Yeah I might actually do that. Unfortunately I'm stuck with two slow-as-hell USB 2.0 mechanicals so I might try to borrow a thunderbolt or usb3 ssd.

JHVH-1 posted:If I had an external drive big enough, I would just clone the whole thing to it.  ). Only real caveat is that if there's any clutter you just get progressively more cluttered every time you do it unless you take time and clean it all up. At this point it's just like "gently caress it, go Spotlight!" when I want to find something old.

Why isn't the user pictures dir(or a lot of the other user dirs) on by default in the favorites panel in finder? Its easy enough to get to with command+up from documents but how is grandma supposed to know that?

Grandma should use Photos (and she's probably the only person who should).

Things like sending out a bunch of files via gmail and staying under the 25MB quota is a common enough task and I'm sure there are other common everyday data footprint tasks.

Anyone aware of any reason why Safari shits itself when I use Netflix? It gives up loading the homepage, no images or anything then just says it has lost the connection. Downloaded Chrome and it works fine in that.. Am I blaming Silverlight or Mr Jobs (rip)?

If you pay close attention to the menu hints for the keyboard commands you will see when you press one it adds the modifier symbol to it as well as changes the wording. If they wrote out everything the menus would have been super cluttered.

Well, ^ is standard for Control in *nix, so that's fine. The ⌥ is quite a literal pictograph, it's an OPTION... you see how it takes one path instead of the other...? Hahah. I know, it's very stupid. ⌘ I dunno.

It's weird because it seems to brick Safari and my connection until I quit the app. Yet chrome is flawless, I think silverlight is to blame as the Internet suggests Chrome doesn't use silverlight.

Cingulate posted:killall Finder Sure that works but Finder will always be in the cmd-opt-esc list. I mean another app might not be if it doesn't have a UI, then you have to track down the pid and kill it in the terminal. That'll be rare though. You can also do it from Activity Monitor.

I mean my point was that, while I know how to get to the force quit menu because I'll just mash those symbol keys until I get what I want, it's dumb because they could just put a picture of the symbol on the key itself!Pivo posted:Well, ^ is standard for Control in *nix, so that's fine.

Last Chance posted:Does Netflix even support the Mac/Silverlight combo anymore? All Macs with Sandy Bridge processors or older use it for Netflix in Safari. In newer Macs, there is a new EFI call that returns mystery data and is used for DRM - iTunes Movies and HTML 5 DRM in Safari. Older Macs don't have that in the EFI, so they still have to use Silverlight. Chrome does its own HTML5 DRM thing, so I would just use Chrome to watch Netflix personally. The really weird part is that I think Sandy Bridge Macs support HTML5 Netflix despite not supporting the EFI thing. enMTW fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Jun 12, 2015 |

Argh, you know, looking back - I always thought the Option icon represented a RAILWAY switch. But the more I thought about it, I couldn't find a way for that configuration to work. Then I realized that I'm a total dumbass. It represents an electronic switch. That's what the Option icon means. It's a simple switch.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:I believe the specific technology Sandy Bridge introduced was Trusted Execution Technology, which Netflix's HTML5 player (on Safari) uses for DRM. Nehalem didn't have it. You sure it uses trusted execution? Sandy Bridge Macs don't have the EFI changes I was talking about (Videos with FairPlay from iTunes will play fine on a computer with a, uh, 'alternative' bootloader, whereas that is broken on Ivy and higher) and TET obviously doesn't work on a Hack, yet videos play just fine. I only bring that up as the EFI on real Macs is more of a black box whereas EFI calls can be logged on a generic PC. They changed something but I suspect it was only the EFI thing. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. No big deal. Just curious. enMTW fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Jun 12, 2015 |
