Okay, so I guess I won’t cancel and retry with another payment method then.

Sure, I’ll just go ahead and close the show I’m watching. Thanks! I’ve also got a few suggestions in return:

• Don’t show this message in a tab where the user purposefully entered full-screen video playback.
• Keep a white-list of websites for which this is expected behavior.
• Remember for which URLs or domains I’ve ignored/closed the message.
• Allow me to disable the message completely.
• Fuck off.

Second post of a two-part series on the app that keeps on giving: Music.app

In case you ever wondered why the “repeat album” mode is showing two arrows in a clockwise way it’s because you can indefinitely click on “Next track” but if you hit “Previous track” past the first track it doesn’t play the last song in the album (As one would expect) but instead just stops the playback completely.

Today Manu was telling me about a bug where double clicking a track wouldn’t start it. Only clicking on the play button would start it. It fixed itself after restarting Music.app.

A few hours later I opened Music.app to record another bug and sure enough I hit the exact some issue as him. Double-clicking a track doesn’t do anything. Side node: What’s up with the alignment of the speaker icon compared to the play icon?

People who use 2FA know that the chances of your token being a nanosecond from being expired every time you open your password manager are extremely high.

The decision to switch to a search engine and not an ad platform with some search results sprinkled in is becoming easier every day now.

In one of the screenshots “Shuffle” is activated, in the other it’s not. Can you tell which is which? I certainly can’t. #777777 and #8D8D8D. Bonus question: Is “Repeat” enabled? Are you sure? Is it the same state in both screenshots?

Not pictured is how inconsistently “Shuffle” switches between states. Going from disabled to enabled simply changes to the “dark” shade instantly. Going from enabled to disabled has an additional “animation” step that is much darker than the “dark” shade. Why not just use that level of darkness to better differentiate between the two states?!

I just installed the macOS 10.15.3 update (for no reason, the only changes were seemingly related to hardware I don’t own) and now I’m wondering if I’ll get this “Relocated Items” message every time there’s a small update? I already got rid of this folder at the last update.

On the plus side: at least my folder contains more than a PDF.

Remember the cool window shrinking feature in macOS? Today my fully loaded laptop turned off during a meeting, the entire battery drained in about 90 minutes. Because when I disconnected it from my external display on my desk to go to the meeting, the window shrinking feature kicked in and turned one backgrounded window into the pictured state. I’m not sure if the flickering is the fault of iA Writer or the OS, but it is quite impressive that it manages to burn through a almost brand new battery so quickly. And so efficiently that the fans didn’t even alert me to something being wrong. It just works!

This suddenly showed up, maybe a Safari.app update gone wrong?
