Matrix Data Tech

Small IT solution provider with a focus on open source and Mac solutions. We still do web/email hosting too! (Sometimes we wage war against printers....)

@mathiiias123 @OpenAI @OpenAIDevs We were getting it too. Gave up, took a nap, came back, and it worked.

It was quite a long nap too.

@MactelecomN How many times have you seen them?

[Matrix Data Tech @matrixdatatech]

@BasicAppleGuy We were kind of hoping for a re-visit of the "Weed, CA" joke again. :)

I was also excited about this, even if Gemini was somehow unable to pull up this very same news. (Grok got it, though.)

I love #WWDC time. So much excitement.

macOS 26.5.1 was just released. Notes say: "This update addresses an issue for enterprise users where Macs with an M5 chip could unexpectedly shut down when using certain content filtering network extensions."

An odd bug indeed. I'm sure there are other things. Enjoy!

Sacramento is topping out at 74°F tomorrow, which is practically hoodie weather. Data is still disappearing for reasons unrelated to temperature.
Backups: still the boring answer.

(Also, we love hoodies.)

@redroomrantings Are you referring to a digital "looks like my scribble" signature or "This is my fancy certificate based digital stamp" kind of signature?

Since World Backup Day, we��ve had heat waves, cold snaps, and almost everything in between. None of them were responsible for the latest data loss. Test your backups *and* your restores.

AI is advancing quickly, but it’s not the one tracing a bad cable through a 1950s bungalow in East Sacramento. Matrix Data Technology stays focused on the practical side of keeping things running.

Sad to see Tim Cook step down, but excited for what’s ahead. For those of us who grew up with Steve Jobs and Apple, it really does feel like the end of an era.
Here's to the crazy ones. 🍻

@DollarBill1912 @BasicAppleGuy Ah ha, thank you. I see it now. Took me a while. This was a fun graphic to get my glasses and zoom in on. Well done. :)

[Matrix Data Tech @matrixdatatech]

We're pretty excited about John Ternus taking on the new role at Apple. Definitely looking forward to the upcoming years.

It's been a fun ride so far.

@eastdakota @Cloudflare My dream of setting DNS to 1.2.3.4 may finally come true? :)

[Matrix Data Tech @matrixdatatech]

It's World Backup Day! Are you also testing your backup sets and testing restores?

People: "Google Gemini is the BEST. Everyone else is fighting for second place!"

Gemini: *barfs*

I was working on something in Xcode 26.3 and couldn't help but notice that the location in Simulator defaulted to Apple... but it was One Infinite Loop and not Apple Park.
It also shows your location as being out in the parking lot, which was amusing.

@aaronp613 Sound quality: excellent.
Build quality: solid.
Ability to stay seated when a cat decides to rub its entire body against it for no reason whatsoever: needs improvement.

[Matrix Data Tech @matrixdatatech]

We still have one of these sitting here. It's come in handy for reading old backup CDs that we thought were lost. Also, I still love the design. Except that mouse.
