Today on AppAddict - SmartBackup - Free, Fast and Foolproof - While I have long used Time Machine as my primary backup for my Macs, it does have some drawbacks. If you go looking for a missing file, it's a hit-and-miss operation to find the last known good copy of a document, image or folder.

I also maintain a #Python convenience library for writing #macOS applications, QuickMacApp. I did a new release of it recently to add the new notifications API, and there's finally some documentation on the web: https://pypi.org/project/quickmacapp/2025.4.15/
I've been using #macOS on and off for 15 years, but only today I learned (or remembered) that you can use Cmd+~ to cycle between the open windows of some application. Good stuff!
P.S. Funny enough for a long time I had mapped it to show/hide my terminal. (as a complement for C-~ for dropdown term) Today I moved the terminal keybinding to Opt-~. :-)
Letzter Mac mini mit Intel-Chip für Apple jetzt "Vintage"
Die letzte Mac-mini-Generation mit Intel-Prozessor hat Apples Vorstufe zum Obsolet-Status erreicht. Im Reparaturfall kann es dadurch knifflig werden.
Das Entwicklerteam von #Notion hat in der Vergangenheit sukzessive ein ganzes Portfolio an #Produktivität|s-Anwendungen auf den Markt gebracht. Gestartet war man vor einiger Zeit mit einer eigenen Notiz-App, und legte dann auch mit #NotionCalendar, einer Kalender-Software, nach. Nun hat man mit #NotionMail eine weitere Produktivitäts-App veröffentlicht. Sie ist zum Start für #macOS und in einer Webversion verfügbar.

Is it just me, or do *most* IT certification lose their usefulness mid career and later. That is, your work experience IS your proof credibility, the certs add little to no value do to being overshadowed by your actual accomplishments. In general, does the data support this hypothesis?
This feature was actually requested by a video producer who creates insane amounts of video and audio, and needs as much automation as possible.
So. I have added some more!

You can even set up the conversion parameters per script, as you need them.
That makes it a lot easier to integrate the converter into complex workflows of any kind.

Supercharge has quickly become my go-to app for macOS tweaks. @sindresorhus develops some of the absolute best apps available, and this one continues to provide useful tweaks I'd never even thought of. 
What is the status on #firmware updates for #arm #Snapdragon Laptops?
Can they be updated with #fwupd, or do you need a Windows dualboot?
On #AsahiLinux you need a #MacOS partition to update the firmware. But the Snapdragon laptop firmware might be more open? Are there differences between manifacturers, like #Lenovo supporting fwupd normally?
jfc. I just noticed there's a promotedcontentd in macos? da fuq?

Am I the only one who uses this "Move & Resize" thing in #macOS? It's so buggy I can't imagine it never occurred to anyone ever tried it.
The windows that underwent a Move & Resize will randomly resize themselves and partially go beyond the viewport if I attempt to manually resize or move them afterwards. Annoying as hell.
macOS doesn't seem to have a built-in way to see the volume of audio being sent to the left and right channel.
It’s a useful feature to know if the audio I’m playing is messed up or a problem with speakers/headphones.
