    • When Your Commanding Officer’s Midlife Crisis Arrives In a Tiny Tank (and a Party Hat)

      There are bad days at work, and then there are parade-in-the-pouring-rain-wearing-a-party-hat-on-a-toy-tank days. I present to you: The senior officer cosplay no one asked for.

      This image is a masterclass in existential military comedy. Here’s a guy who’s collected more medals than competent subordinates, decked out in full regalia…and yet, in a cruel twist of parade fate (or maybe Amazon Prime's "surprise me" feature), he’s been assigned command not of a battalion, but of a glorified kiddie ride that looks like it rolled off a carnival midway during monsoon season. And, just to twist the proverbial knife, he’s forced to wear the rainbow party hat of shame like some rain-drenched birthday clown with post-Victory Day anxiety.

      The facial expression? That is a man wrestling with past life decisions, questioning the value of every box he’s ever ticked and every superior he’s ever brown-nosed. That is the face of a...

    • When Your Military Parade Shows Up Like a Knockoff: Wish.com vs Reality

      This one goes out to anyone who's ever gambled on a too-good-to-be-true deal from Wish.com and ended up with something, well… less than advertised. You know the setup: what you see online is a masterpiece, but what lands on your doorstep looks like it survived a hurricane and a budget cut.

      Exhibit A: The Military Parade Edition.

      The meme above sums it up perfectly. On top, you’ve got the grand spectacle—China’s parade in Tiananmen Square. We’re talking drone-level synchronization, stadium-sized crowds in color-coordinated phalanxes, and enough patriotic spectacle to power a Marvel movie’s climax. There’s a float with Mao and enough pageantry to make the Queen jealous.

      Flip to Exhibit B—a... slightly more subdued affair. This is the parade you got from Wish.com: a few tanks, a half-hearted crowd, and lots of empty sidewalk real estate. If the first image is Olympic opening ceremony energy, the second...

    • Tips for Apple Intelligence (if you're out of intelligence)

       

      So you've heard about the new Siri feature, Apple Intelligence, and you're ready to dive in and make the most of it. But what if you're feeling a bit, well, lacking in the intelligence department? Don't worry, we've got you covered with some tips to help you navigate this new technology like a pro (even if you're feeling a bit like a tech newbie).

      Speak Clearly, Siri is a Good Listener

      First things first, when interacting with Apple Intelligence, make sure to speak clearly and enunciate your words. Siri may be smart, but she's not a mind reader (yet). So, if you want her to understand your commands, be sure to speak up and speak clearly. No mumbling allowed!

      Ask the Right Questions

      Don't be afraid to ask Siri anything that comes to mind. Whether you're looking for the weather forecast, the latest sports scores, or just a good...

    • SOLVED: Sierra/iOS 10 Handoff problems

      OS X Sierra and iOS 10 shown on a MacBook Pro, iPad and iPhone

      Handoff has been completely broken for 3-4 months.

      Since upgrading to Sierra and iOS 10 I've been having serious issues with Handoff. It just simply doesn't work at all.

      As a software developer I'm always excited to troubleshoot a problem. Even the simplest solutions can teach me about areas I was previously blind to. With Apple problems I usually search google, then find a forum with an adequate solution. We know Google can  know which pages are most popular, therefore the correct solution. If a user stops searching after reading the first result, they know it was the right result.

      This issue was different.  None of the early, or reliable links worked.

      Most solutions involve starting from the ground up and signing out, signing in, restarting the devices etc. But trying all...
