Windows 2.x still thought it "knew better" than Mac when it came to keyboard shortcuts …

Undo: Alt+Backspace
Cut: Shift+Delete
Copy: Ctrl+Insert
Paste: Shift+Insert

1990 would change that. Of course, the option-key shortcuts that Mac started in 1984 … ? Still […]

But what double-buffering achieved was:
1. instant support on many UI elements
2. an easy way to transition graphics/icons/etc that didn't have early support — just 2x them
3. an easy way to build iPhones with panels had high-dpi but not exactly the RIGHT high-dpi, so you didn't have to […]

My return flight is delayed. And it got delayed after I arrived at SFO.

Which I’m fine with, because I got a really nice view down 28L/R, an ok view of 01 L/R, and liveatc in my ears.

If you haven't been able to ship your iOS/macOS 26 update yet and have been feeling bad about it, just remember:

Apple still hasn't shipped iWork with Liquid Glass, and Apple also opted all its pro apps out of Liquid Glass.

Final Cut Pro on iPad still doesn't support the background video […]

New, from me: The Cloudflare Outage May Be a Security Roadmap

An intermittent outage at Cloudflare on Tuesday briefly knocked many of the Internet’s top destinations offline. Some affected Cloudflare customers were able to pivot away from the platform […]

Best nerdy video you’ll see in 2025. You’ll laugh or cringe so hard your wisdom teeth will pop out.

Fair play to the Lyric Theatre in Sydney — they published my critical review. #bttf #backtothefuture The Musical is rightfully getting mixed reviews on Reddit, but most theatre reviews are uniformly from people who are identifiably fans of ALL musicals, and only […]

It’s only since Covid and lockdowns ended that the first “reverse hacked” #scammer call centre was published on YouTube by a security expert. It was in parallel with that time Mark Rober made a glitter bomb with streaming cameras that porch pirates stole, but led to a bigger network of gift card […]

But there’s more to it, and they’re trying to make it work with more purpose

@atpfm Just a random shout-out that the t-shirts designed / selected by @siracusa — in particular the latest batch, e.g. M3 Ultra — are the best, nicest comfortable t-shirts I've ever owned

The tri-blend is incredibly good. Black Tri-Blend.

Is this newer than Vintage Black Tri-Blend? I've […]

Back in 2018-19, the movie #burning was a critical hit — for some reason. It was a #korean psychological thriller #movie that reached breakthrough status in the west, and that implies it was better than most Korean movies, most non-Hollywood movies, or most […]
