https://eshop.macsales.com/blog/86405-how-to-make-finder-search-only-the-current-folder-by-default-in-macos-sonoma-and-ventura/ From Dennis Sellers at OWC, I have to admit I kbew how to do this but never had, but after trying it out for a while I ended uo sticking with it as my default search behavior.
From Chip Loder at AppleInsider. I have to admit I had no idea this was even possible.

From Amber Neeley at AppleInsider. Yes yes yes! We need to save Firefox which I still find the best and most customizeable browser. And Apple, Google and Microsoft all push their in house browsers over it, which has decimated it’s market share.
I have previously posted about how Apple removed Album Artwork from it’s playlist creation (it used to add 4 album covers) and you have to manually add it, but this post from MUD or Make Use Of has a solution that is an improvement on the album artwork. This is the shortcut the Playlist Cover Art Generator, which you can customize to show 4 to 47 covers and have text as well. You have to allow private scripts and large datasets, but it works fast and well. Here is one I created for my 1971-1972 playlist.
https://www.provideocoalition.com/a-new-extension-finally-makes-ixml-metadata-useful-in-adobe-premiere-pro OMG, why hasn't Adobe added this functionality if it can be so well added as an extension (though it should automatically show up as it does in DaVinci). iXML Renamer is awesome and should literally not be necessary, but it is, so pay a little and install it now! It will let you append the iXML data from your mixer into the track and clip names, which is what DaVinci does by default, and Adobe hides away in a panel that makes it all but useless. Of course every editor would like to know what each track from the Audio Mixer is! WTF ADOBE!!!
From Barbara Krasnoff at The Verge. I have covered RSS in the past, as it is how I prefer to get my news, though it has receded since Google gave up on it's RSS reader after dominating so much that there was really no competition. Personally I just use Feedly at this point, it works as well as Google every did, and it's apps are good to. And I got in on the ground floor so I have a lifetime subscription (upgraded to use AI). Even with a subscription though it would be worth it, as it is much more targeted than say Apple News, which currates for you, and I want my news from the sites that I want it from.

SoundQ is a free Sound Effects library applicationhttps://www.prosoundeffects.com/soundq/ that obviously ties into Pro Sound Effects libraries of sound effects, but can also be used on your own local sound effects without a subscription or purchasing sound effects from them. And you can edit the sound effects and send it into premiere that way, or send the original and it will even copy the sound effect to your library (though I wish I could get it to put it automatically place it in the same place away from the project file (where it puts it automatically) since I use PostHaste to make templated for my projects I don't want the sound files next to my project, but in the sound fx folder, but i will just have to manually move them. And since a free subscription gives your some free sound effects, and it is also integrates with Freesound.org you can't really complain. Honestly this is just great to have, as I have missed Apple Soundtrack since it was EOLed when Final Cut Pro 7 left all those years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPauA65-cxQ&pp=ygUGc291bmRx
From Simon Cohen at ditaltrends. This is pretty exciting actually, 1.6 petabits of data on an optical disc, that is like 200,000 GB. You could have basically uncompressed movies (which would look amazing) and backup would be incredible. Still this is mostly pie in the sky as they haven't created consumer grade lasers that would go through 100 layers of disc, and since everyone is so into streaming. So it likely won't be consumer or be used for movies, which will keep it from being cheap, and it if it too expensive as storage there is no point, though I still would love to have it.
