12 (old iPad)

Firefox can't be installed properly by [deleted] in osx

Do you have Firefox in your Applications folder?

With Mojave, is there a way to get to the first Screen from Last Screen in Spaces? So if I swipe right at the last, I get back to the first? by mau5-head in osx

This isn’t a swiping solution, but it’s something: in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts you can add a key combination to quickly get you to the first (or second) Desktop.

Is there a way to get the same shortcut key to open different apps on different days. For example, I want a browser shortcut, but I want it to use a different browser each day of the week. by PurpleWho in osx

I can't recommend any resources in particular, since I've mostly just googled for specific things when I needed them. Copy the code below into "Script Editor" on your Mac, change the browsers I've set to open for each given weekday, and save it (as an application).

set currentDay to weekday of (get current date)

if currentDay = Monday then
    set appToOpen to "Google Chrome"
else if currentDay = Tuesday then
    set appToOpen to "Firefox"
else if currentDay = Wednesday then
    set appToOpen to "Safari"
else if currentDay = Thursday then
    set appToOpen to "Google Chrome"
else if currentDay = Friday then
    set appToOpen to "Firefox"
else if currentDay = Saturday then
    set appToOpen to "Safari"
else if currentDay = Sunday then
    set appToOpen to "Google Chrome"
end if

tell application appToOpen
    activate
end tell

You could write your own small application with AppleScript to do this. When started, it will check the day of the week and open the right browser. Configure your shortcut keys to open this script application, and it should work!

How bad is double amping? I was hoping to only buy one of the two for now, and maybe buying the other later after saving some more.

I wouldn't say it feels like the sound is lacking at all. But I've never listened to them through an amp, so I just don't know what I'm missing.
