  • Even-dimensioned cubes (4x4x4, 6x6x6, …) are harder because they introduce some parity errors. Odd-dimensioned keep their fever center piece in the right spot.

    Otherwise the size just makes it more tedious. I keep up with a 4x4x4. I had a gigaminx dodecahedron that I solved a few times, but it just made my hands tired from the weight and kept popping out pieces because of their tinyness.

    I decide what code I run on my computer.

    A few years ago I had some peripheral that started iTunes Music.app every time I plugged it in. (Bluetooth headphones, I think). As I don’t use it, and there was no way to disable it I figured i could just delete it.

    Nope! Music.app is a system application on a read-only partition shadowed on your root filesystem. Apparently it is possible by booting with the partition in read-write developer mode, but you’ll get to do it all over again with every update.
