  2. CW: Human+AI

    We have all been there. You are working on something important and the spinning beach ball appears. Before you force a restart try these steps to fix a frozen Mac safely.

  3. Spent way too long today trying to take a scrolling screenshot on Mac.

    Turns out macOS still doesn't have this built in. Windows, iOS, Android all have it. Mac? Nope.

    Quickest free fix: Firefox has it built in. Right-click → Take Screenshot → Save full page. Done.

    For non-browser content (Slack, docs, etc.), Shottr is free and works great.

    Wrote up all 8 methods I found: screensnap.pro/blog/scrolling-

  11. I don't know if you knew but on the macOS Command-Tab switcher if you keep Command held down you can quit apps by tapping Q. For Firefox this just flat out quits the app without asking if i want to keep the 6,137 tabs open. Neat (ish).

  22. Hey y’all! How’s everyone doing? Hope all is well! 🙌🏽

    Quick question for folks using **Google Drive** on iPhone and Mac:
    If someone shares a folder with you, how do you get it to appear in the main section of Google Drive (like in "My Drive") and not just under "Shared with me"?

    For example, on my Mac, I have Google Drive set up to show in Finder, but it only shows the *My Drive* folder—none of the shared ones—unless I use the web version. On the iPhone app, I only see shared folders in the *Shared* tab, unless I create a shortcut to that folder.

    What do y’all think? Any tips or tricks?
