Ala Carte channels. It looks like stuff you can already subscribe to independently.

Not sure how this is wildly different than their current TV app implementation other than the fact that they've rebranded the individual services as ala carte "channels".

Which is good because the current TV app implementation is good.

They have been very shy on the costs of mosts of these services. I think the only one they have shown a price for is the News+?

Also, not that anyone gives a rat's rear end, here's the link to the vaunted Combo Update for Mojave 10.14.4.

https://updates.cdn-apple.com/2019/macos/041-49222-20190325-34deb8ef-969c-4548-9760-da0a63e35e7d/macOSUpdCombo10.14.4.dmg

A whopping 2.6 GB, and it will upgrade your BootROM and T2 firmware.

On my Late 2015 rMBP, BootROM was upgraded from 180.0.0.0 to 182.0.0.0.

Holy poo poo, Safari 12.1 is loving fast.. it's entering passwords at an acclerated rate for me.

Drafts for Mac was released. I love their iOS app for super fast text input and this looks like a good first release. Syncing is free so there’s no nagging for basic functionality. Looks like a terrific compliment to their iOS app.

Is there anything in Safari that allows you to run javascript only on certain pages? I tried JSBlocker but had some issues with it (and it doesn't seem to be supported anymore).

Jan 12, 2003

For example if I try to login to my bank account I get stuff like this over and over, even after I disabled JS Blocker on the domains in question (chase.com and secure07a.chase.com)

edit: I finally found out how to turn this canvas thing off. Should I be using JSBlocker since it's not really active anymore?

Hit a bug with 10.14.4 and Mail.app - my older Google Apps (GSuite?) account will no longer authenticate, no matter what fuckery I do with adding/re-adding/2-factoring/keychain etc. Just gets into a loop of doing the web-based verification with Google. Seems other people are having similar issues (https://9to5mac.com/2019/03/26/gmail-macos-10-14-4-sign-in-fail/) so I guess I'll just wait till the brains-trust at Google and Apple figure it out.

There’s also Startpage, which apparently uses Google’s engine but acts as a middleman to prevent them getting any extra information. How they make money from that setup I have no idea.

Startpage runs Google Ads and says they’ve been profitable since 2004.

From their privacy policy:

quote:

How we keep Startpage.com free without using "personal data"

Without tracking ads - as we don’t share personal info with anyone.
Most online advertising today is personalized, meaning that online advertising services track what you do online and profile you in order to serve tailored ads., We don’t do that at Startpage.com. No tracking. No profiling!

Our search result pages may include a small number of clearly labeled "sponsored links", which generate revenue and cover our operational costs. Those links are retrieved from platforms such as Google Adwords. In order to enable the prevention of click fraud, some non-identifying system information is shared, but because we never share personal information or information that could uniquely identify you, the ads we display are not connected to any individual user.

It’s a myth that search engines need to profile you in order to earn decent money. Startpage.com serves strictly non-personalized ads. Sure, our ads make only a fraction of what other search engine ads make, but they pay all our bills.

Not in Mojave, brah. It's in System Preferences / Software Update there.

Doing that in Mojave only checks for stuff from the App Store.

Eternal Terminal is useful for VPS+tmux stuff, since you can at least in theory just leave it open in a background window forever without having to manually reconnect after letting a machine sleep (as you sometimes do with mosh).

Yeah I finally ended up figuring out that it was an issue with how the server was attempting to connect. Had to do some digging but it eventually got figured out. I appreciate all the alternatives though, I'll definitely keep those on the back-burner just in case this was a temporary solution.
