Did you know that if you change the dl=0 at the end of a dropbox link to dl=1 it'll just automatically download instead of taking you to that dumb webpage that plays videos terribly?

You did? Great.

DID YOU ALSO KNOW THAT IF YOU CHANGE IT TO raw=1 IT WILL LOAD THE ACTUAL FILE IN THE BROWSER WINDOW WTF HOW DID I JUST FIND THIS

I don’t know what makes me feel like a bigger doofus; updating the firmware on my coffee mug, or rebooting my garage door.

I tried to delete a file from Dropbox just now and, no matter where I deleted it, my two computers or the web interface, it kept coming back like 10 seconds later. I had to pause syncing on all devices, delete them all locally and on the web and it finally stuck. But yeah, keep pushing that DocuSign integration and file analytics or whatever, that's what we need for sure.

I spent some time tonight extracting some iPhone 15 spatial video and, you'll be shocked to hear, I have some Thoughts. So, buckle up or whatever.

First things first, I have to admit, I've been obsessing over trying to pull this stuff apart since the beta came out. It's so easy to get caught up in the excitement around these types of things because it's a new, magical experience. But there is no magic. This is exactly what you would expect Stereo3D footage from an iPhone to look like.

Does mastodon have one of those “infinite scream” bot accounts I can retweet or should I just become that account myself

When the hell did they add this to QuickTime?

(also, it shows black for the 2nd eye on Intel Macs lol)

White Castle has replaced their drive-thru ordering system with an AI chatbot. The first thing you have to do after it says hello is agree to its terms and services. This is not a bit.

Dropbox finally forced me to update to the new File Provider API version where it shoves everything into CloudStorage for safety or whatever.

It's been "indexing" for 2 days, all my files have the fun little ☁️ icon, and yet it filled my entire hard drive with files that it’s now unable to remove because it's full and stuck.

It seems like Dropbox's new “Manage Hard Drive Space" tool that's supposed batch-move things to online-only won't work till it finishes indexing...which it can't do.

Why's it gotta be so difficult to automate macOS System Settings? I just wanna toggle off the system startup chime from 8pm to 8am.

I figured out how to prevent my Xcode builds from failing all the time on my MBA. It was apparently overheating, so I just have to tilt my laptop so the bottom stays cool. At least it’s quiet without all those pesky fans.

I always forget about this app until I need it, but Scoop! is my favorite app for inspecting file metadata.

If you ever get the chance to have your Mac run out of disk space and RAM, but say it didn't run out of disk space and RAM, I highly recommend it. You see, the files are managed for you, so you don't have to worry, except when your desktop wallpaper breaks, and you can't quit or launch apps, but under the hood it definitely is taking care of things.
