If you have a MacOS then with v5.6.4 at least in June, they’ve added a bunch of really useful features. I don’t know whether this works on Windows or Chrome, but presume there are lots of differences between platforms. Also, this kind of stuff eats a lot of CPU. Right now I’m running using 65%…

Wow, talk about a nice silent update. Literally at 1 AM last night, I discovered that my iPhone with version 14.6 got Dolby Atmos support. This is complicated techie jargon for a more expansive sound. Sound engineers now can place sources in a 3D space and then through the miracle of computational audio, this sound…

Well, I’m still wanting that Tesla Roadster with spacex package but the Model S Plaid+ is pretty incredible. It apparently set the record for a production car Alon the quarter mile driven by no other than Jay Leno at 9.247 seconds. And they set an unofficial record at Laguna Seca reportedly at 1:29.9 which beat…

I sort of wish that the keyboard shortcuts of jupyter were more like Vi, but that is just me, here are some useful defaults from the standard “meta” editing, that is moving around cells, but not editing in them. Also the shortcuts listed are somewhat different at least for my Jupyter 3.0. You can modify…

OK, I can’t help it, I’ve been posting about keyboards for a while and I finally have the “entire” universe of keyboards particularly now that I’ve been using the Unicomp with the buckling spring (the old IBM PC keyboard). So if I were king for a day, here is what I would recommend for a…

OK, I know the pandemic is ending, but the movie habit never really dies, while there is always a plethora, some quick notes and reviews in order of what’s the best value: Kanopy. Like OverDrive and Libby, your local library is a huge resource and you never even really need to go there. With Kanopy,…

WiFi Guide and Troubleshooter for Tesla Vehicles – TeslaTap — Read on teslatap.com/articles/wifi-guide-and-troubleshooter-for-tesla-vehicles/ Well our Model 3 used to connect fine on our mixed 2.4/5G network but lately it seems to fail to login. It works fine on a 2.4G network. Probably my ongoing nightmares with setting in unifi. For some reason sometimes particularly with…

OK, I’ve been using JupyterLab really extensively over the last few days and mainly with keyboard shortcuts. They are super hard to find and remember mainly because like Vi itself there isn’t a central place where they all go (except maybe help). So here for everyone else is a list. First an aside, actually figuring…

If you are on the bleeding edge have a 8K display and want to connect it to a 4Kp120 video source like the new Xbox One it is not going to work. There is a problem with the chip inside the Denon X3700H AVR that blanks the screen. The megaloth conglomerate that owns Denon and…

OK, here’s a simple and convenient thing for you. If you enable Spotlight, then ⌘-Spacebar tapped gets you to the simple search bar. I use it all the time on the Mac to find things. You enable this with Settings ↠ Spotlight and on MacOS Big Sur on the lower left is a Keyboard Shortcuts…
