The Phoscon app and switches
Saturday, November 28, 2020 at 7:10 PM UTC
Today I noticed a weird issue using the Phoscon app. For all who are not aware: this is the software that is used to setup smart stuff on the Conbee Zigbee gateway.

Nope. The MBP 16" 2019 still sucks
Saturday, November 28, 2020 at 12:22 AM UTC
Remember when I thought my issues with the MBP 16" were history after the macOS 11 update?

Finally fixed - thermal issues on my Mac
Monday, November 16, 2020 at 8:23 PM UTC
Accidentally I noticed two things after the update to macOS 11 (Big Sur) that drove me nuts during the past year that I am using the 16" MacBook Pro and that now seem to be fixed: fan craziness and mouse dongle stupidity.
If you followed this blog you learned I had to make compromises with my setup, the cables, how the machine resides on my desk and with software I can use without having t [...]
