Diary - Nov 19 to Nov 25 2022

Sat Nov 19 2022

Sleep 0230 to 1030. (8 hours)

  • I was trying to get info about Varsity Tutors and so I started filling out their survey cause I thought that was the register account process. Then I realized it was a marketing callback info so I stopped without completing but now I'm getting emails and calls. At least it's good I only gave out my home phone number. And I guess the thing is I never completed the account registration so I don't have an account I can log into to set my communication preferences.

Sun Nov 20 2022

Sleep 0330 to 1130. (8 hours)

  • For some reason got signed up to Amazon Business Communications and boy do they send a lot of emails.

Mon Nov 21 2022

Sleep 0115 to 1030. (9-1/4 hours)

  • AirPods Max once again won't connect to my devices so will try factory reset. I'm eyeing buying a Beats Studio3 Wireless on sale at $150. It would be my third Studio3 because they're kind of fragile as a consequence of being lightweight plastic. Mostly would use it as backup for when AirPods Max are recalcitrant so hopefully will last longer than 2 to 3 years.

Tue Nov 22 2022

Sleep 0100 to 1000. (9 hours)

  • Upgraded to RapidWaver Classic (Black Friday sale for $34 including tax). By default it adds a Made in RapidWeaver floating badge on every page which you can turn off in app preferences but only for new projects. For existing projects you have to go every page and unselect Credit RapidWeaver. I don't crediting on front page but not every other page... Re-upgrading the old file seems to fix the issue.

Wed Nov 23 2022

Sleep 0130 to 0900. (7-1/2 hours)

  • Received bivalent booster shot.
  • Drove to mom and dad's. 3 hours with lots of slow (though not stop) traffic.
  • Got my AirPods Pro working again so really unsure of getting backup Beats wireless headphones.
  • Here's an article on finding if an app uses Electron (i.e. it's a web app with bundled Chrome engine). Boils down to running a terminal command:
    • cd /Applications ; sudo find . -name "*Electron Framework.framework"
      • ./Developer/Postman.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework
      • ./Fiddler Everywhere.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework
      • ./VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/VMware Fusion Applications Menu.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework
      • ./Authy Desktop.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework
      • ./Discord.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework
  • I forgot Discord is an Electron app. Of the above apps Authy is the only ok one since I launch, use it, then quit. The others are keep open apps.

Thu Nov 24 2022

Sleep 2330 to 1000. 1 hour nap. (11-1/2 hours)

  • C3 and Steph arrived in time for Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey, mashed potatoes, a Peruvian potato/peas/beets dish, yams with honey and melted marshmallows, apple pie and vanilla ice cream.

Fri Nov 25 2022

Sleep 0030 to 0300, 0530 to 1015. (7-1/4 hours)

  • AirPods Max once again not working so will have to factory reset which is also not easy. Fed up with this behavior bought another Beats Studio 3 Wireless with 2 years AppleCare ($193 total). When it works I'll continue using my AirPods Max but I need a backup for when it doesn't work since it can take a day or two of trying for factory reset to finally work.
