Today on AppAddict - Permissions Reset 2 - Free Troubleshooting Tool - One of the first steps in troubleshooting a misbehaving Mac for many years has been to repair the disk permissions, currently a feature of Disk First Aid, accessed through Disk Utility or the terminal if you are savvy. That can be a bit of overkill if you are primarily concerned... - appaddict.app/post/permissions - #Mac #macOS #Apple #AppAddict

“Some AI improvements to voice assistant Siri will be delayed until 2026, Apple had said earlier this month without giving any reason for the delays.”

New York Post · Apple replaces Siri boss in AI shakeup after CEO Tim Cook loses confidence: reportBy Reuters

Spent an hour wondering why my printer wasn't working on Mac Mini M1. It's usually been reliable. Apparently apple nuked all the drivers in an update. It always working with the Samsung C430 driver, but apparently that driver has just been nuked without warning.

Next, I compared the good and bad files in Hex Fiend. The good ones had an "lh1" signature in the header, while the bad ones had an "lh5."

Okay, clearly they were using different compression methods. But how could I extract the lh5 ones?

Googling turned up this Keka issue on GitHub --
github.com/aonez/Keka/issues/1 -- which mentions a different problematic Atari ST LZH file on Discmaster and how dexvert handles it fine.

Interesting discovery today ... Came across a cache of 20 issues of "Express Times", an electronic newsletter for sysops running BBS Express! ST software on the Atari ST.

But all 20 issues were .LZH archives. I tried to open them on my Mac using Keka, but only about half of them worked.

So I booted Hatari and used UNLZH, but it also began throwing CRC errors for several files.
