When did they add the double space = period thing from iOS into MacOS? I don't think I've ever accidentally triggered it until now, had no idea it was there.

Buddy of mine is trying to do a data migration. Short story, his old HDD died but not before Apple Genius 'backed it up' to an external. Now he has a new SSD installed with fresh 10.13.5 on it and his user account name is the same as the one he used before with the same account password. When we try to run migration assistant and point to the external, it says something about 'damaged OS files' which seems dumb when all anyone really wants are user files, not OS files.

I would start the upgrade on my 2015 12" before even booting my other Macs up and they'd still get done a half hour before.

If he just wants stuff from his user directory, can’t he just mount it and copy it over using finder?

Hm and I just spent $100 on 1Password licenses. If Apple acquires it and then kills/neglects the Windows & Android versions, it would be truly evil of them. Hopefully it is just nonsense rumour.

Is keychain going to die? I don't use 1Password so I guess I don't care if Apple fucks it up because deep deep down I just want to see the world burn.

1Password also lets to save notes, software licenses, and pretty much anything you can put into an encrypted database. Plus easy family/team sharing etc etc etc.

I use it to store all my stupid rear end work passwords which absolutely would not work with keychain. I really wish I would have started using this years ago because it’s a game changer really.

So Apple itself is using software that is designed to deliberately work outside its ecosystem because secretly they want to work outside their ecosystem? Like the McDonalds manager sneaking an order from the Burger King because they're just so tired of their own food?

It also does 2fa and is all-around better than keychain. Hope Apple doesn’t buy it though - I like it as an independent company.

Call me old-fashioned but the idea of a password manager that handles 2fa just sounds like someone inventing a way to speed up TCP by pre-acking packets

Best practices for a manual migration are: Create an admin account on the machine (it's always handy to have a second admin account in case your main breaks and can't log in anymore) Copy the home directory to be migrated to /Users Create an account with the same username as that folder's name Say yes when it asks if you want to use the folder that's already there Copy over any apps that don't rely on an installer (Adobe, VMWare and SnagIt, I'm looking at you) Done

Data Graham posted:Call me old-fashioned but the idea of a password manager that handles 2fa just sounds like someone inventing a way to speed up TCP by pre-acking packets It depends on if you want 2FA because you actually want the security of two devices, or if you want 2FA so you have less to worry about when BigBankCo inevitably has a database breach and passwords get out.

I don't think you can get at encrypted notes and other items on your phone though. I always have to make fake logins for websites and edit them to store my SSH passphrases.

~Coxy posted:I don't think you can get at encrypted notes and other items on your phone though. I haven’t dug into their documentation to see what the encryption level (if any) is though. Maybe something worth looking into though. Edit: from one of their security white papers: quote:The Notes app includes a Secure Notes feature that allows users to protect the contents of specific notes. Secure notes are encrypted using a user-provided passphrase that is required to view the notes on iOS, macOS, and the iCloud website.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:The Note app added the ability to password protect individual notes a couple years ago. You can unlock them with passwords, Touch ID, or Face ID. Hey, that's pretty good. Being able to get to it through the iCloud website is useful too. Too bad about not having Touch/Face ID on the Mac, but it's less hard to type in complex passphrases on a keyboard.

In the nobody really gives a poo poo that Apple is getting to be pretty incompetent these days unless it's an iOS device dept: Go to the App Store and look for High Sierra; the description is for a full installer of macOS 10.13.5 with a size of 4.80 GB; when you download it now, it is actually the full installer for macOS 10.13.6, with a size of 5.23 GB. You'd think for the last revision of High Sierra they'd know by now not to gently caress up.. Mumble mumble dev team not talking to the App Store team, OS rot, impeach Hair Force One, etc. If you run it on a Mac Pro, it will immediately ask to update the firmware (yes even if you just did a fresh install of 10.13.5); the installer also installs new microcode for the Intel CPU to protect against Spectre / Meltdown. However, the microcode spec is from April, Intel modded it again earlier this month.

What’s the best way to access my files remotely? I’d like to be able to access the files on my iMac, external storage, etc. at home while working mobile. I’ve been using Back To My Mac and the built in screen sharing but they’re the absolute dirt worst. I’m was using a 200Mb connection remotely to connect to my home 200Mb connection and BTMM is so slow that it kept timing out and wouldn’t even reliably show a file listing in the Finder. I’m hoping to avoid “just put everything in Dropbox” because I work with a lot of media files that I only sometimes need access to. Any suggestions? A different app, service, or something that integrates into Transmit as a file transfer intermediary? I’ve tried Screens as a VNC client, but I’m hoping to find something that is quick and simple for file access.
