After successfully running Windows on an external SSD from my Mac, I’d now like to hide the Windows Partition from macOS, and I’d like to change label name and looks on the two boot icons. This can be fixed with a simple script to create the .icns icons, and a couple of commands to edit…
I finally got my hands on an Intel iMac 27″ 2020 and wanted to see if I could also replace my old gaming rig and install Windows. As the internal SSD is only 512GB, I didn’t want to install on the internal drive. After some reading in addition to trial and error, I finally got…
So I finally pulled the trigger, I purchased a brand new iMac 27″, after they’ve announced their Apple Silicon. We’re (probably) less than a week away from seeing the first models released, but I believe the Intel Macs still has their place, and these are my thoughts on purchasing one. I’ve had a total of…
My other half’s MacBook Air 2012 is the earliest MBA to support Mojave natively. We did a clean install to bring this Mac up to date and remove old junk to free up space.
The Google Home smart speaker has been around for almost one year in the US, and about 6 months in UK. It’s being rolled out to other countries as well, but is not yet available globally, at least not officially. So if you were to get one, how well would it work outside the supported…
The last time I used my Taranis was at OpenTX 2.0.15. I haven’t had the time to use my RC gear lately, and I’m trying to get some more time for my hobbies. To begin with, I wanted to try to keep software updated, and I’m pushing my Taranis up to 2.1.9 which is the…
I have unfortunately been away from the blog for the past couple of years. I’m finally finding some time to sit down with my hobbies again, and I’m starting off with updating the Taranis X9D Plus to the newest OS. This meant a lot of reading up on the new EU-regulations, and the changes to OpenTX. Hopefully…
I finally got hold of an old Mac Pro early 2008 which I rebuilt from scratch. It had no drives, and the fans all needed replacement. I also had to search for some replacement parts to get it all working, but I got most of it for free, so it’s a “free” Mac Pro which…
While this was a simple task on earlier Mac OS X versions, you can’t find an option to create a RAID in newer versions, you have to use terminal to create it. Fortunately it is very simple and harmless, as long as you take your time to carefully check which drives you are including in the…
SSD’s are in my opinion the only storage operating systems should be installed to. Spinning drives are for archives and long time storage, not fast data access. While older Macs can easily be physically upgraded with an SSD, it doesn’t necessary mean that the performance is there to stay, unless you manually enable TRIM after…
Are you experiencing problems with no free disk space in Windows 10? The Temp folder under “%appdata\Local\Temp” is suddenly filled with random GUID-named folders with the same content, a lot of DLL’s and “DismHost.exe”. After a lot of testing, I found a solution, other than clean install, which seems to correct the issue.
I tried re-installing (the good old) Windows Home Server 2011 on a 120GB SSD, but it was too small to meet the OS requirements, even though WHS 2011 only uses approx. 60 GB of HDD space. I found a simple way to get around this
I’ve followed the development of the game Big Pharma for a long time, and recently the beta was released. Unfortunately it’s still only for Windows, but making it work on Mac is easy with Wineskin!
As some might be aware of, there are some compatibility issues with Minecraft on Mac. You are prompted to download the old Java 1.6 SE to make it work. With a simple applescript and Java 8 JDK, you can use the latest Java.
I’ve wanted a 3D-printer for a long time, but I haven’t really had confidence in the technology, and especially not for the price you typically would have to pay for it. But Tiko seems to be on to something great.
