I decide to check the CPU temperature on my 2015 Macbook Air 11 inch using a free utility called HWSensors. Note: HWSensors will install itself as HWMonitor app. Do not be alarm if a sensor shows a temperature of 129° Celsius; it means the sensor is missing or not functional.…

My old WordPress theme (a heavily modified SunsetIdea theme) was static, not responsive. It took up the same space whether you were viewing it on a desktop monitor, tablet, or smartphone. On a tiny phone screen, you would need to zoom and scroll around the page to read. Given the…
Leave a CommentThis morning, when I adjusted the volume on my desktop, a huge popup overlay appeared on the top-left of the screen, blocking a significant part of the video for 5 seconds. It was the Windows 10 volume on-screen display (OSD), except 10 times bigger than before. Previously, only the left…

The best part of macOS is the Linux system which…

A quick google pointed me at “M3 Bitlocker Loader for Mac”, which looked to be free. Unfortunately, it was not.…
Leave a CommentI made a mistake and posted a blog entry to the wrong WordPress website. A comment was made before I could manually delete and post it to the other website. While I could just lose that comment, I decided it would be interesting to see if I could manually migrate…
Leave a CommentTwo months ago, Google Maps stopped telling me directions when navigating on my Apple iPhone 6s. I could still navigate without the voice prompts though. Two week ago, my current location would only update once per minute. I couldn’t navigate at all. Sometimes, after 5-10 minutes, the GPS location updates…
Leave a CommentI found an issue with my Windows 10 desktop. Unknown to me, it has been running an old version of Windows 10 and is lacking all of the recent security updates. Worse, when I run “Check for updates” (a.k.a. Windows Update), Windows say that it is “up to date”. But…
