Immersion | cogmodo

Immersion is a state of deep focus and concentration on a single task, where the outside world fades away. This state of being, achieved through learning and training, is not a product but a skill that can be applied to various tasks, providing a sense of fulfillment and reward. It's both effortless and productive.

👩‍💻​ My So Called Sudo Life: Jailbroken Kindle x Windows edition 

I just used a Windows PC for the first time in 20 years possibly?

Long story short, I typically manage my Kindle 4's contents with a Macbook Air from 2013 that still works wonderfully.

But! The old Air stayed behind in Paris, as I just arrived at my parents' in Italy with my Macbook Air M4. And the Kindle would not mount on it, no matter what I tried (even checking USB connections in Terminal). Last resort: I asked my parents if I could use their PC.

Dad got upset because with the first micro USB cable the computer wouldn't recognize my Kindle... so he launched #copilotai looking for help and I literally screamed "Nooooo I don't want any of that, quit quit quit immediately."

A different cable did the trick, I installed an earlier version of KOreader and it seems to be better... but the books aren't rendering yet, they're all gibberish, so I may have to install Calibre on my parents' PC and re-convert all the books.

Why going through so many hassles? Did you ever see how gorgeous Simple UI is for KOreader? A total game changer.

Sorry for the GitHub link, but it's either this or Reddit or YouTube, so choosing the "lesser evil" (debatable, I know):

I'll share photos as soon as I get it to work... it already took me upwards of 6 hours to get KUAL and koreader to install on my ancient Kindle. Nobody is stopping me now, I'm super super motivated to get it to work 😅​

Interface Paradigms | cogmodo

The evolution of computer interfaces has progressed from punchcards to graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and touchscreens, making interaction more intuitive. The rise of AI introduces a new paradigm, allowing natural language interaction, but raises questions about the future of traditional interfaces and the desirability of computers as partners rather than tools. While AI offers convenience, it also demands new communication skills, potentially alienating those who prefer solitude and simplicity in their interactions with technology.

Resize Windows to Fixed Dimensions | cogmodo

A tutorial on how to resize a specific window on a Mac to fixed dimensions using the Keyboard Maestro app. The steps include creating a new macro, setting a keyboard shortcut trigger, and adding the "Resize a Window" action with the desired pixel dimensions.

Hi, it's been a while. I'm trying to find my way back to spaces I once enjoyed. I am hopeful that this *could* be the start of it.

A new chapter, or even book, in some ways.

Notes by JCProbably

Did you know that you can export your saved data (including passkeys!) from Apple Passwords to another app on your iPhone or iPad? Top level of the app, ... menu, “Export Data to Another App”.

And you can export your saved data (including passkeys) from 1Password to another app on your iPhone or iPad, too! Top level of the app, user avatar, Settings, Advanced, Start Export.

Folks from 1Password, Dashlane, Bitwarden, NordPass, Apple, and Google collaborated on a data interoperability standard (CXF in FIDO Alliance) to make this possible. Building on top of that, iOS has first-class support for migrating that standardized data between apps.

Not all apps will support all of the data that’s possible to be transferred, but this really might help you switch from one app to another. There’s no need for a desktop computer and a CSV file, and those CSV files never supported migrating passkeys. The OS support for this exists on Mac, but third-party apps have been slower to adopt it.

Everything I’ve said here is public information and available to use on your i{Phone,Pad}OS 26 devices today.

Is there anybody out there?
Science fiction is cool. But there’s something about real human beings bringing all their joy, their grief, their combined years of unfathomable hard work and training, their jar of Nutella and little tokens from home 250k miles across space to see our moon with their own eyes that just fills me wonder beyond anything I’ve ever read in a book.
