Professional restarter of things
@stroughtonsmith I used it free for years but did buy it! It slowly seeped into my (casual) design workflow until it felt essential. That's a good free tier IMO.
@louie I’m not sure when iPad lost its magical 30-day standby that the original one had, but that was a really great part of that product
@dan the 2018 i7 Mac mini could toast the Uncrustable to a golden brown crunch
@apotenza this is very astute. Glad to see someone call out the display and hot desking issues. I'm able to mitigate that only because I have the luxury of doing IT for an entirely Apple shop with a lot of inertia behind that platform. But I still find it annoying!
@stroughtonsmith bookmarking for years later when Apple does a similar but less insane-casino looking implementation of this, possibly tied to an F1 promotion
@samhenrigold terrific writing. Thank you for reminding me how computers felt to me when I was 12.
@inket Also tested on a fresh macOS install, it seems that Dock does not respect NSColorSimulatedHardwareEnclosureNumber for tinting apps/folders, at least on 26.3.1 Tahoe. Weird!
@inket It appears to be stuck on 2021 green (int 4) which I had set with an earlier version of Accents.
The Dock is the only area of the system not respecting the new color choice.
What's interesting is if I delete the pref for NSColorSimulatedHardwareEnclosureNumber, the hardware color shown in System Settings reverts to that old green color too. Just can't figure out where it's getting that from.
@inket Hi! Wondering if a previous version of Accents set any values other than NSColorSimulatedHardwareEnclosureNumber and NSColorSimulateHardwareAccent?
The Dock seems to be stuck on a previous color value, and will not update even with restart/safe boot/etc.
Thanks!
@daringfireball @gruber why does Meta always do the most weird and disturbing thing possible? As if being creepy on purpose is the whole point. Starting to think this Zuck fella is maybe a bad guy?
[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?
Zuck: People just submitted it.
Zuck: I don't know why.
Zuck: They "trust me"
Zuck: Dumb fucks.
