This may be the wrong place to ask but is there an equivalent of Little Snitch I can get for Windows? It's great being able to block on a per-request basis.

http://www.littlesnitchwindows.com (FortKnox) also: https://www.netlimiter.com Both are reasonable approximations of Little Snitch. But I'll stick with the original.

Looks like there is Real-Time Text support for Wi-Fi calling, the ability to open News stories in Safari, and support for third-party AirPlay speakers. I'm in Apple's Beta program for work, and I don't recall any significant changes there either. Nonetheless, update your stuff!

I had two weird things happen today on my macbook (10.11.6), for the second time in a couple weeks, so I'm posting here to see if anyone has any insight: 1. jpgs somehow became associated with firefox, despite nothing happening that would have changed the filetype association. I didn't even open any jpgs using firefox. 2. My desktop icons rearranged themselves. I don't mean that they snapped to a grid or became ordered by name or extension, but I actually watched them move from folder-folder-jpg-jpg to jpg-jpg-folder-folder, then move back a couple minutes later. Nothing in my finder view preferences changed.

I have a pair of Taotronics headphones, Anker earbuds and Vava earbuds which connect just fine but none display their battery life. Is it really the case that OS X just won't tell me?

I've always had the same issue with my Sony wireless ones and my Mac, despite appearing on my phone. I believe when I asked this was pretty standard for headphones, so maybe some now have found a way to incorporate it in?

I suspect it's just a weird OS bug but seriously wtf kind of bug causes icons to move around randomly It still sounds like a possible rootkitted machine although why a rootkit would send the finder some Apple events telling it to change desktop icon sort order is beyond me. Since it’s a 2015, and you’re running 10.11, you’re way behind on your OS version. I’d use this as an excuse to go full paranoid and do a clean install of Mojave or High Sierra. Back up your data and only use the Finder to copy data files back post install, rather than using Migration Assistant to copy settings, user accounts, and apps. It’ll be a pain but probably better than worrying about a compromised computer.

anyone else have an issue with safari recently where youtube videos will act all weird when fullscreened? like it'll work properly the first time but after that if you fullscreen it again the video will only take up half the screen and once you exit fullscreen the page becomes like 5x the width of the window so you can't see anything. seems to have coincided with them adding the ability to scroll down once you've fullscreened a youtube video

Google Docs inside of Google Chrome hits way too close to home. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve closed the “This webpage is using significant memory...” either. It’s great being a “Google Shop”.

So yeah, Office365 version 16.20 came out; it automagically switches apps to what I call Half-Dark Mode if you're running Mojave. Outlook looks kinda cool (as cool as an email program will get) in Dark Mode; mailbox lists and mailbox list of contents are nice and dark, messages however still display in retina-searing white with black text though. Same with Word, PowerPoint and Excel, only menus and dialogs are dark, document windows are still retina-searing. One Note still not Dark-aware at all. :/ Binary Badger fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Dec 12, 2018 |

html emails and word docs are formatted documents and what you're seeing represents how others without the satan-blessed dark mode will see them

It would make sense for Outlook to display plaintext emails with a dark background but that's one of those "surprise and delight" things that Microsoft isn't great at.

Is there a way to make Safari stop suggesting the root of a website as an autocomplete option in the search bar? I use some horrid intranet app where thing.company.com/ is a login for one type of account, while thing.company.com/bookmark/ is the bookmarked page I need to use to log in. Aside from the text heading, the login pages look identical. And Safari really wants me to go to the wrong one.

a Jobsian "you're holding it wrong" solution would be to type the part after thing.company.com/ as the autocomplete trigger instead

You could try a keyboard shortcut for the URLs. Something like &login and &intra might work.

Wouldn't have expected that. microsoft seem to have stopped throwing their weight around in the last few years and have actually made an effort to make their apps play well with platforms they don't own, probably because they realised that the gates/ballmer era tactics don't work when there's actually some danger to their marketshare. meanwhile google is approaching the level of ubiquity where there just seems to be less incentive for them to bother with this kind of stuff. see also: how long it takes them to update their ios apps for new screen sizes, with their apps making a point of having a completely incongruous design to everything else on ios Binary Badger posted:So yeah, Office365 version 16.20 came out; it automagically switches apps to what I call Half-Dark Mode if you're running Mojave. i use the half-dark mode with mail.app. it's inconsistent but slightly less inconsistent than having 1/4 of the emails with a dark background and the remainder with the forced html white background Generic Monk fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Dec 14, 2018 |
