Because the battery was getting very bad:
Note the battery adhesive was so strong that one of my plastic opening tools broke.

Yes it is compatible: [WayBack] Andreas @AndyHTech: Following More Why is there no #IDEFixPack for #Delphi Berlin 10.1 Update 2 ? Just use the one that was released for the RTM version, it works for Up1&Up2.

Apple TV needs iTunes
A while ago, my model A1469 3rd generation Apple TV had a slowly blinking white light but nothing displayed over HDMI any more, so I searched for Apple TV slow blinking white and
Reading Restoring your Apple TV (when its white light is flashing) | Comics and gadgets, I opted for the first option: a soft-restart of the Apple TV. To do that you have to press menu+down on the Apple Remote at the same time for 5+ seconds, then wait for the Apple TV to restart. That initially did show an image over HDMI which later disappeared. I didn’t get the image at first as I thought it was looking for iTunes media over USB (like from an iPhone or iPad), so I waited for a time-out to occur.
After a while that image disappeared and the Apple TV white LED started rapidly flashing. Not good.
Later I found the image was portraying a USB cable not having a connection to an iTunes logo and some dark grey text on a black background pointing to support.apple.com/appletv/restore.
I didn’t see that at first as the room was a bit brightly lit since we had a lot of sun that day so this non-descriptive image with grey on black UX worked really well.
Conclusion: I had to restore the Apple TV which I thought would be straight-forward as it had been connected to my iCloud account.

Just in case it’s not enabled yet: How to enable JavaScript in your browser and why
It even has some html to redirect to it, which I’ve replaced with the wayback machine (and put into a gist as WordPress kills noscript tag blocks and everything they contain.

I needed it as at a client site, one of the embedded devices would show the message “Javascript is required to use this web portal” in various web browsers so I had to check the JavaScript status in each browser.

Every time I need to use JavaScript there’s this tiny voice in the back of my head “Please don’t”, for instance because of
JavaScript has two sets of equality operators:
===and!==, and their evil twins==and!=.
This time it did it again: I used JavaScript. My need was to verify a basic URI in JavaScript, so I wrote this function based on RFC 3986 [WayBack] which in Appendix B has a nice regular expression: ^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?
function isValidUri(uri){
var uriRegExPattern = "^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?";
var uriRegEx = new RegExp(uriRegExPattern);
return (uriRegEx.test(uri));
}
It would crash. But JavaScript is JavaScript, so even a site like JSFiddle wouldn’t show an error (later I found out that enabling the console on http://jsbin.com/wamavacuco/edit?html,console,output does show the error in the console complete with stack trace).

The main Atom menu allows you to change both Config and Stylesheet
I’ve been using Atom as a text editor on Mac OS X for quite a while now, but never delved into the detailed settings.
Somehow, that version wasn’t the type of program that auto-updates itself, nor notifies the user of new updates (it only did that for outdated packages). This seems to be fixed for Mac OS X, but not yet for Linux.
So I hadn’t noticed my version was really old version, which meant that showing “Invisible” characters like spaces and tabs had a high opacity.
Since Atom is highly hackable, it wasn’t hard to find a solution for the old version, which involved changing config files (also accessible from the menu, see the screenshot on the right):
What struck me is that searching for this kind of information got me directed to solutions for old Atom versions. Apparently my Google-fu isn’t good enough, or Google has trouble estimating relevancy of Atom information.
What helped was looking at this poart of the config.cson file:
editor:
invisibles: {}
showInvisibles: true
Back when searching,
The latter lead me to these interesting pages:
