Um dos maiores “choques culturais” que as pessoas têm ao trocar o Windows pelo macOS está sem dúvidas relacionado ao atalho de teclado ⌘ command tab, usado para alternar entre apps no Mac.

No sistema da Microsoft, o comando equivalente é o alt tab — que, além de apenas trocar o software ativo no desktop, como é o caso do macOS, também permite que você alterne entre as janelas dos apps abertos e restaure janelas minimizadas.

Embora essas duas funções “extras” do Windows costumem fazer falta para usuários recém-convertidos, essa segunda possibilidade (a de restaurar janelas minimizadas) pode ser especialmente irritante — e é aí que entra a nossa dica de app de hoje, o Command Reopen, entra.

De código aberto, ele faz exatamente o que você espera dele: faz com que as janelas minimizadas do app selecionado sejam restauradas sempre que você usa o comando ⌘ tab, e o melhor: sem pedir qualquer permissão ou demandar configurar de um novo atalho de teclado.

Caso o app selecionado não conte com nenhuma janela minimizada, o Command Reopen abre uma nova janela daquele app automaticamente, lhe poupando de alguns bons cliques.

Por se tratar de um app de código aberto, o Command Reopen pode ser baixado gratuitamente via GitHub. Essa edição do utilitário, no entanto, está sempre uma versão atrás da build presente na Mac App Store, que sai por uma compra única de R$60 e, ao contrário da versão gratuita, conta com atualizações automáticas. Ambas, no entanto, vem com todas as funcionalidades do utilitário desbloqueadas.

A dried-out felt-tip marker and a snapped-off piece of molded black plastic sold for $857,600 at a Sotheby's auction on Wednesday.

What otherwise might have been worthless bits of trash commanded the highest bids due to where the two items were 57 years ago—lifting off aboard NASA's Apollo 11 spacecraft on humanity's first mission to land astronauts on the Moon. More than flown odds and ends, one was the problem that almost stranded Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface, and the other was the simple solution to saving the mission.

"Houston, Tranquility. Do you have a way of showing the configuration of the engine arm circuit breaker?" radioed Aldrin to Mission Control after realizing he or Armstrong had inadvertently broken off the top of the circuit breaker switch that would enable their ascent engine to ignite, beginning their trip back to Earth. "The reason I'm asking is because the end of it appears to be broken off. I think we can push it back in again. I'm not sure we could pull it out if we pushed it in, though."

To a driver passing Fish Lake on State Route 25, in Utah, an aspen grove would look just like a forest of pale trunks. But this is isn’t your average forest. Rather, it’s a single quaking aspen masquerading as a forest; one organism, spread across 106 acres (43,000 square meters), joined underground by one living […]
