It took a while to find all of the data pieces in the registry, so I wrote up a.reg file to automate the process, which I’ve attached in a 7z file. I also included a file to undo the change, which sets those values to 0 instead.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelKeyboard] “InitialKeyboardIndicators”=”2”

Normally I’m all about allowing ads in my web browser and apps to support a developer, but something finally drove me to hack the ads out of my iPhone. I’m totally happy to pay a few bucks to buy an app I like (to upgrade from the free to the pro version to get the ads to go away) but there are a couple apps I use that don’t have a pro version. The only version is the free version with ad support. The problem is… the ads get in the way and the interface of the app leads to me constantly hitting the stupid ad banner. I’d rather just give the developer some money to get rid of the ads but there is no option to even do so!

The solution I stumbled upon is Disable iAds for iOS. You need a jail broken phone and you need to add the Kokoabim repository (https://apt.kokoabim.com/ios) because the app isn’t in the main repositories like BigBoss. All you do is search for it, install it, and the ads vanish. It’s that simple.

This one is an oldie-but-goodie, but I figured I’d send it in anyway. Now is a great time to score dirty cheap Christmas lights (my local big-box store has them at 70% off). Christmas lights are so easy to hack into new projects. One of my favorite Christmas light projects involves wiring your lights into your stereo so that the pulses of electricity flowing to the speakers actually modulate the brightness of the Christmas light strand. It’s a fun way to add some visual punch to your stereo. I’ve included a link to the YouTube video where I first learned how to do it.
