Touch Bar works, but can be a bit finicky. For example, it might work properly after reboot. Put the Mac to sleep, and after wake the Touch Bar has lost part of its functionality.

There’s a new yet-to-be-released project that significantly improves the Touch Bar experience. It lets you display basically anything you want on the Touch Bar. System monitor, weather widgets, games, etc. It even has support for application specific controls. They might publicly release it within the next few days.

T2 Macs are a flavor of Intel (x86) Macs, and they require T2Linux flavor of Linux.

Just a quick heads up for those planning on installing Linux on their Mac. There are about three types of Macs: Intel Macs, T2 Macs and Apple Silicon Macs.

• Linux should work fine on Intel Macs, but some people at least seem to have problems with the Touch Bar.
• T2 Macs are a flavor of Intel Macs. If your Mac has T2 chip, you must use T2Linux flavor of your distro. The overall experience might not be perfectly smooth, expect some issues with at least Touch Bar, suspend and connectivity. Some fixes should arrive later this year, as far as I know.
• Asahi Linux currently supports M1 and M2 Macs. M3 and M4 are unsupported.

At least check the T2Linux wiki. On T2 Macs, certain modules needs to be loaded in specific order for the TouchBar to work. https://wiki.t2linux.org/guides/postinstall/

If it’s T2 Mac, you should use T2Linux. If it’s a non-T2 TouchBar Mac… Maybe something in the T2Linux wiki helps? At least on T2 Macs, certain modules needs to be loaded in specific order, or the TB won’t work.

Is it T2 Mac? Did you use T2Linux?

Does this affect only one of the three batteries, or all of them?

Unhook is a good extension for YouTube. It can hide various distractions, such as shorts, and it’s also configurable.

Haven’t heard anything about that. I think they finalized the deal last year. Election system plan canceled, though.

Good. Finland just last year spent some 600 million euros on new AI system running on AWS, built by a USA company, that, once it’s completed, will handle social insurance related applications. If you need something like unemployment benefits, disability/sickness related benefits, etc. all the necessary information required to handle your application will be handed to that system.

It’s even harder to praise the actions of USA’s government.

I expect nothing more from them. Although, calling it “Temu something something” is an insult to Chinese goods.

How long will it take until they turn Minority Report into reality? “The AI said you were going to commit an act of terrorism/murder/robbery, so we’ll jail you before you cause any harm”

Scalpers are already selling it like double the MSRP.

Took me an hour to get my order through. Delivery estimate slipped from 3-5 days to 6-10 days while I hammered the button. At least I managed to get the order through.

It seems to be sold out now, at least here in Europe.

Peace President keeping up the peace with yet another war.

The Strait of Iran is so open that NATO better stay away from it, so that it won’t accidentally close again.

Someone buy Donny a new keyboard. His Caps Lock is stuck.

If you want to confirm that, launch one or all of your WinBoat apps. While they are running, run pidof windows. If that gave some pids, run pstree -sp <pid>. That command shows the parent processes, with their pids, of the <pid> . WinBoat probably should be among the parents of the “windows” process.
