Note that Bill Cosby and Roman Polanski are still members of the Motion Picture Academy.

So I got a new 5K iMac. It’s noticeably faster than the older model, mostly because of the doubled GPU memory, and SSD improvements.

The old one was called “5KofGlory.” This one is called “5K5Glorious.”

I should make Vin Diesel doing manly things with cars my background to really complete the theme.

It’s damn annoying how much effort you have to put forth these days to stop computers and apps from attempting to save to the “cloud.” (Really, just someone else’s insecure data center with full NSA/FBIA/CIA access baked in.)

I don’t want to save a single goddamn file to the cloud. Not now and not ever. I rip all that garbage out of the OS right away.

And if you’re saving your passwords in the cloud through LastPass or something like that? What the hell? Why would you ever do that? That’s not going to be stolen. It’s already stolen and you just don’t know about it.

Pretty cool command for MacOS:

caffeinate

If you open a terminal and enter that, it’ll keep your Mac from going to sleep until you do a CTRL-C.

Can also control with some options:

caffeinate -u -t 10800

That’ll prevent your Mac from sleeping for 10800 seconds, or three hours.
