System Time, Clocks and Their Syncing in macOS
Mac timekeeping relies on accurate system clocks. To ensure synchronization, Macs should connect to Apple's Time Server automatically via the Date & Time settings, allowing for auto timezone adjustments through Location Services. Issues can arise if Location Services are not enabled, especially in Virtual Machines. Accurate time is crucial for file timestamps and security; misalignment can cause problems, particularly when using VPNs. Since macOS 10.13, synchronization is managed by a service called timed, and users can also use the sntp command for manual adjustments. It's generally better for clocks to be slightly slow rather than backdating, which can disrupt time order and processing.

macOS: Share a Link That Jumps to a Specific Line on a Webpage
Share specific webpage passages using Safari's “Copy Link with Highlight” feature, available in Safari 18 on macOS Sequoia+. Highlight text, right-click, and select the option to generate a link that directs others to that highlighted section. This feature, similar to Google's Scroll to Text Fragment, simplifies sharing targeted content, though it may be inconsistent on iOS.

I Built the Perfect AI Robot. Then I Pulled the Plug.
Built AI assistant, then shut it down due to security flaws. Experimented with OpenClaw, an autonomous AI for tasks but found vulnerabilities. Despite potential, it's not secure for personal use—need human oversight. Future secure AI assistants could revolutionize work, but current tech isn't ready.

S21e05: That Whole Moltbot/OpenClaw YOLOing AI Agents Thing
Extreme TLDR: Dan discusses the development of AI agents, particularly OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot), which allows users to empower AI with personal data for task automation. These agents create “skills” to perform tasks but raise privacy concerns. Despite risks of misuse and security flaws, users find value in automating complex tasks. The balance between utility and risk remains contentious, emphasizing societal responsibility in tech adoption.
