BobHoward posted:There are exceptions. Apple's own apps (and third party apps written to Apple's guidelines) try to minimize activity whenever there's no user-visible (or user-audible) effects. So, if you have a Safari window open with a bunch of tabs, all the tabs that aren't the selected tab have substantial restrictions on how much javascript etc. they're allowed to run. If the entire window's obscured, whether because you've hidden the app, other windows are in front of it, or it's in a different space, same deal. I have a 2015 MacBook Pro 13" base model running Big Sur. In order to squeeze as many frames as possible out of games, I am in the habit of quitting all open apps — pretty much all Apple apps (Calendar, Mail, Safari, Messages) with only two third-party apps (1Password & Things). Is what I'm doing unnecessary?

Is what I'm doing unnecessary? I wouldn't expect Calendar, Mail, or Messages to ever matter. On an 8GB computer like yours, Safari with a lot of open windows/tabs could use enough memory to make things uncomfortable for a game that needs lots of RAM, so it might make a difference even if Safari is successfully preventing itself from using lots of CPU. A lot depends on the game, too. What games are you doing this for?

Cant you just create a second shortcut to terminal and go to properties and set it to open with Rosetta? Everything inside that will run in x86

Most 2D indie games shouldn't care about CPU use much, try just leaving poo poo open and see IMO. Emulation can easily be harder on the CPU than a native 2d platformer, btw.

I've found emulation to be the strongest test of a computer's CPU and GPU that exists. Not only do you emulate an entire architecture, but you do so in ways that are often counter to the host's preferred ways of doing things.

Did you wait until they synced? iCloud Keychain takes a bit longer than other iCloud things to initially sync, also depending on a few verification things it may not be enabled by default, was it checked iCloud settings?

I believe that when you're using iCloud Keychain, passwords are saved in a virtual cloud-based keychain and are not a part of the local keychain in the same way iCloud Drive files or iCloud Photos might be on the local filesystem and backed up. Only certs and other hardware UUID-specific things are on the local keychain that gets backed up via Time Machine. The only way to back up the iCloud Keychain with Time Machine is to disable iCloud Keychain. This causes macOS to snapshot + copy the iCloud keychain to the local keychain and Time Machine will back up the local keychain entirely, passwords and all. E: If your iCloud Keychain is still completely bonked, I believe you can talk to Apple Support and they may be able to restore an older version of the iCloud keychain from their end.

Like definitely that's an emulator. Originally, as I understand, Wine wasn't an emulator; just a set of alternate library functions - because the code had ASM for the same processor architecture (x86), but used different library functions, it acted as a compatibility layer to the OS. Now it's acting as a compatibility layer to macOS's x86 emulator, soooooooo...?

Hmmm, interesting that installing Big Sur will force your rMBP's BootROM to be updated yet again, presumably with things like modified drive icons and Intel microcode bugfixes for CPUs against Spectre and Meltdown embedded inside. Think Rossmann has a video somewhere devoted to how Apple causes Macs to blow up by using lovely flash memory to hold the BootROM and that by constantly updating the firmware (he would call it BIOS) it ruins the flash chips, bricking the Macs since the BootROM is needed for booting..

OK, what magic do I need to perform to get my Big Sur MBP to unlock with my Apple Watch? I’ve tried turning it on and off, toggling Bluetooth, rebooting everything, surgery on my keychain, and it still tells me it can’t connect to my watch. Also, when I try to turn off iCloud Keychain it prompts me with a warning then briefly clears the checkbox before checking it again on me all of its own accord. Am I dying?

Yeah a couple people I work with have been bitten by this. I have a 16” Huion pro as does a buddy and he can’t get his to work on his M1 13”. He’s still got his iMac but says he’s tried a bunch of stuff and it just don’t work. I’m sure it’ll get sorted by the time the next Pro rev of AS happens though.

Transmission 3.0 and Big Sur 11.0(.1) don't seem to play well together and I'm not entirely sure why. Suddenly it was refusing to connect to more than a handful of peers, even with port forwarding, even when using a VPN, with or without μTP enabled. I uninstalled it and reinstalled Transmission 2.94 and everything works fine.Arson Daily posted:Anyone else having finder open a new window every time you click the finder icon in Big Sur?

Does anyone else have a problem with the balance of music playing on their Mac, and for me, also their iPhone? For me, this has been a problem before Big Sur, but I only found out that it was happening recently in this case. I'm playing a song that has the back and forth between the left and right speakers. (In this case, Tarantula by Smashing Pumpkins, about 1:30 in where the guitar solo moves from speaker to speaker.) The guitar solo playing from the right speaker is much louder/clearer than when it moves to the left speaker. I've had this happen in my car, but it has a blown speaker in the door there, so I thought it was just that. However, I noticed it was doing that from iTunes last night. I opened up the mp3 in Audacity, and found it is playing properly from that program however. I don't have an equalizer set for that song, or in iTunes in general. The balance is set properly in the System Preferences, which makes sense considering Audacity has no problem playing it properly. Anyone else notice this? Or know how to fix it?

It's really interesting that basically all statistics applications are not able to run natively on ARM due to a lack of FORTRAN support, even modern ones like Julia. Seems like these things have been built on really shaky foundations.

So I have a 2013 Mac Air, updated to Big Sur. Both before and after, iCloud photos will not sync. I go to iCloud in the main settings, select photos, it gives a think circle and then just nothing. remains unchecked. is this a known issue, or any work around ?

It's possible that the beta stream 11.0.1 and the release stream 11.0.1 have different internal identifiers, and the release stream version compares higher. I don't know a ton about how Apple manages its build and delivery, but I've worked with a number of systems that have that property and I think it's relatively common.

Man, there's a lot of things I'm really liking about how macOS handles multiple workspaces. I can have one desktop that is setup for leisure and one for work and I can even set up applications so that they are mirrored on both desktops. For instance, I could have my email app set to be open on both desktops so that even if I minimize one I can easily bring it back and it will retain the same state on both desktops. Then it's an easy swipe of three fingers to go between work mode and play mode. I barely ever use the multiple workspaces in Windows because it was kind of sluggish to move between them and it didn't have elegant ways to get them set up exactly how you want them.
