Universal Control wasn’t working for me since upgrading to macOS 13.3 earlier this week. It’s such a fundamental part of how I work that macOS felt totally broken without it. Hat tip to TheTipsyRooster on Reddit for finding a solution.
Having finally played through Super Metroid, I now think calling its genre “Metroidvania” does a disservice to the game. With all due respect to Symphony of the Night, a game that I also love, Super Metroid clearly is the game that defined the genre. It’s truly a masterpiece.

ToothFairy Can Automatically Improve Audio Quality by Disabling Audio Input from AirPods
How did I just now discover ToothFairy can automatically improve audio quality by disabling audio input from AirPods?!

Is there a way we can have daylight savings time, but without the time change?
While I knew Apple made it possible to edit messages last fall, it’s taken me this long to realize you can type command+e to edit the last message rather than go through the cumbersome process of right-clicking it. Progressive disclosure via the menu bar for the win!
And what exactly is this hunk of man doing? Yard work with power tools? Home improvement, also with power tools? No… this brave soul is replacing the batteries of his house’s many, many smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

I didn’t know Captain Kirk had decided to fend off malicious AIs using clickbait headlines.
