  • Why Android developers no longer need Windows USB drivers
    Link for reference: > Bingxing Wang's awesome [Windows Precision Touchpad Implementation for Apple MacBook family/Magic Trackpad 2] driver[0]. [0] https://github.com/imbushuo/mac-precision-touchpad. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
  • My first build, wireless mx corne.
    Can confirm. Works perfectly. Drivers are on github. Source: 5 months ago
  • From the scale of 1 to 10 how possible is it to use touchpad from Z16 via USB ?
    I would be lazy and just get a (used) Magic Trackpad and install the GitHub Multitouch drivers. (I use mine with my ThinkPad sometimes and it works pretty good). Source: 8 months ago
  • are there any tools/softwares that slightly improve how well windows works on a bootcamped Mac?
    I always install the Precision Touchpad Driver. This might depend on the age of your machine, though. I think Boot Camp drivers for the last Intel generation include this by default. (But I don't know that for certain. I do know that 2012 Macbook Pro sure doesn't.). Source: 11 months ago
  • Long Night of Solace
    Edit: do you use https://github.com/imbushuo/mac-precision-touchpad when you're using that trackpad with windows? It's an excellent driver. :). Source: 12 months ago

  • Ask HN: Best Hacks for a Ultrawide Monitor?
    I have a 49 inch CRG9 and the best recommendation for window management is Yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai). Yabai is a greedy window management solution that tries to fit opened applications in given space and skhd let's you easily jump between those using keyboard shortcuts. This has massively improved my ultrawide experience. Only disclaimer is, configuring yabai has a slight learning curve. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • Is there an app that does this Windows feature?
    Want something free that's better than tiling on Windows? Yabai. Source: 5 months ago
  • macOS Containers v0.0.1
    SIP is a feature that protects you from malicious actors with root (admin) access on your device. After they've encrypted your photos and drives and changed your passwords, it prevents them from making your machine unbootable by deleting or altering system binaries. As a side effect of this protection, you give up certain freedoms to customize your system. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
  • Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
    This is disproven by the fact that Yabai [1] can instantly swap spaces with SIP disabled. [1] https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
    I feel the same way. I would much prefer no animation at all, and an instant transition to another space. Apparently this is possible with [yabai](https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai), but it requires disabling system integrity protection which I am personally uncomfortable with. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
