I try to always install with Homebrew. Because then you can uninstall with the --zap option, for example:
$ brew uninstall --zap aerospace
Usually it blows away everything associated with the app, including cached files, configuration in ~/Library and ~/.config, etc. Very useful. It'll leave a non-functional login item which isn't active and can't be active.
I like the app uninstaller included in Forklift. You open Applications folder, and delete an app. A window appears with all the associated files Forklift can find (which is extremely accurate, BTW), and you can uninstall everything you want from there.
For .pkg files, there's UninstallPKG which reads the package manifest and properly uninstalls it.
I would like to take this moment to rage against Apple for shipping that package installer, literally 25 years ago, and never once having apparently even considered a native, out of the box way to uninstall programs that were installed that way.
Speaking of packages, even more embarrassing, Microsoft Windows literally beat them to shipping a first-party package manager. I feel like Apple lives in a fantasy land that the drag’n’drop app install method from the classic macOS is some kind of platonic ideal — never mind that they can’t stop half the apps out there from going outside that paradigm and installing their crap all over the place.
Bol, coolblue, Amazon.Com.be or .nl all deliver to Germany. Actually I often do Amazon arbitrage, same coffee machine fun the same warehouse may be 200€ cheaper on Amazon.fr than in any German shop including amazon.de. and the Belgian store has less choice but often better prices. Makes no sense but true.
That brand doesn't sell their stuff on any of those websites. I have bought in Belgian and German web stores before, but I can't really do that if they refuse to show me their QWERTY product offering.
Can I share my Visual Studio Code pet peeve? I tried to set the font of the editor, so I opened the preferences and instead of simply picking a font, there's a textfield for the "font family". I want to set it to Anka/Coder Narrow. I have no idea what I should fill in the textfield, and I feel it's a regression.
Anyway, it's amazing how JetBrains just keeps pumping out IDEs. My students like it. When I suggested Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code for coding C#, they ignored me and installed JetBrains Rider.
For monitors with DisplayPort over USB-C, yes. The most common machine on the other end of that cable tends to be a MacBook, and nobody wants to run 2x usb-c cables from their MacBook to their monitor.
I caught him a few times not writing significant details that go against his narrative.
"FSD disengages just before the collision." The other video angle shows that the driver presses the brake, which disengages FSD. "Tesla consistently hides information from the court." There are two different cases separated by years. The police got all the information they needed in the first case. "FSD is 10x worse than the average driver." The uncertainty of the number due to insufficient statistics makes the comparison moot.
"FSD disengages just before the collision." The other video angle shows that the driver presses the brake, which disengages FSD.
To be fair that's not a contradiction. If FSD is designed such that a user braking because FSD was about to plow into something, sure the user started driving at the last second, but that is Tesla making a design choice to artificially blame users for FSD being fundamentally unsafe.
The claim was that FSD disengages before collision without user input (presumably to fool someone into thinking that it's the driver's fault). It's not clear who they are trying to fool though. The public will not buy it. NHTSA requires reporting the crash as ADAS-related if ADAS was active at any point during 5 seconds before the crash. The court would just classify this tactic as criminal negligence in the design (if they can detect imminent crash, why they disengage FSD instead of initiating emergency braking?).
All-in-all, the trick that can't fool anyone and that doesn't make any sense. If this claim was true, the only explanation would be that Tesla is evil for the sake of evil and to the detriment to itself. Evil and dumb.
On the other hand, pressing the brake is a common way of disengaging ADAS. Tesla is no better and no worse in this regard than other ADAS manufacturers.
He is extremely negative about Tesla, consistently. He's careful not to open himself to lawsuit with plausible deniability. But he borderline lies. I won't be surprised if he's on the payroll of legacy auto
I don't think he is on payroll, but he was promised Tesla Roadster, when it did not materialize he went on a vengeful crusade. I don't blame the guy, I would do the same.
I drive an electric. It doesn't save money because the car itself is more expensive by exactly as much as you would save over the life of the car. And then the $700/year registration fees because you don't pay the fuel tax. Again, stupid capitalism.
