Two Reddit saves in one day! First the Venmo contact, now a dead Apple Pencil Pro. My wife misplaced hers…for about a year. We finally found it, but it was completely dead. Wouldn’t connect, wouldn’t charge. I was just to recycle it, and thought I’d check the net first…

Glad I did—I put it in a Ziploc bag in relatively warm water (hot tap, heated for a minute, then off) for about five minutes. Pencil now connected and charging. Never ever would have guessed to try that!

This cringey video was the beginning of something I had always dreamed about, but never knew at the time the direction my career would take because of it. I remember posting it on some Apple/Mac forum and getting super excited about the response. Pretty sure it was the first time in my life I've ever had more than a couple people excited about something I helped make.

Fun to see some of the old apps I had on that phone too. 😁

I have no idea how legal this is (not?), but if you’re a fan of Apple’s assorted desktop images over the years, this GitHub repo has a huge collection, all in at least 5K resolution.

It’s an assorted of the various default wallpapers, not every image included in each OS release. Still, it’s a great collection.

When people ask me "Why don’t you take screenshots for help and whatnot using the cool Liquid Glass UI in macOS Tahoe?," I’m going to start sending this as my entire reply…

So yea, enabling "Reduce transparency" in Accessibility > Display is pretty much a must-do prior to taking screenshots. Even though the end result doesn’t reflect what most users see, at least it’s not … this.
