FxSound Preset Cleanup

FxSound has been pretty cool for being an intermediate EQ that helped me clean up the muddy sound the bluetooth speaker I have produces. It isn't as powerful as VoiceMeeter but for me its is using a lot less CPU. It has too many presets though, I only want one preset per device I actually listen through. 

On Notifications: It makes no sense that iOS cannot be better

A perk from work is that I have an Apple Watch, iPad, Macbook Air, and an iPhone. People who know me probably know how this is pretty much a hell personalised for me to maximise grief. The iPhone is my primary device as it goes everywhere with me as a portal to the internet. The Macbook I use every day as I do all my work coding on it. But the iPad only gets used twice a month because to this day I still struggle to find a way to make it useful. Right now I am typing this post...

Why don't phones let you choose two sounds for notifications?

Dealing with people who send 10 short lines of text rapidly instead of one statement in paragraph form.

Creating a Vendor Index for VS Code (specifically for PHP Intelephense) to make code completion suck less

If you are working on a crappy server with VS Code remote development, you can easily OOM it with your code completion. This often manifests as it all just stops working and you never see another suggestion ever again. The cause tends to be the /vendor/ directory has a billion files in it thanks to the Google SDK, or being lazy allowing the project to install 45% of four different PHP frameworks instead of just writing 100 lines of code yourself. The settings for PHP Intelephense are woefully incapable of dealing with this in any manner I was happy with.

Getting GRIP from GOG to run on Windows 10 in 2025

Launching the game results in an immediate crash before that first cinematic is finished.

Getting Started with MapKit JS, also known as Apple Maps for web

This post exists only to document one thing that Apple has yet to document in about 5 years. How to actually initialise a damn map.

Did Apple nerf my AirPod Pros to make me desire buying the new ones? No they just needed a real cleaning.

There are threads on Reddit about degraded noise cancel performance on the AirPod Pros over time but most of them are full of crap. You likely just need to clean them. The problem manifests as, you put them in and cannot really tell if noise cancel is working or not. Or you seemingly cannot turn the noise cancel off despite it saying off. Maybe the bass blows too. At first you might think, oh they are in that crappy Adaptive mode that does nothing but make everything bad, and then after rotating the modes, zero change from any of the...

Can the iPad be a useful platform for PHP dev in 2024?

Fourteen years ago the first iPad came out and ever since that day, random venture capitalist startup flipper men have claimed it is a magical all-in-one wonder machine that was able to replace every regular computer. It still has not happened.

This is my new blog.

I told myself that this will be the one I use for more than a year. Built the editor on Editor.js this time but I wanted the framework to support the old HTML WYSIWYG still so it can be shared with my work projects.
