HOW 155: A Cure for Mac Envy

Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…

What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!

I never knew Command Pallet was a thing! That’s super neat. I rarely update PowerToys on my desktop haha. I used to update it frequently on my work machine (before it became a Mac hah)

I use it almost daily for the “paste as plain text” option from the Advanced Paste utility. I also use the power management tool to force my PC to not sleep/hibernate. There are an awful lot of utilities in there now these days, but I rarely find myself craving any of them, so I keep most of the rest disabled… knowing I can get it back on a minutes notice if I find a need for it.

I use fancyzones everyday for my window management and I use powertoys run a lot for basic math. At work I used to use PowerToys awake along with everything(listed earlier), but now I use the Mac terminal command “caffeinate -d” which is the same thing.
