A great Windows 10 default file association alternative

If you've come from the Windows 3 era, and come through the ranks to the latest version of Windows of 10 or 11, you'll know that the default file association editor has changed recently, and is horrendous to use. I've discovered a recent little gem called 'Types' and it's simple, small and works. When I...

This morning my computer wouldn't boot - at all. I just had a boot loop essentially. After booting to the recovery options I did a Hard disk First Aid, and it recovered some Time Machine session corrections (or whatever they were called) and eventually I then restarted the computer, to which it actually loaded. Very...

Yieldnodes – background checking

I'd like to think I'm a big skeptic and I don't take risks - as a general rule. In the past, I've tried playing with forex, mining bitcoin, buying and selling crypto coins, and to be honest, it hasn't always gone well. Why? Well, I probably just got bored, saw a market drop and didn't...

Restarting the MacOS audio drivers

There's rare occasions when the virtual sound card that I use (Loopback - which is amazing by the way!) has a complete stoppage of sound. I can't play anything. I have no idea why, or what causes it. I try cycling through the system audio sound devices, of my Studio192, the built in speaker, my...
