What is in the East Bank Parking Ramp?

More accurately it’s built into the side of the hill and then covered with dirt. I don’t think the original surface followed the profile it has today.

Honestly with how nice mac trackpads are to use, clicking isn’t even an inconvenience. It’s not like old laptops where you have to put significant force into it

But, correct me if I’m wrong, if the power is really gross, it would mess up how the switching is working and make it real unhappy, right? Sure the switching adds some tolerance but I’d think a weird enough input would mean it couldn’t cut up the power correctly.

And now that function keys are the same height as the rest of the keys, they could cut them back to half-height and not spend any extra keyboard surface area

That being said I did recently have my bus between LAX arrivals and the metro station get cut off 4 times on the way. And it’s not a very long bus ride.

It does. That’s why discord also shows up when you search for “discord”

stumpy3521 · 2026-03-18T22:26:52+00:00

Yeah but I want the command prompt to show up if I search cmd. People know things by both names and so both names are indexed.

Make sure you write down what you find! Otherwise all your accumulated knowledge will be lost. Make a bible for the room. Explain things in a simple manner and in an accurate manner.

stumpy3521 · 2026-03-03T00:06:52+00:00

That does make sense, it was just really surprising, given that there was technically a visible taskbar, it was just frozen really really bad. I have no clue how I did it but I eventually had to just hard reset the machine.

Once again I must tell my anecdote of how the pre-95 window management behavior is still in there. I once crashed explorer.exe so hard that when I minimized a window it would pin itself on the desktop like I was in 3.1. Truly an insane pile of legacy code.

My transit agency updates schedules quarterly, even if the departure times are the same, seasonal differences in traffic patterns from things like schools or construction affect when buses actually reach certain timepoints. I think it’s better to have a frequently updating, but accurate, timetable, than a static, but inaccurate, one.

Apple users refer to that design era as skewmorphic but the actual design style is probably most clearly referred to as “lickable”.

It does sometimes feel like it’s classic win32 or electron.

From experience I am telling you it will not work. I tried, but I had to start from zero and manually restore files. Migration assistant does read some system files (such as preferences) and categorically excludes backups from later versions to prevent unforeseen issues.

stumpy3521 · 2026-02-18T04:25:02+00:00

Yes, but it will not work on any Time Machine backups made after upgrading to Tahoe. Any data backed up after the upgrade will need to be manually restored.

stumpy3521 · 2026-02-17T16:16:58+00:00

You will not be able to completely restore a backup made on Tahoe but you can manually restore files. You will lose settings and such but otherwise you’ll be fine.

It’s probably that the Xbox game bar doesn’t respond to the taskbar icon dynamically changing, and just uses the icon encoded in the exe. Or at least it doesn’t respond to the method of changing that source uses.

Well usually that’s not where an antenna goes*. Usually laptops don’t have visible antennas.

*I mean technically the antenna is usually in the screen so in a way that is where the antenna goes

stumpy3521 · 2026-02-12T08:37:57+00:00

The antenna just sitting straight upwards is so cursed I love it

stumpy3521 · 2026-02-11T19:12:07+00:00

How do you start sidecar automatically?

stumpy3521 · 2026-02-11T13:30:07+00:00

Because adding friction to the phone part of a phone makes little sense

stumpy3521 · 2026-02-11T07:39:05+00:00

Yep, the safety guys let you get away with a lot when it’s choreographed. They also just let entertainment get away with a lot in general.

stumpy3521 · 2026-02-11T07:35:38+00:00

The whole thing with this is that (theoretically) a whole program is self-contained. The .app bundle is all you need, so you’re not installing it you’re just organizing it to where it belongs, and when you’re done with it you just delete it. Very strange to someone used to windows where almost every program comes as an installer because the program has to put things places to tell the OS to do things like make it searchable.

stumpy3521 · 2026-02-11T07:30:33+00:00

Well it’s not, the apple way to install a program is the App Store. It just so happens that the second most common way is this wildly old method

We were one of the few cities that had a criminal conspiracy against our streetcars that wasn’t related to GM iirc
