I commit journalism at the St. Paul Pioneer Press newspaper, where I work as a web editor and tech reporter, and for the Apple-centric TidBITS tech-news site and newsletter. "How the f**k did I end up in Minnesota?" this shivering Puerto Rican groused. Then I took up cross-country skiing ... and I came to dread winter's end. Banner by @[email protected]
What may be a silly/stupid question but here goes (no laughter, please): Is there a way to open the web app in the advanced interface by default? Thanks.

The two Apple-device features I continually trigger by accident, which is making me nuts: the customize-wallpaper-from-the-Lock-screen-by-touching-and-holding thing on the iPhone and the grab-a-screenshot-by-dragging-from-the-corner thing on the iPad.

Keep an eye (and a nose) on the power adapters used to juice your computers and other devices.
This morning I smelled what seemed to be overheating electronics. I think I traced the odor to a Nomad two-port USB-C adapter that was too hot to touch. I'm trashing it.

I've long loved Nomad's gear, but I am treating its adapters with caution until I figure out whether this was an isolated incident. I’m sticking to my Apple USB-C adapters for now.
