    I made Beamhook - stop macOS from sending your media keys to the wrong app

    Hello! I made a small menubar app that let's you route media keys + volume control to specific app. Got tired of pressing play and some background YouTube tab starts blasting instead of Spotify. I was very used to BeardedSpice but that doesn't work on latest macOS. MacMediakeyForwarder has a...

    iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone is the best smartphone for making phone calls. Period.

    Hey everyone, I feel like we spend so much time talking about cameras, ecosystem lock-in, and screen refresh rates that we completely forget one of the most important purpose of these devices: actually making phone calls. In my experience, especially after iOS 26, I’m convinced that iPhone is...

    Audio channels are mixed up randomly on each wake-up / power cycle when connected to HDMI TV.

    Hi, I have a rather strange issue. When I connect my MacBook to the TV, all my speakers output incorrect channels. For example, left front outputs the rear left channel, center outputs front right, and front right outputs the center channel, etc. Channels are mixed up seemingly randomly on each...

    iMovie Split (Sped Up) Clip Bug

    Weird. I'm splitting a video of an imported MP4 into clips. Because the video is long, I've sped it up. However, when I place the playhead line at the place I want to split a clip (after someone stops speaking) the clip _does not split at that point in the video_. It happened constantly and I...

    Any way to stop Safari taking over the keyboard media buttons?

    So all Apple keyboards have media playback controls on them (Forward/Reverse/Play/Pause), and they are extremely convenient when you use Music or playback video a lot. And I use Music a lot. But Safari is extremely efficient at taking over said controls, and I would really like to know if...

    bit depth, sample rate in audio file?

    So I'm trying to figure out how to get the bit depth/bit rate and sample rate in an audio mp3 file. Of course bit rate = sample rate x bit depth. If I look at a file of mine in "Get Info", it reports a "Sample Rate" of 48 kHz. If I look at the "Movie Inspector" for that file in Quicktime, it...

    iPhone 17 Pro iPhone 17 Pro - Position of front mic & speaker?

    All of the diagrams I've seen are vague about this - they point, more or less, to the area left of the front camera. Lots and lots of screen protectors are being sold for the 17 Pro without even a hole for the front camera, much less a cutout for the mic and speaker. If I knew precisely where...

    Audio not working on iBook G3/600 14.1, but it occasionally chimes when booting.

    I recently got a second hand iBoom G3/600 14,1" (PowerBook4,2), and since I got it audio in OSX doesn't work, and it chimes less than one time out of ten. This happened both when it had the already installed 10.2.8, then now that I installed 10.4.
