    • IINA for video. It’s a VLC alternative that’s much cleaner and mac native
    • Homebrew. It’s a terminal package manager. Super useful.
    • Magnet for window snapping. macOS has this built in now and there are open source alternatives, but I bought magnet for a few dollars when the alternatives didn’t exist.

    As a side note, the default z shell (zsh) should be good enough for you unless you have a specific reason you need bash instead.










  • This is general advice because I’m not too familiar with the SRAM product line.

    Any SRAM brifter should work so long as the cable pull is the same (I believe SRAM uses the same pull for everything) and it has the same number of gears. The SRAM rival 22 should be the closest/identical match because it’s 11 gears in back as well. It’s 22 for two gears in front and eleven in back for a total of 22

    As for the replacement process, you’ve got it pretty much spot on. You’ll likely want new cables and possibly bar tape, but that isn’t a strict requirement.




  • In September of 2023, Amazon announced the Echo Show 8 Photos Edition. It looked just like the regular Echo Show 8 smart display/speaker but cost $10 more. Why? Because of its ability to show photos on the home screen for as long as you want—if you signed up for a $2 monthly subscription to Amazon’s PhotosPlus. Now, about a year after releasing the Echo Show 8 Photos Edition, Amazon is announcing that it’s discontinuing PhotosPlus. That means Echo Show 8 Photos Edition users will be forced to see ads instead of their beloved pics.
