Quick Tip: get the large clock in iOS 26
Thursday, September 11, 2025 at 12:02 PM UTC
Ever wondered how to get the large clock on your lock screen with the new iOS 26? Well, I did, too - but found it!

The reason was the font I chose which in that screenshot is the 2nd in the list - I like the rounded edges more than the default one, but this [...]
Quick Tip: Windows Auto Login
Friday, September 5, 2025 at 6:02 PM UTC
I am not posting a lot about tweaking Windows, so please appreciate this one
When I have to use Windows I only use it in a VM on my Mac with Parallels Desktop. These machines are just tools to develop with HCL software, so security is something I care less in this setting. I wondered if it's possible to login automatically to the Windows VM - and actually it is.
