are you guys going to update your Macs to 🌱High Sierra? I'm extremely wary of updating to APFS on my work laptop, but surely Apple has tested this extremely well

every iOS device running iOS 10.3 or later is already using APFS. they upgraded nearly a billion devices in the field. seems to work.

give people two weeks to discover all the bugs, then a few more weeks to fix them

(and the grumpy holdouts a few months to relent and fix the last bugs)

apple is literally thinking "this can't fail, because it will gently caress up millions of people's life", but that doesn't mean it won't

i still remember one of the updates (mavericks?) that would only reconnect to wifi every now and then when i opened my mba lid, so i had to close and reopen it like a dumbass

e: after the above tweet, i thought i'd see if i could find the version number for when they seemed to patch my wifi issue: 10.9.4

https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1754?locale=en_GB

hard to emphasize how much apple do not give a poo poo in many cases; i also remember the ios update that almost bricked my 3g (as in the phone) performance which forced them to release a dedicated firmware update to address it

that's the "safe area" for all iOS apps on the iPhone X. it's just to make sure you don't put important stuff in a corner where the rounded edge or notch will hide it. nothing to do with safari.

a lot of stuff about the iphone x seems really really dumb but i guess i should start trying to get used to it now as in 2-3 years i figure most of the dumb stuff will be standard on the non-x iphones. oh well.

those avs showed up years ago. iirc when the first couple of people got them, some tried to buy a different av, but within minutes their av would be set back to cartoon animal boobs. my pet conspiracy theory is that lowtax or someone else with access set up a script to just re-set embarrassing furry cartoon avs onto really bad posters

folders on top has been an option since sierra, my man

how does the switch to APFS interact with time machine backups? does it "just work" or do my backups need to be wiped and redone?

somebody still on Sierra go Finder->Preferences->Advanced and see if it's there plz.

seems to Just Work so far. it doesn't convert spinning disks to APFS (for now), just SSDs. my aftermarket SSD was converted no problem, and incremental Time Machine backups (which are on an external 4 TB HD) seem to be working just fine.

the APFS conversion even preserved the symlinks i had set up to some stuff on the internal HD. A++++ would convert again.

For Apple not to understand that their sales model is all about having the very latest shiny expensive trinket, and therefore introducing a lesser trinket at the same is bound to fail, is incredible to me.

judging by the apple quarterly results forecast it looks like even they werent expecting this which is so dumb. they forecasted more or less iphone 7 launch numbers.

it was so obvious that i bought options for the first time in my life to bet their stock would go down this week and made money for a few iphone xs
