I eventually turned off auto bed leveling because it just doesn’t help much. You still have to manually level the bed, and the correction it adds is kinda negligible. At least the BL Touch does help with the manual leveling process.

Note that these were cases of it mishearing other noises as the trigger word. It’s still not recording until (it thinks) it’s heard the trigger.

That’s what they say but I haven’t finished mine yet so I can only hope

It’s basically just working for 6 years for not much pay while your friends who got jobs right out of undergrad are making at 3-5x as much.

I have a similar project called PiKVM. I can remotely turn on my computer from a full shutdown, navigate the BIOS to select an OS, and log in, after which I typically switch to a software-based Remote Desktop which is more performant. But you can’t power on a computer and navigate a BIOS with a software solution.

One time I was playing The Talos Principle in VR and I just took a minute to lay down under some trees

Kanto is heavily based on the real similarly named region of Japan

Any Myst setting really. They are all gorgeous.

I love the Magic Trackpad and I use it with Linux. Not sure that counts.

3rd party app and then transfer files via USB.

You have to be able to do everything you need, including modifying things, updating, installing software, and fixing issues without using the command line at all, and the amount you have to modify and fix really has to be minimal.

I’ve fit an entire Nintendo Switch in my pocket before

It’s often the fastest and most convenient method to send a file between two computers or phones (provided both are Apple products).

What I'm wondering now is, does the target app have to keep running to receive those messages?

No it doesn’t. What’s happening is target’s webserver sends a message to Google’s webserver, which sends a message to your phone, which is displayed by the OS. The Target app doesn’t need to be launched for this and won’t be launched unless you tap on the notification, which typically launches the associated app.

That means it's potentially continuously collecting the phone's location.

Target’s app isn’t doing this, although they probably do record what you bought from which target and when.

Google can / probably is continuously collecting the phone’s location, to some extent. Your cell service company can do this too.

B and E can be fixed with settings to auto-hide both the top bar and the dock. You can also change the size of the dock to be small if you don’t want to fully hide it. You also have equivalent problems on any OS if you don’t have similar settings.

C and D I’ve experienced in Ubuntu as well. For what it’s worth, while I do find C annoying at times, I find D can actually make it easier to deal with full-screen applications than in windows. In macOS or Ubuntu I can just switch spaces away from the full screen app, while in windows I have to tab out, which sometimes works, sometimes partially works, sometimes doesn’t really work, and sometimes lags a lot before one of the above. Tbf I’m least experienced in Windows and haven’t really tried their version of the multiple desktops thing.

Honestly I think “maximize window” and “make full screen” should be separate behaviors. Sometimes you can get “maximize window” behavior in macOS by double-tapping the top bar of a window. But in both macOS and Ubuntu I use a 3rd party window manager app to help me arrange windows more efficiently.

I’ve definitely encountered A and the even worse problem of a window being stuck on a non-existent display before. I don’t think I’ve encountered it more in macOS than other OSes but I’m not sure. I have one Ubuntu install that has a particularly consistent problem where by default the external monitor and the built-in monitor overlap, which causes some weird behavior, but there is some other weirdness about that install tbf.

Right

MacOS is trash. An OS' primary job is managing applications and their windows and MacOS provides the most utterly unintuitive and non functional UX, the instant you plug in an external monitor.

How is MacOS’s window and external monitor behavior different from everything else?

Can’t say that about my Ubuntu installation

When it’s 3am and you aren’t certain if the head started to turn or not…

Not programming skills, but sysadmin skills.

Buy a used server on EBay (companies often sell their old servers for cheap when they upgrade). Buy a bunch of HDDs. Install Linux and set up the HDDs in a ZFS pool.
