I was looking at the recently protected posts on SO earlier, @Shog9 ... I couldn’t understand why some of them were protected at all - one had had no activity in months other than votes. We need to do better to help people understand how/when not to use the feature but also to understand what they think protecting the question will do. If (for example) they think it’s going to stop new votes because they’re tired of notifications about 5-year-old questions, that’d help us see how to improve notifications rather than protecting posts. — Catija ♦ yesterday

I now genuinely hate podcasts sync mechanism on Mojave and earlier.

How do I listen to what I downloaded on iPhone, on my Mac without using mobile data again ?

Q: I hate my new MacBook, with a passion and can't figure out how to customize the touch interfaces for my tremor

I have essential tremor. This means that the slightest unintentional graze on the Touch Bar or Touchpad on my MacBook Pro can have extremely undesirable consequences. So how can I change the sensitivity on those input devices and yet retain the key functionality of those devices? The key functio...

I hope there’s a a solution to moderate the trackpad, I can’t imagine not having someone with me when I tried to learn accessibility, voiceover, switch control on iOS. I’ve never tried learning those on macOS.

It was very hard and tool a lot of patience on iOS to get some traction for me

Hi @DavidHammen - I hope our edits aren’t taking away your voice. I want to support your very well founded dis-satisfaction and if hate and pain need to be in the title, please ping me if your edits to return the proper emotion to the post get reverted.

Hi and welcome @MarshmallowRose

rather than chat in comments, can we answer here why I closed your question just now?

I wonder if you just need to run your script in a debugger if you can’t change it to MCVE where you can specify inputs...

I am going to put a bounty on David's question after two days if he can provide me the text I should put in the custom message and coordinates in updating the post if any new info should be added.

Those sentences you've quoted from the OP do not make any sense and why the question should be put on hold or closed until the post is rewritten in a comprehensible manner! — user3439894 1 hour ago

@user3439894 you’re right - that should probably be closed, especially since there’s an answer as best as can be made without op improving it significantly

Q: iMessage checker

I'm trying to do a number checker in imessage. We all know that there is no such api, so I'm trying to use the tools at hand. The main took with past issues on this site on this topic. I made a loop that inserts a number into a string, and by the color of the number (blue - registered, red - m...
