dscacheutil -flushcache That's apparently all it takes. A more permanent (actual) fix in Safari is on its way. I hope this also fixes the delay in loading actual Twitter pages, too, like Lowest Score Wins (@LowScoreWins) | Twitter. Source: How to fix the t.co Twitter problem

I'm bummed. The PodiumPad has been a great thing I've used for over a decade. I wanted to pick up one or two more, but the domain name roadtools.com is no longer responding or active. The whois entry is still active, though.

When I'm signed in to Twitter.com in Safari, there's a high likelihood that visiting twitter.com/someusername or a t.co link will fail. 80% of the time I do this, in Safari, the site fails to load, or sputters for a minute before finally loading.

My Mid-2012 Mac Pro doesn't have Bluetooth 4.0. I haven't been able to use Continuity on it, ever. That doesn't bother me too much.

Even when I'm away from home the backup goes to my local backup at home. (And then there is the option to backup to friends […]

Introducing a more powerful Dropbox Pro New Sharing Controls New safeguards for lost devices 10x more room Nice. And just in time for iCloud Drive eh?

The Sixth Sense LaunchBar 6.1 adds "Staging." Which probably just means that I use about 5% of the app's power now…

Halt and Catch Fire Gets the ’80s PC Revolution Perfectly Right. Here’s How. Great show. What stood out to me the most was how, for seven or eight episodes, Cameron was trying to beg, borrow, and steal (384 K extra!!!) to create a very, very basic "interaction" model OS, and… in one of the last […]

rentzsch.tumblr.com: Unpopular Unpopular is my Chrome extension that helps dampen the social approval echo chamber. It hides indicators of social status on GitHub (followers, watchers, stars, forks) and Twitter (followers, retweets, favs). I find Unpopular useful to focus on what I find interesting and important. I hope you find it useful as well. If you're […]

Amazon’s Tactics Confirm Its Critics' Worst Suspicions But the more basic problem here is that Amazon is violating its own code. To win a corporate battle, Amazon is ruining its customer experience.
