If you ever encountered JPG files "not working" on Mac OS but at the same time having no issues on Windows, here's how to "fix" those using a HEX editor.

Fixing "corrupted" JPG files on Mac OS
Sometimes when I save certain images from particular imageboards, I cannot preview or open those on Mac OS. They work fine on Windows, but I cannot even edit those on Mac OS using graphic editors. If you ever saw this infinitely loading preview, then you…
I've noticed recently that Little Snitch gives me this kind of rule requests for some applications, and it's impossible to set the rule to be valid forever.
Having googled for "App Translocation", I discovered that it is enough just to move the application in question with Finder (apparently, that's important) somewhere and back and then it will run normally, and Little Snitch will allow you to create "forever" rules for it.
I mostly use ForkLift, so if it's really about Finder, then probably that's how I got this app being "stuck" in Translocation mode.

Some tiny creations I've come up with recently:
1. A Mac OS service for getting media information about streams in a video file, mostly in order to find out whether it has subtitles;
2. An Alfred workflow that shortens URLs using TinyURL.

Finally found the time to investigate how to connect to the internet via Huawei E3372 modem on Mac OS using only the native tools.

After BlueMail e-mail client sued Apple for removing BlueMail application from the App Store, I've learnt about BlueMail's existence. And since I am constantly looking for a The Bat! alternative on Mac OS, I installed BlueMail to try it out.
And I uninstalled it a couple of minutes later, because:
1. It is based on Electron, so it automatically goes to hell;
2. Apparently, adding an e-mail account means that BlueMail will store your credentials on BlueMail servers. I can't even start to explain how retarded that is. As far as I remember, Spark e-mail client does the same.
Can you believe this fucking "modern" "software development".

There are some weird issues with matplotlib animation backend on Mac OS, while on Windows and Linux it just works out of the box.
