The European Union might force me to tell you that I'm forcing cookies, a staple of the internet since the '90s, down your throat so that I can provide you with very basic features of my website such as language selection. That's your notice. And if you live in a sane country like Norway but happen to be a part of the same continent as morons, you may safely ignore this.

Europeiska unionen kan tvinga mig att berätta för dig att jag påtvingar kakor, en stapelvara på internet sedan 90-talet, ner i halsen på dig så att jag kan erbjuda dig grundläggande funktioner på min webbplats som språkval. Det är din notis. Och om du bor i ett sunt land som Norge och råkar befinna dig på samma kontinent som idioter, kan du ignorera detta meddelande.

I'm the one weirdo who prefers digital music, but in the form of files, and not streaming. Asterisk, because I do stream music, it's just that it's from my own collection through SMB. This solution works great for me, especially since I'm almost always connected to a good internet connection and I have unlimited 5G data. Even the large FLAC files stream without a hitch. It works great on my Mac, or any device really. You can just open a file as if it's a local file and it will start playing.

macOS Passwords app crash bug

by Jacob Nilsson •2024-11-09 •Technology, Computers, macOS, Mac, Bug, Apple

A while ago I discovered a pretty silly bug in macOS’s brand new Passwords app. If you’re not aware, it was introduced in the new macOS version - Sequoia. I’m rather surprised this one slipped through the cracks, because it really isn’t hard at all to find, and can be consistently replicated too.
