    (Theme) Exploring the Leopard-esque look again

    Today is the my 42nd birthday and I have decided that a dumb decision is just dumb when stopping theming. It's what I like doing. SIP off - never an issue or problem being off anyway, so why would it ever be?! Previously I stated that I was done with theming forever.. turns out ... not true...

    Touch ID stops on late 2016 MBP

    I have a late '16 MBP running High Sierra and keep OS updated. For a while, I have found it necessary to clear Touch ID and reenter my finger scan because it periodically, and for no apparent reason, ceases to recognize the scan.

    WARNING: Do NOT install High Sierra from USB 1st time!

    This is a warning to save time for other people. The High Sierra 10.13.4 installer is bugged. It CANNOT install firmware updates when booted from USB. According to one thread below, it's due to an inability to "bless" the USB drive. In my opinion, it seems more like the USB-booted installer...
