Way back in the day I signed up for a free G Suite plan (now called Workspace). At the time you could have up to 10 users for free. I used this with a personal domain for email and just auto-forwarded messages to my personal @gmail.com account that was my primary email address. Around 2019…
A while back I was running Unreal Tournament 2004 in a Windows 10 Boot Camp install on a 2017 Intel-powered MacBook Pro, and the game locked up. I was able to bring up Task Manager via Ctrl+Shift+Esc, but the mouse cursor–I was using a basic Bluetooth-connected mouse–was not visible (possibly captured by the game still?).…
I recently looked into some of my Synology NAS‘ Hyper Backup file changes because my backup size had grown very quickly. You can download a CSV file listing all of the new, modified, and deleted files in each Hyper Backup version. Unfortunately the file sizes are provided as plain text using “Bytes”, “KB”, or “MB”…
I’ve been running my own media server for many, many years in various iterations. Currently I’m trying out Emby as an alternative to Plex after being a bit underwhelmed with Jellyfin‘s Apple tvOS app options (e.g. Swiftfin and Infuse Pro ). I’m not sure if I’ll stick with it; I would prefer to go with…
When I tried running DOSBox-X on my MacBook Pro with macOS Monterey (this seems to have better compatibility/performance on macOS than the original DOSBox), a window popped up saying DOSBox-X cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. The window only offered two options–Move to Trash or Cancel. I could not override this and…
I’ve been working on an iOS app using an upgraded mid-2009 MacBook Pro, but I ran into a roadblock the other day when I wanted to test the app on a real device instead of just the iOS simulator. My iPhone is running the latest iOS 10.3 as of this writing, but the version of…
I haven’t looked at any Linux distros in a while, so I thought I’d see how Ubuntu was running these days. First let me say that I think Ubuntu is pretty sweet for a free OS and the installation process is generally very smooth. However, in this particular instance I ran into some issues. I…
I should be able to specify that I want my computer to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity, and it will go to sleep as expected and only wake back up when I press a key or move the mouse or something like that. Unfortunately my PC has had some issues in the past waking…
The Hibernate power option is a great way to keep everything where I left it when I’m going to be away from my PC for a long time (e.g. when going to bed or even on a vacation). Sometimes I’ll have several applications, a couple dozen browser tabs, and a bunch of Windows Explorer folders…
I wanted to make a bootable Ubuntu 16.04 disc the other day for an older PC and I wasn’t sure how to burn the ISO image to a disc. It’s not that I’ve never done it–I’ve created dozens of bootable discs since the days of Windows 98–it’s just that I haven’t needed to burn a…
