How to get screensaver to work on mac3/23/2023 ![]() ![]() Using the Mac Activity Monitor to see which process is “preventing sleep”Īt first I thought we’d have to go to the Mac command line to solve this problem, but then I read that you can see which processes are “preventing sleep” by using the Mac Activity Monitor application. This can happen because a programmer forget to set it back, or because the application crashed, or in the case of the example that follows, because the application was still running in the background. ![]() When this becomes a problem is when that setting doesn’t get set back to the way it was before. AirPlay and other applications do the same thing. ![]() This is what the Netflix programmers do, they tell MacOS to keep the screensaver from starting while a video is playing. One way to think of it is like this: Imagine that you’re watching Netflix on your Mac you don’t want the screensaver to kick in right in the middle of a good movie, right? As programmers, what we do is toggle a little MacOS setting that lets us keep the screensaver from starting. BackgroundĪs a small piece of background to this general problem, what’s probably happening is that there is a process (application) running on your Mac that’s preventing your screensaver from starting. Note: If you don’t care what’s causing the problem and you just want it to go away, you can try rebooting your Mac at this time. The rest of this tutorial explains the process of troubleshooting the problem, which can go way beyond AirPlay. When we did that, the AirPlay process was automatically restarted, but when it starts running again it doesn’t interfere with the screensaver. The solution to her particular problem was to kill the AirPlay process running on her Mac. From what I can tell, after she did that AirPlay doesn’t automatically shut itself off, and it was preventing the screensaver from starting. The short story of the problem (and solution) is that she had used Apple’s AirPlay to mirror her computer screen to her AppleTV. The same problem happened to a friend, and after a LOT of research, we were able to work through it to get her Mac screensaver working again. If you have a problem where your Mac/ macOS screensaver won’t start, I hope to be able to help you in this article. ![]()

How to update android studio manually3/22/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It is the official reference implementation of Java SE since version 7. The implementation is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2 with a linking exception. It is the result of an effort Sun Microsystems began in 2006. OpenJDK is a free and open-source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition. I’ll show you how to install that here, but if you use a different JDK that will be different for you. Also, I switched to AdoptOpenJDK instead of the traditional Oracle JDK. 10.3 Rio changed the versions of the SDK and NDK that it uses, so this guide won’t work with other versions. This assumes you already have RAD Studio, Delphi, or C++Builder 10.3 Rio already installed. So this is a great way to troubleshoot installation issues. ![]() I also occasionally run into people who are having trouble getting things installed for various reasons. Not to say you can’t do all of that with the automatic install, but sometimes it is nice to get your hands dirty. Also, this allows you to share SDKs between multiple installations, and also place the tools like ADB on your path for easy use. I’m a big believer in understanding the way the underlying systems work, and installing this way is more work, but you are able to see how everything works together. Still, sometimes it is nice to be able to manually install everything, which brings me to this guide. 10.3 Rio’s installer (I use and recommend the EXE/web over the ISO, since it is faster and more flexible) does a fantastic job of installing and setting everything up for Android development, without requiring any manual steps. ![]()

More fonts for inkscape3/21/2023 ![]() ![]() The Hershey Text extension from Evil Mad Scientist have been around for a while. Maybe I could find new and better solutions on how to use my single line fonts. I have now re-coded the openPath extension, but I wanted also to update myself on the topic. There have been a fundamental update to how extensions are handeled in Inkscape. I did have a solution for these fonts, but I realized that with version 1.0 of Inkscape my reopen-single-line-font no longer works. Read more about this in an old post of mine.

Single line fonts, oneline fonts, monoline fonts, stroke fonts, sketch fonts, engraving fonts – many names, but none of them are clear or specific. ![]() My intended use is sketching with my Silhouette cutting machine as a plotter.
