Oh yeah for sure, there are folks who won’t really see the connection and just think “hey this pos doesn’t work” which is fine. I’m also sure there’s times where Keychain has actually hosed up and I don’t remember, I just find that its day to day utility far far far outweighs any small issues I may have encountered. My biggest ACTUAL problem with keychain isn’t actually a keychain problem, it’s when websites have a password limit of like.. 10 characters and I can’t make keychain give me a shittier password

Ugh yeah that too. After it auto-fills a password it doesn't give you the option to change it or even copy-paste it into TextEdit so I can save it manually if I have to. I've more than once had to copy it BY HAND letter by letter, and it FADES OUT left-to-right so you can't make out the last letter AAAUUGHGHHH YOU FUCKERS.

https://www.macrumors.com/2021/10/23/macos-monterey-features-intel-incompatible/ Well, Object Capture is obviously not a deal breaker, neither is background blur in FaceTime (which Zoom does perfectly fine on my now poo poo 2014 rMBP, and Teams on my 2015 rMBP) but the 60 second limit (vs. forever for M1) for dictation for Intel seems forced/artificial. So do the extra details in the Interactive Globe. Seems more like 'we're not gonna pay our own programmers to do Intel code for everything anymore..'

Binary Badger posted:https://www.macrumors.com/2021/10/23/macos-monterey-features-intel-incompatible/ Nah, the dictation thing is MacRumors being poo poo at summarizing Apple's feature list. Before Monterey, dictation uploaded audio to an Apple server for processing, and was limited to 60 seconds on all Macs. In Monterey, the new M1 feature is on-device dictation. Not only does this protect your privacy, Apple removed the 60 second limit since it puts no load on their network or servers. Intel Macs are stuck uploading to the cloud, and still have the old limits. That, Object Capture, and FaceTime background blur all seem likely to be Apple designing ML software exclusively for Apple's neural engine. They could make at least some of it work on x86 CPUs if they wanted to put in the effort, but I suspect these are all features where M1 Macs are getting a free ride on work that's really targeted for iPhones.

Yeah Bob your corrections are spot on, I need to remember that MacRumors operates on a clickbait level mentality that enjoys itself the most when its sensationalizing trivialities found in iFixit take-aparts.. Speaking of which, Object Capture system requirements point up the fact that it will never run on lower end Intel MBPs / iMacs / Minis since when was the last time an Intel integrated GPU had access to more than 1.5 GB of RAM?

💩💩💩 It's Apple Updates Day! 💩💩💩 Apple pinched out the following: Security Update 2021-007 for macOS Catalina macOS 11.6.1 Big Sur and of course macOS Monterey 12.0.1 no feature lists or bug fixes or any of that poo poo. 11.6.1 only available as delta patch, full installer probably in the next few days.. All these patches listed also include updates for BootROM on Intels and likely enhancements to startup code on M1s / T2 firmware updates.

Mr. Smile Face Hat posted:Do you have some examples? I'd be interested. I can't necessarily point to this release -> this problem, or even give you an extensive list of grievances, but macOS lacks its former luster. My biggest annoyance these days is with hotkeys. In Finder: ⌥⌘W Close All: does not work if you have a tab open on the active window. It closes all tabs except the active tab on the active window only. All other windows stay open In Preview: ⇧⌘E Export: doesn't work unless you "expose" the option first, either clicking on File in the menu bar or via search (⇧⌘/). I know there are others, as well as other general UX issues, but I don't really remember them off the top of my head. Those are the two I run into most often. edit: typo~ Toe Rag fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Oct 26, 2021 |

TACD posted:I'm willing to forgive everything for the inclusion of this option. Even if they'd never rolled back the Safari changes, this would have been worth it. Actually speaking of the menu bar, is there any way to disable its transparency without resorting to disabling all transparency in the OS via accessibility? I thought there was but I can't find it so either I made it up or they removed it. Not super fussed either way since I guess I'm going to choose a dark background -- dark mode has accustomed me to physically wince at a bright UI these days

What are "shortcuts"? Some kind of AppleScript . . . thing? My current Macs can't run Monterey, and my new MBP won't get here for another few weeks, so I can't try them out. All anybody says about them is that "they're like on your iPhone", but I don't use iOS, so I have no idea what they're talking about.

Mercurius posted:I've been using a nice little app called Boring Old Menu Bar which allows you to customise the menu bar and seems to be working on Monterey so far (although I have no idea how it'll go with the notch in the new MBPs). I just set it to plain black (like the top bar in iPadOS or like Catalina used to do) and it works with the inverted icons even when you have the rest of the UI set to light: This app is pretty cool. I think it takes a screenshot and somehow changes your desktop background. It sort of outlines its process when you change the menubar settings. So I'd guess that however the notch is handled in screenshots (probably blacked out?), this app will reflect that and probably work okay?
