How to make Gutenberg Galleries link to Media File by default
When you drag more than one image into a WordPress Post, the Gutenberg editor is nice enough to arrange your pictures as a gallery. By default however, the link target of the thumbnails it generates is set to “none”, which means that when users click on your images, they’re not seeing a full size version. Instead, nothing happens. That’s probably not what 99% of all users expect to happen. It is possible to change this in the sidebar to either Media File or Attachment Page, however if you’re like me and tend to...
read moreHow to remove the cursor overlay in OBDUCTION
I like grabbing video footage from OBDUCTION for holding loops and phenomenal backgrounds from time to time. However, by default, the big white cursor circle is in the middle of the picture. That’s handy for interactions of all kinds, but for a full screen video capture, I’d rather it would be switched off for a few seconds. I had done this successfully a few weeks ago and have since forgotten (of course). Now that I’ve just remembered through trial and error, I thought I’d best make a note of it. enter the...
read moreHow to revoke active Discord Invites
Discord invitations can either be set to expire automatically after a given amount of time, or they can be set to “never expire”. The latter ones are great if you give the link to select users only, however sometimes you might just want to disable them manually. Here’s how to do that in Discord for Desktop (Windows and Mac). Right-click on your server’s icon and choose Server Settings. In here, on the sidebar at the bottom left, find the Invites section, under User Management. This will show you a list of your...
read moreUsing Scene Collections in OBS Studio
A while ago I made a video about how to use OBS Studio for Screen Recordings. If you’re new to OBS, I recommend watching it to see how this thing works. I’ve been meaning to make an update to this and explain how to switch from one scene to another, but since it’s a complex process I decided to write this article instead. It might be easier to follow in words and screenshots. Scenes are collections of items that appear on your (captured) screen. They allow you to craft something you’d like to show to your viewers, for...

read morePairing an Apple Keyboard with Windows 10
In this episode I’ll show you how to successfully pair an Apple Wireless Magic Keyboard (first generation, MC184B/A) with Windows 10 (Version 1809). I’ve found so much conflicting information on the web, so I’m showing you what worked for me – in May 2019. I’m using a HP Z800 Workstation here, with a no-frills Belkin F8T013 (early millennial vintage).
read morePairing two Logitech Devices with the same USB Receiver
In this episode I’ll show you how to use the same USB receiver for two Logitech devices. I’m using a K360 Keyboard and an M325 Mouse. Both devices come with their own (unifying) receiver, and with a piece of software I’ll combine them to use the same receiver. This allows me to free up one USB port on my computer and avoid conflicts with other devices at the same time. The software is made by Logitech and can be found here: https://support.logitech.com/en_gb/software/unifying

Every once in a while, users notice that the File Editor in WordPress may disappear. This has been happening for many years, and although I’ve read about this issue, it’s never happened to me – until very recently. I’m talking about the options under Appearance – Theme Editor and Plugins – Plugin Editor. When these options are no longer showing up, it’s usually because a measure of security has ben added to your WordPress configuration file. Some plugins do this, but also some other security measures...
read moreInstalling Windows 10 on a MacBook Pro (2011) without Bootcamp
I love my old MacBook Pro. It does everything I want for a portable coding, writing and occasional editing device. I’ve had it since 2011 and it’s still going strong. Apple however doesn’t want to suport it anymore. I’m stuck with macOS High Sierra, without an option to upgrade without shadowy patches. Even if I could keep up with Mojave and beyond, the hardware might just not be fast enough anymore to give me an enjoyable experience. So I thought, perhaps I’ll put in a new hard drive that I had in another old...
