Volume knob with a quick push for muting is always a classic. If I’m on a set up with two knobs, I also like including next track, previous track, and pause/play as the secondary knob.

Hmm… WinAMP-style visualizer with an intensity based off of your WPM? Or maybe a character face that looks drowsy when idle, but reacts when you start typing? A breakout or Tetris game that plays itself? Snarky quotes making vague observations about your current typing tasks? (“Wow, look at all those numbers, someone must be a math wizard.”)

I had a batch of custom keycaps come in from FK Custom, so I decided to do a quick side-by-side comparison with them. Don’t forget, their custom keycap contest is still going on for another week or so!

Grilling lemons is awesome! It makes the flavors a bit more complex and loosens up the juices. Plus it can add a bit of smokiness to anything. Tossing some broccoli and a lemon on the grill while cooking burgers or steaks is a great way of adding a slightly lighter side to a cookout.

It ditches the mayo and makes a dressing with bacon fat, vinegar, and whole grain mustard. It’s one of those great “more than the sum of its parts” recipes. https://www.seriouseats.com/german-potato-salad

I don’t cook a ton of pasta at home, so at this point I’m just glad I got to try it without having to buy six pounds of it online. They definitely got a lot of hype, but I can see the shape working in the right saucy dish.

Get a bug guy to come spray the exterior of your place. They can use stronger stuff then folk’s indoor life hacks. Eventually they’ll stop getting in.

Try plugging the Mac in without a dock.

A lot of docks out there are DisplayLink based, and you may need to install their driver to get the higher refresh rate.

Also try switching up which type cable you’re plugging into the dock. Most dock manuals have an esoteric support table based on whether or not you plugged in a DisplayPort or HDMI cable.

Some dongles are limited to 4K@30. Like this one. You’ll want to double-check the specs of your adapter. They do make DP/HDMI to USB-C cables for what it’s worth. USB-C is a frustrating spec because you can run a lot of different standards over it. Even with cables you’ll want to make sure they’re not running some older spec.

I just double-checked your monitor’s manual. It looks like HDMI 1 can only do 30hz. Only HDMI 2 and the DP ports support 60hz. Were you trying to connect through HDMI 1?
