Made my first "repair HOWTO" video. This one is about screen replacement on Sony MZ-RH10 MD Walkman.

Mac, MiniDisc and film. Keep it just enough inconvenient to stay alert.

I get that macOS 12 Monterey is now obsolete, but each update is not only a step forward, it is a bunch of lost functionality which I need and use daily.
PostScript? Gone. Was a great way to print man pages.
FireWire audio? Gone in macOS 13.
FireWire altogether? Gone in macOS 26. No film scanning or access to old HDDs.
I'm forced to get rid of some part of me and my habits for no obvious reason while Apple doesn't even bother to explain why it removed the functionality in the first place.

New day new frustration.
Somewhere along the way between iOS 18.5 and 18.7 update Apple broke support (or should I say brokedated?) of scanned documents for older devices.
E. g. scans taken with iOS 18.7.1 are shown as "Unsupported Attachment" on macOS 12.

Engaged into an argument with a fellow MD enthusiast about ATRAC versions and difference. Sure, Sony made a complete mess naming and marketing its codecs, but boy that transformed into some urban legends among MD audiophiles.
I miss those times when users had freedom of update choice. When you could actually stick with a familiar environment and skip an OS release altogether (hello Vista).
It's not that each individual icon is bad, but they're so alike and so low contrast, that when you have 60+ of them in the dock (like I do) you'll have a very hard time distinguishing'em.
Here's a great collection of what macOS icons looked like over the years.

If you're wondering what the world looks like for someone with myopia, take a glimpse at pre- and post Tahoe Reminders icon.
Boy the Tahoe one makes me want to rub the screen with soft cloth.

Forgot my AirPods 3 in the country house and am forced back to AirPods 2.
Boy, those are comfortable and convenient! Great shape, just the right stem size. And no stupid squeeze controls which pause playback every freaking time I adjust an earpiece fit.

While everyone is frustrated by the upcoming Tahoe Liquid Glass redesign, I'm still reluctant to upgrade from MacOS 12 Monterey.
I just don't see anything that new OSes have that's worth the hassle.
Moreover, I'm certain that decades-long bugs (e. g. with Dock) are fixed neither in MacOS 13-14-15, nor Tahoe.
