Luckily I do not have to transfer large files to others often, but now that WeTransfer has been out for a while, I think Wormhole is a good replacement:
[Wayback/Archive] Wormhole – Simple, private file sharing
Like KPN Filetransfer below, anyone can use it.
Links on KPN Filetransfer, especially because of the white paper, but also the WeTransfer Terms of Service change that made it unusable for many, and some other alternatives like Send (which you can self-host):

Somehow the default dpi setting on my ARM MacBook Pro was 300dpi.
This caused all the specific printer settings saves (mostly permutations of N-up and single/double-sided) to have become 300dpi. Fine for scalable output (vector graphics and fonts), but awful for bitmap images.
[Wayback/Archive] How to change default printing dpi – Apple Community explains how to set the default:
But it fails to explain that the default is not retroactively applied to saved settings.

Planning and feedback loops in extreme programming
TL;DR:
Using LLM in the software development process is shifting the feedback cycle to the top of the development cycle in the graph on the right. This is a costly endeavour.
LLM deliver output that is statistically likely, decreasing the chance to incorporate outliers as they are statistically unlikely but form the burden of software development.
[Wayback/Archive] Mumbly_Bum comments on AI is working great for my team, and y’all are making me feel crazy
Most of our tickets are now (initially) generated using Claude + the Atlassian MCP, and that’s allowed us to capture missed requirements up-front.
I think this is the key disconnect (even taking into account the notes from meetings) in understanding our jobs and why we’re not going away and why LLMs create harm in delivery.

Unlike SKYNET, actual Skynet is still far away: according to Google AI, there are t’s in both kilogram and kilogramme.
Screenshots mine as the Wayback Machine does not run the Google AI:

It’s a short term weather side-effect for which data centers are under dimensioned because data centers don’t have long term planning, right?
Narrator: it’s the climate changing way faster than anyone designing data centers anticipated.

Most solutions mention to disable all “Smart features” in order to not have the AI summary in Gmail, but that disables a lot more than just the AI summary.
Luckily I found the desktop solution in [Wayback/Archive] I want to turn off ONLY the AI Summary in Gmail. – Gmail Community to which I added steps, links and screenshots:
