I plugged in a couple of extra monitors earlier because my wife needed a bunch of reference material visible at once. The "Arrange Displays" tool in Settings barely works now. It locked up constantly; I eventually figured out I could only move one display at a time, close the tool and reopen it to adjust the other.

Oh, and there's this:

New Strava feature! And I'm just having fun playing with the cards. 🤪

I popped into Goodwill today looking for a tiny cheap slow cooker* and found an Apple A1048 keyboard! Score!

* I want to get into waxing my bike chain.

Seriously, these are the kinds of reviews you see if you filter for "Lag" or "Ads"

Kind of funny AI-summary failure at Best Buy: it dings the Apple TV for having too many ads. Why? Because a bunch of the comments say "I love that it doesn't have any ads."

The automatic summary correlates Ads == Bad, and so lists Ads in the cons column for the Apple TV.

Fourth time I've bought this now.
I miss iTunes 11's neat color-matching album view. (This is iTunes 12, but same thing.)

Oh hey, internet recovery still works!

This is a ~2010 MacBook Pro that originally shipped with Mac OS X Lion. Gonna see if I can get it up to Mavericks; for some reason Mavericks is missing from Apple's download site.

Does anyone know how to reset the Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Local Network application list on macOS Sequoia? Chrome has gotten totally wedged for me and I can't enable access to devices on my local network, which is blocking me from using Chrome for work.

There's that one instance that's marked as on, and I can't turn it off. Toggling any other instance turns the top-most instance on. Google Chrome isn't installed on this system anymore, I removed it and rebooted to try and fix this.

Did we lose the pop-up keys on iOS 26, or is that an accessibility thing I can't remember how to turn back on? The rounded corners on this are pretty egregious too.
