  • 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 / 4 months ago
  • Is there an app that does this Windows feature?
    Want something free that's better than tiling on Windows? Yabai. Source: 6 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 / 8 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 / 12 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 / 12 months ago

  • pushbullet website
    I can't access anymore the pushbullet.com from my computer. I tried with chrome, firefox. Source: 11 months ago
  • A couple questions about the Firefox extension
    Ah I see. Opening a tab isn't a problem, it's just that it opens pushbullet.com instead of https://www.pushbullet.com/#devices to see the text directly. I came up with a workaround with the "Redirector" extension that replaces the url. Source: 12 months ago
  • Not running on PC?
    Same issue. I have uninstalled (Revo) and installed 5 times and still can't get Pushbullet to work. Now it seems I have to got to pushbullet.com to read and send SMS, instead of doing it local on my PC with Windows 10. Seems to have happened in last 2 days. I can use it via internet access, but what happened to local functionality??? Source: about 1 year ago
  • Pushbullet.com synching SMS but Chrome extension is not.
    I go to the pushbullet.com web site and they are all there as they should be. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Large chunks of history missing, File push not possible anymore
    Further when I go to pushbullet.com it doesn't show my recent devices. Although it does show it to me over the pushbullet icon in the toolbar. There are large gaps in my push history on pushbullet.com. Source: about 2 years ago
