AirPod Max stuck at 74% battery
I’ve noticed my AirPod Max being stuck at ~74% battery and not wanting to charge any further. It’s running the latest firmware and I usually charge them on a (legit) usb-A-to-lightning cable connected to my monitor. Even keeping them connected charging overnight would somehow max out at 74%. There are a few Reddit posts with…

Screen going black with AutoCAD (LT)
I am not sure what is the problem — I’ve upgraded Shan’s 27″ 2k monitor to a 32″ 4k monitor and AutoCAD LT recently updated from 2021 to 2022. Shan‘s been using a 2017 i5 NUC (NUC7i5BNB) with 32Gb RAM using the onboard GPU. Something that should be plenty for a bit of Windows, Chrome,…

Macbook Air M1 issues
I recently got my mom a Macbook Air M1, upgrading from a 2010 Macbook Pro (High Sierra). When migrating over from High Sierra to Big Sur, using Migration Assistant (my Synology TimeMachine kept on failing — but besides that, migration went smoothly) two issues came up that required calling Apple. But first off I noticed…

Apple Watch OS7 stopped showing the date

Beyond Beef Lasagna
The last (and only time) I posted a recipe here, was 7 years ago. Wow. As we’re trying to eat less meat in general, we‘ve (Shan and I) been experimenting with vegetarian dishes. This lasagna has been eaten by a few people now and every time the reviews are pretty damn good. 🙂 It comes…

Ideal travel router: GL-AR750S
Right. With the pandemic and all none of us are going to travel much but still… About a year ago I purchased myself an OpenWRT router to use on the plane and in hotels. And so far I really like both the device and the Hong Kong based brand (launching new and updated products, and…

Raspberry Pi 4 + SSD
All right. With the release of the new RPi4 with 8Gb of RAM I had to get myself one to see if it was already a viable desktop replacement for surfing and emails. While a SD card works fine for certain tasks (things that don’t require a lot of IO) — for a desktop that’s…
