First day with Big Sur. For the most part it was relatively smooth. Had to update zoom and sometime iterm2 and vscode slowed down.

One really weird behavior I'm seeing is with our VPN client, Forticlient. I'm using 6.4.something for sslvpn and whenever I do anything bandwidth intensive it just stops resolving internal DNS and I have to reconnect (but the client says it's still connected). Not sure if it's the client or OS tbh.

Apple drops their cut to 15% if your app doesn't make more than a million.

Of course they won't here's Tim Sweeney's response

Tim Sweeney, CEO Epic Games posted:

This would be something to celebrate were it not a calculated move by Apple to divide app creators and preserve their monopoly on stores and payments, again breaking the promise of treating all developers equally. By giving special 15 percent terms to select robber barons like Amazon, and now also to small indies, Apple is hoping to remove enough critics that they can get away with their blockade on competition and 30 percent tax on most in-app purchases. But consumers will still pay inflated prices marked up by the Apple tax.

I’m switching to Mac and would be curious about this. iTunes on windows tends to freak out when you did I t. It worked generally but would constantly try and default the directory back to somewhere on my main drive.

I already keep my main library on an external drive and open it using Alt+click every time I want to use it. I've heard that putting it on a network share introduces some gremlins though, at least with iTunes.

It does but it has mostly been worked out by now. It used to be that, if it didn't detect a volume (slow network or just turned off, you forgot to plug in the external drive etc), it would silently fail and immediately revert to the default locations where it would create a new library and would then equally silently merge it with the existing files once they became available again. So half your library would be external; half would not, and you'd basically have to start over and re-import everything to get it all back in order.

That has largely been fixed for quite some time now — if it fails to find a properly moved library now, it will fail loudly instead and give you the option to remedy things (or just quit) before continuing. It will still occasionally fail quietly (but not fully silently) if the connection is lost while Music/iTunes is running, but it only results in a “couldn't save the DB” error that you can just quit out of and restart to have it back in working order.

DROBO users, there's light at the end of the tunnel!

MacRumors forum and DROBO Community users are reporting that Big Sur 11.1 developer beta restores connectivity to DROBOs.

Yeah, that's the new numbering scheme.. no more 'Supplemental Updates' for Big Sur.. that'll be the third identifier.

If they update 11.1, it'll be with an 11.1.1.

Edit: looks like it's Apple's fault in regards to the DROBO issue (of course)

According to the developers of the Notion app, you can run homebrew x86 apps on your Apple Silicon Mac by doing the following:

Create a duplicate of the Terminal app in the Utilities folder.

Right click on the app and choose Get Info.

Rename the other version of the app into something recognizable.

Check off the "open using Rosetta" option.

That's it!

I just connected to an AFP volume (hosted by ExtremeZ-IP) on my Big Sur 11.1 beta development machine. Appleshare still workin' here, hoss. The reaper ain't here yet.

Support for old Appleshare authentication (that OS 9 and earlier used) was dropped all the way back in 10.8 or so (after being deprecated and needing a plist to reenable for a version or two) so those LC and G4 using holdouts would have cried foul years ago. ;) They certainly cried to me at the time when I had to give them the bad new that Services for Mac wasn't adequate in TYOOL 2011. Then again it wasn't adequate in 2006 either, but, whaddya gonna do.

Homebrew installs CLI apps, it's just a well thought out package manager, like Fink or MacPorts, it can also install GUI apps as casks

Apple doesn't have to approve the CLI apps AFAIK..

Well, I ran into my first Big Slur bug, and it's a doozy. If I connect a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter, then disconnect it, macOS still thinks it's connected and tries to access the network through it, ignoring my attempts to connect via WiFi. Only a restart fixes it. That breaks docking for now.

I don't have an M1 machine to test, but I'm sure you could just have a copy of one Terminal meant for ARM and another for x86..

Thunderbolt is hosed in Big Sur, but supposedly 11.1 may fix things..

So I just found out about the new Sealed System Volume function and the demise of kexts and I'm noooooooooooot sure how I feel about this. Especially since Big Sur's firewall framework (which apps like Little Snitch are required to use) exempts a bunch of apple apps from traffic management, whether the end user would manage them or not.

Apple finally gets around to updating Apple Remote Desktop, but now it requires Big Sur. Yeesh. :eng99:

The Sealed System Volume until recently made it impossible to create a bootable clone of any Big Sur install; Carbon Copy Cloner now can do it, but it has to do it the SuperDuper way: wipe the volume first and then perform the clone.

If DiskWarrior 6 ever materializes, it's going to have to recognize all the different APFS versions.. There's literally like at least 3-4 different versions and earlier versions of the OS can't read the versions of subsequent OSes, it's a goddamn nightmare management wise.

A High Sierra volume won't be recognized in Sierra; a Catalina volume may or may not show up in High Sierra, etc.

It's totally ludicrous, but I guess it's better than staying with HFS+ forever.
