@siracusa@mastodon.social Fun fact: “performance” and “efficiency” are stringly typed in both the kernel and I/O Registry:

$ sysctl -a | grep "hw.perflevel"

$ ioreg -l -b -p "IODeviceTree" -r -n "cpus"

("cluster-type" will be either “P" or “E”)

I can't imagine how they are going to change the meaning of “performance" without breaking a bunch of other low-level things.

We’ve been getting into physical media at CHEZ CHOCK, so that means I needed a way to switch inputs between Apple TV and DVD player using my AV Remote app. If you want something simpler and better than the stock Denon/Marantz apps, here you go: https://testflight.apple.com/join/EvYrQhkF

It’s pretty cool when people are still being entertained by a 20 year old gag. https://www.flickr.com/photos/iconfactory/albums/72157594406897342/

It’s going to be pretty weird to not see my name in the credits of an Iconfactory release: the first time in 29 years! Still, I hope that our latest Kickstarter gets funded so we can keep the company alive and doing what we all love: trying to make this world a little better. Your support means the world to us. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iconfactory/ollies-arcade-expansion-more-retro-games

If the Unicode Consortium is paying attention, there will be a DUMPSTER FIRE emoji in this year’s drop.

Life hack: If you don’t have any small kids around, it’s super easy to get rid of childproof caps on some medications. Take a pair of scissors and cut one of lock supports just below the cap threads, then the other one twists off easily.
