Tumblr media
When I got to this photo in Katrina's collection of vintage family imagery, I was pretty stumped as to how to approach it.
There is a major problem when you zoom in to 100%.
Tumblr media
The paper it was developed on has little micro bumps. When it was scanned, the light from the scanner caused a highlight on one side of the bump and a shadow on the other. This causes a pattern which is nearly impossible to eliminate using traditional techniques.
The easiest way to fix this is actually quite clever. You scan it once, then turn it upside down and scan it again. The second pass reverses the side the highlight and shadow appear on, so you can combine the images in Photoshop and blend them together, essentially canceling out the bumps. It's weirdly analogous to noise canceling headphones.
But I don't have access to the physical copy of this image.
So... now what?
Enter Fast Fourier Transform or FFT.
This is a filter that uses extra fancy math to recognize patterns in the image and eliminate them. There is a pretty good filter for Photoshop, but it does not work easily with newer Macs with Apple Silicon. I really did not want to figure that out, and I also was too tired to go downstairs to my PC. However, I learned that a Photoshop competitor, Affinity Photo, has this filter built in. So, I downloaded a trial copy and started the process of trying to figure out how to fix this image.
It was amazingly simple. It brings up these star patterns and you just paint black circles over every one but the center. It literally felt like magic. (Full screen with sound recommended)
So once I did this process I ended up with this...
Tumblr media
The paper still had a rough texture but it was much easier to work with using traditional techniques. I started with a black and white conversion and meticulously went through the photo zapping scratches and flaws and balancing tones and sharpening facial features. All of my photo restoration tricks were needed.
I eventually landed here...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I then thought maybe I should match the sepia tone of the original print, so I got to here...
Tumblr media
I think the black and white looks nicer in this instance, but I always like having options and this is the most faithful representation of how the photo originally looked.
But there is something else I have been playing around with lately. Photoshop has these experimental neural filters that use cloud processing to do various tricky enhancements. Most of them are in beta and they can be very quirky. But they have a colorizer that tries to detect people and things and adds color to them. Not every black and white photo is a good candidate. I have found these professional portrait photos work decently, but the filter is very hit-and-miss. And there are tools within the filter to help you make a miss more of a hit, but often I have to accept the photo isn't going to work.
But I decided to give it a shot with this one and surprisingly, the colorizer got me most of the way there.
Tumblr media
I can work with that.
The one thing it does well is skin. Manually painting color onto skin is tricky and requires more skill and knowledge of traditional painting techniques than I have. But if a filter can do that part for me, I can do the rest.
So after my touchups, I got the image to here.
Tumblr media
All I have left to do is my standard color enhancements to make them a little less ghostly and a little more human.
And I present to you where I started and the finished product. I encourage you to flip back and forth.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm not sure how, but I was able to go from an image I thought was impossible to edit to a beautiful colorized memory for my best friend's mom. I cannot wait to show her.

2. Writing Set Up: Where to Write Your Draft
Before you even start writing, you’ll need to find a writing program/medium you feel comfortable working with. 
I promise you—from start to finish—you’ll look at your draft for a couple of hours at minimum, so I suggest you choose a program/medium that aligns with your individual needs. Now it’s time for you to identify what those needs might be. 
Here are some options:
Creativity strikes while you’re cuddled up in bed or on your commute to work? 
Try writing on your phone/tablet (unless you’re the one driving, of course!)—you can use pre-installed apps like Pages (iOS) or your Notes/Memo app. You can also download free writing applications like Google Docs. Google Docs works on and offline on basically any mobile device, which is great for when you’re on the go! 
You prefer writing/typing on a computer? 
There are many desktop writing programs like LibreOffice (free for Windows, Mac and Linux), MS Word (needs to be purchased/subscription-based), countless online text editors or the browser version of Google Docs. 
You need to physically feel the words flowing through your body? 
Well, imagine you’re a classic author and write them down by hand on generously perfumed paper (preferably with royal blue ink)! Of course, you can also use Post-it notes or that coffee-stained notebook from 2013. Regular paper will do, too, though it’s obviously not as cool. 
Of course, there are many more options to choose from, but since you’re just starting out, I suggest you try free and more readily available programs first. Everything has its pros and cons, but digital writing is generally pretty clean-cut and saves you the trouble of digitising hand-written drafts (which you’ll need to do if you want to share your writing online! Unless you want to share scans of your beautiful handwritten writing, of course!). 
But before you settle for one (or more!) program/media of your choice, you might want to consider a few things: 
Is your writing easily accessible to you? → Can you add to your draft whenever and wherever creativity strikes? 
Does your writing program save your progress automatically? → You don’t want to lose hours upon hours of work because you forgot to save your progress! 
Is your writing secure? → Is your writing uploaded to a cloud? Will you still be able to access your writing if your computer crashes or you lose your login data/ phone/notebook? Can you easily create external backups of your files?
It really doesn’t matter what you need to write down at this early point. Be it an idea, rough outline, dialogue, stream of consciousness, mind map or a finished draft—you just want your entire writing process to happen in a secure, accessible location that you feel confident working in. There is no perfect writing program; whatever program works best for you is the best program for you! 
For example: 
I almost exclusively write on Google Docs since it meets all my personal writing needs: It’s a free cloud service that syncs my files all across my devices (phone, laptop, tablet) regardless of where I am. It has an intuitive interface with all the basic writing/formatting tools I need. 
Once a month, I download my most recent drafts as “.docx”-files and back them up on an external hard drive—so even if I can’t, for whatever reason, access my Google Docs account, my files are still secured in a different location. 
Sometimes, I make use of handwritten notes, too—though I keep losing them or can’t decipher my handwriting…This seems minuscule or even funny, but it’s hard to come back to an idea when you’ve literally lost the physical manifestation of it!

Finding A Husband With God’s Help
Roosh Valizadeh
The second edition of my book for women, Lady, has been released. It now contains a Prologue (shared below) intended for Christian women to aid them in their search for a suitable husband while avoiding secular behaviors and traps. Lady is available in eBook, paperback, and audiobook. Click here to learn more.
I originally wrote Lady for secular women who wanted to get married and were ready to make changes after failing to find a husband with casual dating. I was agnostic at the time and attempted to offer an intermediate step between the secular world and the world of God for women who felt that casual dating was wrong but didn’t yet trust God to provide them with a suitable husband.
It would be impossible to retrofit Lady as a Christian work. It contains too many secular ideas and cost-benefit arguments, and promotes behaviors that could be classified as sinful, so instead I have written this prologue for Christian women who want to get the best out of Lady without risking their salvation. Below you’ll find direct quotes from Lady followed by a correction that has been guided by my developing Christian faith.
“In life, there is a time for hearing ‘sweet little lies,’ as the Fleetwood Mac song tells us, and there is a time for knowing the truth so that you can improve your life.” “Improve your life” in what way? In terms of the benefits, comforts, and pleasures you can receive? In the amount of pride you develop for being a beautiful or “good” person? In Lady I advised you to embark on a journey of self-improvement to increase your “value,” but in the eyes of God, your value is determined by your faith, not your skill at appearing better before worldly men. The only improvement you need is to increase your faith and turn away from sin, and doing those two things alone will yield enough for you to bond with a man who has a similar level of faith as you do. The last thing you want is to make yourself appealing on a skin-deep level to a man lusting after external beauty. More effort should be put into improving the internal, in the form of the spiritual, than the external, for if you want to drink from a cup, it’s more important for the inside to be clean than the outside.
“Our basic nature is to survive and pair-bond with our sexual opposite… to accomplish this end, nature gave men and women their own set of specific tools.” Our basic nature is first and foremost to serve the will of God. For most people, His will entails getting married, working out your salvation with your spouse, and sowing the seeds of salvation for your children. It is true that God gave women a set of tools that are different from those He gave to men, but those tools must ultimately be harnessed to serve God’s will, not your own will or goals. If you want to get married and have children, and you’re not praying to God for strength or help to achieve this end, you will be tempted to date many men so that you can make the “right” choice. You will try to find out whether you are “sexually compatible” with a man. You will wonder whether taking a trip to Italy will allow you to obtain a better-looking man with a pleasing accent. Disconnected from God, our choices are likely to be infused with deception, and so God must be involved every step of the way. In the practical sense, this means intense prayer and receiving guidance from priests, monks, and devout Christians around you.
“[T]he point of all this is not merely to get married, but to transcend the material world for the immaterial experiences of love, family, and a life that is compatible with your feminine essence.” I was close with this statement but still off the mark. Where does love come from? God. Who “invented” the family? God. Who created your life? God. Without God, love is lust, family is just a checkbox on your bucket list, and life is meant to be enjoyed in this world only. There is no transcendence if you’re deceived by the schemes of the world. Only God allows you to transcend. Only God can grant you salvation and eternal life. God must be a part of whatever you pursue, and if you can’t see the man who desires you as sent by God, you should wait for another man.
The materialistic goals you pursue are business transactions. You weigh the costs and the benefits, and may even write the “pros” and “cons” on a piece of paper, just like the self-improvement gurus teach. You marry a man because he passed your analysis and is the best you can get, but what happens when the marriage gets difficult? What happens if he gets sick or loses his job? Now your business transaction is not looking so great, your piece of paper needs to be updated, and you’ll want to abandon ship—like so many women do—instead of enduring. But if you believe your husband was sent to you by God, and you are serving Him through the marriage, you will endure the trial as a way to please the Lord instead of running away. You will stay in order to deepen your faith. This is the difference between a secular woman and a Christian woman. The secular woman will remain in a situation only if there are material rewards but will flee when things turn sour. The Christian woman, on the other hand, uses her faith to preserve the family “in sickness and in health” and walks away only if God wills it.
Be careful of making a false god out of motherhood and family. Yes, being a mother is by default the best thing you can do with your life, but motherhood is not the god. Family is not the god. Your husband, an icon of Christ, is how you serve God, but he is not a god. The One God must come before everything in this world, because when isolated from God, you will simply not make the right choice about which man to marry or be able to bear the multitude of problems that happen within any marriage.
“Before you can get into a relationship with a man, you first have to attract him… a man must be attracted to you physically before he will begin to attach himself emotionally.” Your physical beauty comes from your faith in God. You are thin because you turn away from the sin of gluttony. You have long hair and act like a woman because you cherish your God-given femininity. From accepting how God created you, you don’t have to put on makeup, shape your butt in the gym through hours of exercise, or apply fake nails or eyelashes. The natural beauty that flows from your faith is all you need to attract a man. Otherwise, you’ll disfigure yourself into a trendy ideal of beauty with a focus on being sexy, which merely attracts men who want a trendy woman. Women who obsess about external beauty inevitably become objects of sexual desire by men who just want to get laid.
In Lady I explained how the main form of bait you should use to attract a man is beauty, but it should be your faith, because only with faith can you be truly beautiful. You can place a supermodel in front of me right now, with her perfect facial structure and hair, but I wouldn’t see beauty. I would see a fallen woman who sold her soul for fame and money. Many men covet porn stars, but you can imagine the type of man you will attract if you try to imitate them. You don’t want a man who cannot tell the difference between a disguise of beauty and the real thing, but to get there, you must actually possess the real thing, and that only comes with faith. The stronger your relationship with God, the more beautiful you will appear to a man who also has a relationship with God. Think of beauty, grace, humility, and elegance as side effects of leading a Christian life, not the goals themselves.
“I know it’s frustrating that so many men just want to use you for sex, but from the standpoint of men surveying the available women in their local environment, it’s the most logical default option to have.” Wrong, it’s the most sinful default option to have! Just because so many women are bad, that doesn’t mean men should follow them with their tongues hanging out of their mouths, and just because a supposedly “good” man demands sex before marriage, that doesn’t mean you should follow him.
I can’t stress how much of a reversal I’ve experienced when it comes to premarital sex. As of this writing, I’m chaste. I do not fornicate or masturbate. I do not implement game tactics to meet random women in public. I do not date with the goal of physical intimacy, and would only consider traditional courtship. If, after several years, I do not meet a suitable woman, then it is God’s will for me to remain single. I definitely would not whirl up the Tinder app on my phone in a panic or change myself to conform to the fallen world, and neither should you. If there is no man out there who allows you to maintain your walk with Christ, then God may have given you the gift of lifelong chastity, like He may have given me.
Be extremely careful of men who are sexually active, and by that I mean a man who is not against premarital sex, masturbation, or pornography. At a minimum, he should be struggling to reduce or eliminate his sinful habits in order to please God. What is the point of choosing a secular man who will reluctantly wait until marriage to have sex with you but in the meantime masturbate to naked women on a computer screen? Whether he masturbates or fornicates, he is controlled by the deadly sin of lust, and this will damage any marital home in the future. While no man is perfect, he should be ascending to Christ and attempting to control his sins with God’s help when he encounters you. It is not your responsibility to present the Gospel to a man for the first time or be his personal savior.
“If a man has a stable job, has similar family values to yours, and you enjoy spending time with him in spite of his flaws, there isn’t much more you can look for in a long-term partner.” As you would expect, we need to add to that his faith. In fact, it should be number one, because all the family values you seek will sprout from faith. If a man has the right values but doesn’t have God in his life, I must wonder how good those values will be when he is tested, or whether he may be putting on an act in order to achieve his materialistic goal of marriage. On the other hand, if by all appearances a man is in a woeful state but has the right faith, or at least a faith that is deepening, I would put more stock in him than in one who is faithless yet appears more polished.
Since God ordained a husband to lead his wife, a man’s faith should be developed enough that you feel secure following him. While no one’s faith is perfect, you should not identify so many problems with his that you feel he’s doing it all wrong or is deceived. If his faith is less developed than yours, you should at least feel that it’s growing fast enough so that he can soon surpass you. The last thing you want is to serve as your husband’s spiritual leader. God created Eve from Adam, not the other way around; if a man is sorely lacking in the faith department, leave him be until he can fully receive God’s grace.
“[You should] postpone physical intimacy to weed out men who only want sex. I therefore advise you to kiss a man on the lips no sooner than date two and to have sex with him no sooner than date nine. (Oral or anal sex counts as sex.)” If you’re serving Jesus Christ, you should not participate in sex before marriage, or in any other behavior that could potentially lead to sex. This includes lip kissing, cuddling, and holding hands. The ideal is not to do anything with a man who isn’t your husband that you wouldn’t do with your grandfather. Refrain from behaviors that put you or a man in a state of physical arousal, because once that occurs, fornication is not far off. If you’re with a man who refuses to abide by these rules, or makes a big show of not being able to stay in control because you are turning him on, ditch him. He doesn’t care about serving God and only wants to manipulate you in order to receive pleasure from your body.
It’s upsetting to see so many self-identifying Christians throw sexual morality out the window. You will encounter many of them who declare their love for Jesus Christ while fornicating and cohabitating, but the teachings of Christ have not changed in 2,000 years. His expectations of us have not altered. He does not want us to fornicate before marriage. If you love Him as He loves you, abide by his commandment to turn away from sexual immorality. In a sex-obsessed world, this will be an impossible task without His help. Whenever sexual temptation knocks on your door, recite the Jesus Prayer until the temptation fades: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
“If you’re out in public, walk slowly as if you’re not in a hurry to be somewhere [so that men will approach you].” I can no longer advise you to meet men in public. While it is statistically possible to meet your future husband in a beautiful park, you are far more likely to meet a player or secular man who wants to fornicate with you. There is a reason random encounters were the principal means by which I obtained fornication in the past: they are the best way to meet a lot of women in a short amount of time and screen for those who are sexually willing. I gave detailed scripts for men to meet women in bars, cafés, and public venues where social ties were not needed. Men who have no attachment to their community can just pop right in front of a woman, make her feel happy, and take her to bed. There is too much temptation involved with meeting a man in such a way.
That said, it is always possible that Divine Providence will send you a man who appeared out of the bushes in a park, but don’t seek out that outcome. Instead, focus on events that draw in the right type of man. For example, you may want to attend the yearly Armenian Food Festival held by a church, and there in the corner is a man with a large beard who explains to you how his mom makes dolma and börek. For every one woman who meets a man at a food festival or farmers market, a dozen will meet them through their church or social groups. It’s better to invest in community-based avenues than random encounters.
“I do think traditional ways are best for long-term relationships, but achieving this in a non-traditional age is impossible.” This statement is an indication of how little faith I had at the time. If you serve God, you will become traditional without trying. Lean on God and He will give you the strength to resist the temptations that the non-traditional world offers. If I ever have children, I don’t doubt that the family home would be traditional. We would grow our own food and repair things that break down. We would homeschool. We would keep out television sets and damaging entertainment. Most importantly, our home would be centered on Christ, and manifesting from that faith will be what outwardly appears as traditionalism. I’ve met countless Christians who are doing it, and I’m sure that, with God’s help, you can do it as well.
“Experiment in the bedroom with sexy outfits, dirty talk, role-playing, and different-colored wigs. Wear a short skirt in public so that he’s aroused and can’t wait to get you home.” Sex-addict Roosh was talking here. Most secular men fear that their sex lives will suffer in marriage. In essence, they’ve made an idol out of sexual pleasure, putting it above the marriage. If a man does the opposite and puts marriage above sex, he will be able to endure the prospect of never again having sex with his wife if—for example—she develops a serious medical condition. You do not want a man who is obsessed with sexual pleasure, because once the sex gets boring, and it will, he will start to make demands that reduce you to a sex doll or a pornographic actress he saw on the internet. This extends to performing anal or oral sex. If your husband is not satisfied with normal sex, then perhaps the problem lies with him. You certainly have a wifely duty to provide your husband with sex if you are physically able, but you should not have to morph into someone else to satisfy his uncontrolled lust or perverted kinks.
“I know many men who are avoiding marriage solely because of divorce laws.” And you should leave those men alone. Let them remain single and shout to the world that divorce is unfair and life is stacked against them while they pursue fornication or masturbation. Since the fall of Adam and Eve, life has been difficult for both men and women. Traps set by the demons are all around us, but those traps should not stop us from serving God in one of His most important sacraments: marriage. A man who is scared of marriage because of divorce has put worldly concerns above trust in God. He has no faith that God will deliver him from any future tribulation, and is more concerned with his money and comforts.
Let’s say I get married to a Christian woman and she later becomes influenced by Satan and divorces me. She takes my house and most of my money. Should I curse God for this misfortune? Quite the opposite. I should thank Him for putting me through a trial that is designed to deepen my faith in a way that only God knows. Perhaps I would have sacrificed my salvation if I had stayed with that woman. Perhaps the house and money distanced me from God in a way I couldn’t see. Besides, why did I accumulate so many possessions? Is it through serving God that a man’s fortune is amassed? If I marry a woman who I believe is sent by God, and she later divorces me, I have nothing to lament, for that is God’s will. The problem is therefore not unfair divorce laws, or that marriage is rigged against men, but a lack of faith. Christian men should not let Caesar’s laws prevent them from serving God through marriage, an institution that He created for us.
One point I didn’t address in Lady is how to know whether or not a man is right for you. I tackled the problem as if it were something of a checklist, where if a man has certain qualities, he should be good enough, but those qualities are materialistic in nature and do not provide any assurance that he will be a good husband in the future. In the end, only God knows whether you should marry a man based on how the marriage will affect your salvation, and the only way to find out if a man is sent to you by God is to pray about it continually and seek spiritual guidance from elders, priests, and monks who God may enlighten to help you make the right choice.
God may not want you to have a “happy” marriage that resembles a Disney movie. From God’s perspective, your salvation is His utmost concern. He wants you to be saved, and it’s very possible that for you to be saved, you need to enter into a difficult marriage, or a marriage where your husband dies young, or perhaps not to be married at all. By marrying the wrong man from God’s perspective, you may have a great marriage materialistically but risk your salvation. By marrying the better man, your life could have significantly more struggles, but you will be saved. Pray to God for weeks or months about the man who is courting you. Ask Him whether this is the man for you, and to enlighten others around you to help you make the correct decision. Don’t go it alone and don’t depend entirely on your emotions or instincts. Depend on God to make the final decision.
If I rewrote Lady today, God would be on every page. All good comes from God, and if you want to serve Him through marriage, you need to seek out God every step of the way. Thankfully, Lady is not wholly incompatible with the Christian life. This isn’t a surprise, since I wrote Lady right before I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. He was working through me even though I felt that He was absent from my life. Praise be to God for producing a work that served as a rudimentary beginning to healing the immense damage I had done to both men and women through my prior writings. I pray that He will continue to work through me not only for my salvation, but also for the salvation of those who follow me.

How to Report Bugs on Discord and Apple — A User’s Guide (Powered by Flonnect)
Tumblr media
Bugs can be disruptive, especially when you’re deep in conversation on Discord or relying on your Apple device for work, communication, or entertainment. Fortunately, with the help of Flonnect — a powerful screen recording tool and video-sharing extension — reporting bugs becomes quicker, clearer, and more efficient.
In this user-friendly guide, you’ll learn how to report bugs effectively on Discord and Apple, and how Flonnect can enhance the process with features like instant recording, auto-generated transcripts, video trimming, and secure link sharing.
Why Reporting Bugs Is Important
Bug reports are essential for developers to identify and resolve issues. Without accurate reports, problems may go unnoticed, affecting user experience on a larger scale. Whether it’s a chat error on Discord or a lag in your iOS interface, the sooner you report it, the faster it can be fixed.
That’s where Flonnect comes in — it lets you show what went wrong, rather than explain it in long paragraphs. And when bugs are backed by video proof, your reports are taken more seriously and resolved more efficiently.
How Flonnect Helps You Report Bugs Better
Flonnect is a Chrome extension designed to simplify how users capture and share their screen activity. When it comes to bug reporting, Flonnect offers several advantages:
Screen Recording on the Go
You can record the exact moment the bug occurs. Whether you’re on Discord or browsing on Safari, Flonnect captures it all in high quality.
Auto-Generated Transcripts
Flonnect automatically transcribes your screen recordings, making it easier to provide context to support teams without typing lengthy explanations.
Trim the Video Easily
You can highlight just the important part by trimming the unnecessary portions. This keeps your bug report focused and to the point.
Shareable Link
Instead of uploading bulky video files, you get a shareable link that can be included in your support ticket on Discord or Apple Feedback. It’s fast, secure, and accessible.

Device Type (Laptop, Mobile, Tablet)
Discord version (if applicable)
Steps to reproduce the bug
By adding a video, you’re saving Discord’s support team from trying to replicate the bug — making their job easier and your issue faster to resolve.
How to Report a Bug to Apple Using Flonnect
Apple’s ecosystem, while reliable, can still have occasional bugs — especially after iOS or macOS updates. Here’s how Flonnect can make reporting these issues smoother.
Step 1: Record the Glitch with Flonnect
Use Flonnect to record your interaction with the Apple app or system. Narrate your actions or let Flonnect’s transcript speak for you.
Step 2: Visit Apple’s Feedback Page
Go to Apple Feedback and select the product you want to report the issue on — iPhone, iPad, Mac, Safari, etc.
Step 3: Submit Your Report with Flonnect Link
Fill out the form, include your system version (iOS 17, macOS Ventura, etc.), describe the problem briefly, and paste your Flonnect video link.
For developers, use Apple’s Feedback Assistant for more advanced bug submissions
Best Practices for Bug Reporting Using Flonnect
To make the most out of Flonnect while reporting bugs:
Reproduce the Bug Clearly
Ensure the error is clearly shown during the recording. Avoid background noise or unnecessary navigation.
Trim to the Important Moment
Use Flonnect’s trimming feature to cut the recording down to the bug moment. This saves time for support teams.
Use Transcripts for Extra Context
Flonnect’s transcript feature allows you to quickly provide a written overview of your recording, which is especially useful for accessibility or language support.
Share a Secure Video Link
Generate and share a Flonnect link in your bug report. This way, there’s no need for file uploads or external hosting.
Why Choose Flonnect for Bug Reporting?
Flonnect isn’t just another screen recording tool — it’s optimized for modern workflows:
No sign-up needed to get started
Supports Chrome, YouTube, and website screen captures
Stores videos securely
Allows you to create playlists for multiple bug recordings
Built-in transcript, summarizer, and link-sharing system
It’s especially useful for QA testers, developers, tech enthusiasts, or everyday users who simply want to make their voices heard in the product development cycle.
Conclusion: Turn Frustration into Action with Flonnect
Whether you’re facing connection issues on Discord or a UI bug on your iPhone, don’t let it slow you down. Use Flonnect to record, explain, and report the problem quickly and clearly. With tools like trimming, transcripts, and instant link sharing, Flonnect transforms the way users communicate bugs.
Next time a bug gets in your way, don’t just describe it — show it. Let Flonnect do the talking, and help the developers fix it faster for everyone.

Steam for Mac Brings New Life to Apple Gaming
Introduction
Mac gaming has come a long way, and a major reason behind that progress is Steam. Once limited to PC gamers, Steam now plays a vital role in making gaming accessible to Apple users.
Using Steam for Mac today isn’t just possible—it’s a game-changer. Whether you're running a MacBook Air or a high-end iMac, Steam unlocks access to a vast library of games, features, and multiplayer tools tailored for the macOS environment.
What Makes Steam for Mac Different from Windows?
Compatibility challenges and feature limitations
Steam on macOS doesn’t support every game in the Steam library. That’s because many developers don’t build Mac versions of their titles. Moreover, some popular Steam features may behave differently or be entirely unavailable on macOS, especially with newer Apple Silicon chips.
Optimization differences between Steam for Mac and Steam for PC
The performance gap is also noticeable in some cases. While Steam for Mac is optimized for Metal graphics API and Apple hardware, it doesn’t yet match the customization and driver-level performance enhancements seen on Windows.
Installing Steam on a Mac the Right Way
Step-by-step download and installation guide
To install Steam, visit the official Steam website and download the macOS version. Open the .dmg file, drag Steam into your Applications folder, and run the app. It will automatically update itself before launching.
Setting up your Steam account for first-time users on macOS
Once installed, create a free Steam account or log in if you already have one. From there, you can access the full game store, library, and community features available in Steam for Mac.
Tumblr media
System Requirements and Supported macOS Versions
Minimum specs for running Steam on Mac smoothly
At minimum, Steam requires macOS 10.11 (El Capitan), 1GB RAM, and an Intel or Apple Silicon processor. However, most modern games need significantly better specs at least 8GB RAM and a dedicated GPU or M-series chip.
How newer macOS updates affect Steam for Mac compatibility
Starting from macOS Catalina, Apple removed support for 32-bit apps. This affected many older Steam games. If you're using Monterey or later, be sure to check compatibility before purchasing a game.
Best Games to Play via Steam for Mac
Top-rated Steam games that run natively on Mac
Some great native titles include Stardew Valley, Civilization VI, Hades, and Total War: Warhammer II. These games are optimized for macOS and provide excellent performance.
Using Proton or Rosetta for playing non-native games
You can play non-native Windows games on Steam for Mac using workarounds like Proton (via third-party tools), Rosetta 2 for Intel apps, or emulators like CrossOver and PlayOnMac.
Using Steam Features on macOS
Accessing the Steam Overlay, Chat, and Workshop on Mac
Steam Overlay, voice chat, and the Steam Workshop are all available in Steam for Mac. However, some Workshop mods may not work if the base game isn’t Mac-compatible.
How Steam Cloud, Remote Play, and Big Picture Mode work for Mac users
Steam Cloud ensures your saves are synced between devices. Remote Play lets you stream games from another PC, and Big Picture Mode gives you a console-style interface, fully usable on macOS.
Performance Tips for Smooth Gaming
Improving game performance on MacBooks and iMacs
Keep your Mac cool, close background apps, and lower in-game resolution or effects. An external monitor and mouse can also enhance gameplay.
Recommended settings for running Steam games efficiently on Mac
Stick to medium settings, enable Metal rendering if available, and update your macOS regularly. M1/M2 chip users should prioritize games with Apple Silicon support for best results.
Alternatives and Emulators for Non-Compatible Games
Running unsupported Steam titles with Wine or Crossover
Tools like Wine, CrossOver, or Bottles help run Windows-exclusive games. They’re not perfect but work well for older or less resource-intensive games.
Using Parallels or Boot Camp for a full Windows Steam experience
Parallels Desktop lets you run Windows in a virtual machine, while Boot Camp (Intel Macs only) allows full dual-booting. Both give you access to full Windows versions of Steam.
Staying Updated and Troubleshooting Issues
Keeping Steam for Mac and your games up to date
Always run the latest version of Steam, and allow automatic game updates. This ensures compatibility with macOS security and feature updates.
Solving common Steam issues on Mac like crashes and launch errors
If Steam won’t launch or crashes, try reinstalling, clearing the download cache, or resetting app permissions in macOS System Settings. Compatibility issues are common with older games.
Conclusion
Steam for Mac has become a valuable portal for Apple gamers, offering hundreds of compatible titles and strong community support. While limitations remain compared to Windows, strategic use of tools and proper setup can unlock a fulfilling gaming experience on Mac.
With constant updates and growing developer support, Mac gamers no longer need to feel left behind. Steam brings Apple into the heart of the gaming world.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is Steam available for all versions of macOS? Steam supports macOS 10.11 and newer, but some games need newer versions or specific system features.

Mastering Terraform IAC Development: Your Path to Efficient Infrastructure Automation 🚀
Tumblr media
If you’ve been dipping your toes into the DevOps pool, chances are you’ve heard whispers—maybe even shouts—about Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Among the many tools out there, Terraform has emerged as a favorite. Why? Because it makes infrastructure automation feel less like rocket science and more like a well-organized checklist.
In this blog, we’re going deep into the world of Terraform IAC Development, unpacking everything from what it is to why it matters—and how you can become confident using it, even if you’re just starting out.
And the best part? We’ll show you exactly where to begin your learning journey. (Hint: It’s right here—this Terraform IAC Development course could be your launchpad.)
What is Terraform, and Why Is It So Popular?
Let’s break it down simply.
Terraform is an open-source tool developed by HashiCorp that allows you to define and provision infrastructure using a high-level configuration language called HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language). Think of it as a blueprint for your cloud resources.
Instead of manually clicking around dashboards or writing endless scripts, you write code that defines what you want your infrastructure to look like. Then Terraform builds it for you. It’s fast, reliable, and most importantly, repeatable.
What Makes Terraform Stand Out?
Multi-Cloud Support: It works with AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and even on-premise solutions.
Declarative Syntax: You declare what you want, and Terraform figures out how to get there.
State Management: Terraform keeps track of what’s been deployed, making updates clean and precise.
Modular Approach: Reusable modules mean less repetitive code and more consistent deployments.
Real-Life Problems Terraform Solves
Still wondering what makes Terraform so essential? Here are a few scenarios:
You're working with a team and need identical dev, test, and production environments. Manually setting that up can lead to errors. With Terraform, it's as easy as duplicating a few lines of code.
You want to migrate your workloads between cloud providers. Terraform’s provider ecosystem makes this not just possible—but surprisingly smooth.
You need to spin up infrastructure automatically when new code is deployed. Terraform works beautifully with CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitLab CI.
Bottom line: Terraform reduces human error, increases efficiency, and gives teams a single source of truth for infrastructure.
The Building Blocks of Terraform IAC Development
Before you dive in, let’s understand the key components of Terraform IAC Development:
1. Providers
These are plugins that allow Terraform to communicate with different cloud platforms. AWS, Azure, GCP, and even third-party tools like GitHub or Datadog have Terraform providers.
2. Resources
These define what you're provisioning—like an EC2 instance, a database, or a DNS record.
3. Modules
Modules group your resources and make your code reusable and cleaner. Think of them like functions in programming.
4. Variables
Want flexibility? Variables allow you to change configurations without editing your core code.
5. State Files
This is Terraform’s memory. It keeps track of the current infrastructure so Terraform knows what needs to change during an update.
How to Get Started with Terraform IAC Development
You don’t need a PhD in Cloud Engineering to get started with Terraform. In fact, all you need is:
A basic understanding of how cloud platforms work (AWS, Azure, etc.)
A terminal (Mac, Linux, or even Windows with WSL)
A code editor (VS Code is a great choice)
And a clear learning path
We recommend starting with this hands-on, beginner-friendly course on Terraform IAC Development. It’s packed with real-world examples, clear explanations, and exercises that build muscle memory.
Top Benefits of Learning Terraform Today
✅ High Demand in the Job Market
DevOps engineers with Terraform experience are incredibly valuable. Companies are hungry for professionals who can deploy, manage, and scale infrastructure the right way.
✅ Automation = Efficiency
Imagine deploying an entire cloud environment with one command. That’s the power you get with Terraform.
✅ Open-Source Community Support
With thousands of contributors and resources, you’re never alone on your learning journey.
✅ Works Across Environments
Whether you’re a startup running on a single AWS region or a Fortune 500 with multi-cloud needs, Terraform scales with you.
Terraform in Action: Common Use Cases
Still not convinced? Let’s look at some real-world uses of Terraform:
🔹 Spinning Up Cloud Infrastructure for Dev/Test
Use Terraform to quickly set up a dev environment that mirrors production. Developers test in real conditions, bugs get caught early, and everyone’s happier.
🔹 Infrastructure Version Control
You wouldn’t deploy app code without Git. Why treat infrastructure any differently? With Terraform, your infra lives in code, can be peer-reviewed, and is version-controlled.
🔹 Disaster Recovery and Backups
By having your entire infrastructure as code, disaster recovery becomes as simple as redeploying from a repository.
🔹 Multi-Environment Consistency
Terraform ensures that dev, staging, and production environments are consistent—no more “it works on my machine” issues.
Pro Tips for Terraform IAC Success
Here are some insider tips from experienced Terraform users:
Use Modules Early: It makes your code scalable and readable.
Keep State Files Secure: Use remote backends like AWS S3 with state locking.
Integrate with CI/CD Pipelines: Automate everything—from provisioning to destruction.
Document Your Code: Use comments and naming conventions for clarity.
Lint and Validate: Tools like tflint and terraform validate keep your code clean.
Who Should Learn Terraform?
You might be thinking, “Is Terraform right for me?”
Here’s a quick checklist:
You're a DevOps engineer wanting to automate infrastructure.
You're a developer building cloud-native apps.
You're a sysadmin managing cloud or on-premise servers.
You're an aspiring cloud architect looking to understand modern infra tools.
If you nodded at any of the above, then learning Terraform is a smart career move.
What to Expect from a Great Terraform Course

Certified Apple Technicians Fix Mac Screens Fast
Accidents happen whether it’s a dropped MacBook, a crack in the screen from pressure, or some unfortunate mishap while on the go. A broken or damaged Mac screen is a frustrating experience, especially given how important your device is in everyday life. But don’t panic. There’s good news: Certified Apple technicians can fix Mac screens quickly and reliably, ensuring you’re back up and running in no time.
The Importance of Certified Apple Technicians
When it comes to Mac repairs, certified Apple technicians are the best option. Apple-certified technicians have undergone extensive training and testing to learn the intricacies of MacBook and iMac repairs. These experts are specifically trained to handle Apple’s proprietary hardware, software, and operating systems. Unlike generic repair shops that may lack the specialized knowledge, Apple technicians can guarantee quality repairs and preserve your warranty status.
Why Choose Certified Apple Technicians?
Expertise in Apple Products Apple-certified technicians are trained to work specifically with Apple products, meaning they know exactly how to address screen issues without causing further damage. Whether it's an issue with the display or a deeper problem, such as internal components malfunctioning, these technicians have the expertise to diagnose and resolve the problem efficiently.
Use of Genuine Apple Parts One of the key advantages of choosing certified Apple technicians for your screen repair is that they use genuine Apple parts. This ensures that your Mac will maintain its original performance and quality. Non-Apple parts may cause issues such as poor display quality, flickering, or even a shorter lifespan for your Mac.
Faster Repairs Since Apple-certified technicians work with authentic parts and have extensive training, the repair process is quicker and more efficient. For common screen issues, repairs can often be done within one to two hours, depending on the nature of the problem.
Preserving Warranty and AppleCare+ Benefits When you opt for a certified technician, your Apple warranty and any AppleCare+ coverage remain intact. On the other hand, unauthorized repairs may void your warranty or AppleCare+ plan, potentially costing you more in the long run if issues arise later.
Accurate Diagnostics Certified technicians are equipped with the latest diagnostic tools, some of which are exclusive to Apple. These tools can help technicians quickly identify the root cause of the issue, whether it's a broken screen, malfunctioning graphics card, or an issue with the internal display connection.
Common Mac Screen Problems That Certified Technicians Can Fix
Certified Apple technicians are equipped to handle a variety of common screen issues that can occur with MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, or other Apple devices:
Cracked or Shattered Screens This is one of the most common problems. Whether it’s from a drop, pressure, or accidental damage, Apple technicians can replace the screen with a genuine part, restoring your Mac to its original condition.
Flickering or Distorted Display If your screen is flickering or showing distorted colors, this may be due to a problem with the screen itself or an issue with the GPU (graphics processing unit). Certified technicians have the tools to determine if the problem lies with the screen, the connection, or the GPU.
Dead Pixels or Color Issues Over time, your screen might develop dead pixels or color inconsistencies. Certified technicians can replace your screen or calibrate it to ensure that you get accurate and vibrant colors.
Black Screen or No Display A completely blank screen on startup may signal a hardware failure or a problem with the connection between the display and motherboard. Certified technicians can quickly identify whether the issue is with the screen or the internal components and fix it efficiently.
Touchscreen Malfunctions (For iMacs with touch features) If you have a Mac with a touchscreen feature (such as an iMac with a touch display), and the touch functionality stops working, certified technicians can fix the issue by recalibrating or replacing the touchscreen display.
How Fast Is the Repair Process?
One of the biggest reasons why customers opt for certified Apple technicians is the speed and efficiency of repairs. For minor issues like a cracked screen or display malfunction, repairs can typically be completed within a few hours if you visit an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP).
However, more complex issues, such as extensive internal damage or rare screen malfunctions, may take a little longer. In most cases, you will be informed upfront of the time frame, and if you need a loaner device, Apple offers options for temporary replacement devices to ensure you're not left without a Mac for too long.
Where to Get Your Mac Screen Fixed
There are several options for getting your Mac’s screen repaired by certified Apple technicians:
Apple Stores: You can visit an Apple Store for on-the-spot repairs, depending on availability. It's recommended to schedule an appointment at the Genius Bar in advance to ensure prompt service.
Apple Authorized Service Providers (AASPs): These are third-party service centers that are officially authorized by Apple to perform repairs. They follow Apple’s standards and use genuine parts, ensuring a reliable repair.
Apple Support: If you're unable to visit an Apple Store, you can use Apple’s online support to arrange for a mail-in repair. After contacting Apple Support, they will send you a shipping label and instructions on how to send your Mac for repair.
When your Mac screen is damaged, it's essential to trust professionals who have the expertise, tools, and genuine parts to get the job done right. Certified Apple technicians not only provide the fastest and most reliable repair services but also help preserve your device's warranty and performance. Whether it’s a cracked screen or a display malfunction, getting your Mac repaired by Apple experts ensures your device is restored to its full functionality quickly and efficiently.
So, the next time your Mac screen faces an issue, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with a certified Apple technician you’ll have your Mac looking and working like new again in no time.
