With big fanfare, Daniel Roe, the inventor and person in charge of Nuxt, proudly released the newest version of my favourite JavaScript framework on March 7, 2025: Nuxt v3.16. It promised better performance, better error handling, and a lot more. The full announcement blog post showed that all Nuxt contributors are proud of the new version. They also gave instructions on how to upgrade to v3.16 from previous versions—which immediately broke my Tailwind styling. However, thanks to the Nuxt community, I can now show you the easy fix to this problem.

At around 04:30 in the early morning of Monday, January 12t, 2024, I had a spontaneous epiphany. It was clearer than ever that my iMac—already an old model bought in 2022 with only an M1 chip—needed to be wiped clean and its OS reinstalled. A total reset, barely two hours before sunrise.

Reddit Double-Refreshing in Chrome and macOS? It’s AdGuard. Here’s the Fix
Okay, I admit, this one is probably a case that only applies to myself, but you never know. For a few weeks now, Reddit has been annoying me by reloading every page I am on—sometimes even twice. By tediously eliminating all extensions and plugins one by one, I eventually found the culprit—a simple checkbox in AdGuard’s settings security settings.

Login error with GitHub’s Copilot plugin in JetBrains 2024.2 IDEs: Here’s how I fixed it
I’m using WebStorm by JetBrains as my go-to IDE for most of my front-end projects. As I was about to start it to continue one of my projects, from one day to the next, I was confronted with multiple errors that, in the end, wouldn’t let me log in to the super helpful GitHub Copilot plugin.
A thorough Google search didn’t yield any useful results on how to fix this, but it seemed like this is not a new bug. I’ve seen similar reports going back as far as February 2023.
However, the good news is, after tinkering around a bit, I found a way to fix this issue and use Copilot on every JetBrains product again. The following steps explain how I solved it, step by step. I can’t guarantee that it’ll work on your system, but it’s worth giving it a try.
