Does anyone know of a Safari extension or something that will either fix or replace the Youtube search? I did a search a few minutes ago, and the “For You” section was full of videos of people getting murdered.

Quick interface question. When docking my MBP I have 3 external monitors in a row with the MBP open under the middle of the three; so a T shape. Is there a way to have the dock appear in the middle screen that has the MBP positioned under it? I'd ideally like for the screen that has focus to pull up the dock when Opt + CMD + D is pressed instead of it just popping up where ever I last moused to the bottom, but as best I can tell that's not OOTB functionality. Also CMD + Tab doesn't appear to pull up minimized apps, is that the intended design? I don't really understand why it would bother to list one if it doesn't actually do anything should you select it.

BobHoward posted:How to run it: make a plain text file, paste the script into it, then use 'chmod +x' on the script to make it executable. You can now run it just like it's a regular command line program. Thanks again for providing the script and the background! I finally got around to experimenting a bit with it and wow, did it provide a lot of dupes (with no deletion instructions). I originally assumed that the script was just checking filenames, but since it's comparing the hash, is it safe to assume that if the filename AND the hash matches, they can be safely deleted and only one of them would be preserved? I spot checked a file and it was duplicated twice and it was indeed the same photograph. It'd take me ages to manually canvas these individually. e: Not that I would likely be able to tell, but I do have the entire data set backed up in another location and the one I'm working with is separate, so can always restore the original dataset if necessary.

TraderStav posted:Thanks again for providing the script and the background! I finally got around to experimenting a bit with it and wow, did it provide a lot of dupes (with no deletion instructions). Yes. The script doesn't care about filenames unless you pass it the "-same" switch, which forces it to only compare files with the same name. Even then it's doing file content comparisons - it doesn't ever declare files as duplicates based on filename alone. It does two comparison passes. The algorithm is that the first pass hashes the first few kilobytes of every file, then compares all the hashes to generate a list of dupe candidates. The second pass is full-length rechecks of the dupe candidates, and it doesn't use hashing, it's a direct comparison. If you look at the printed output, files in the left hand column are those which will get deleted if you pass the "-d" switch. You can influence the script's choice of what to delete by passing it two or more directories to scan. It always checks all files in all directories you tell it to look at, but when dupes are found, if one resides somewhere under the first directory, it'll prioritize that one as the one to delete.

Interesting, believe I have followed you in that it's properly detecting duplicates based on the content of the file. Since I'm indifferent on which duplicates to delete, I think I will go through with the -d switch and work to merge all the folders into a single folder. Then painstakingly organizing from there. Thank you!

L O L Clearly I did something wrong, added -d at the end and boom, everything but the directories was deleted. Everything Command was ./FindDupes.pl /Users/username/GoogleTakeout -d Clearly I misunderstood how this was going to work. I would have thought it was going to flag every duplicate file and delete those, leaving one version of each. Directory structure \GoogleTakeout \GoogleTakeout\Takeout \GoogleTakeout\Takeout\Google Photos \GoogleTakeout\Takeout\Google Photos\[Album Name or Year of photo] \GoogleTakeout\Takeout 2 \GoogleTakeout\Takeout ... and so on. Copying over the backup from my server now. Will attempt again in the morning.

My work MacBook has started holding on to the Bluetooth connection to my headphones even when it's not playing audio. This is particularly annoying since the headphones are multi-point, so I used to be able to pause music on the laptop or leave a meeting and resume something on my phone. Now (I think since the 13.6 update) I have to disconnect the laptop from the headphones in order to hear anything from my phone. Is this some known issue? Is there a fix?

Does using iCloud storage do weird nonsense to your local filesystems like it does for Onedrive on Windows? I don't appear to have a Desktop directory anymore. The only one on the computer is now in the iCloud directory and appears to function as you'd expect the local one to.

To those folks who'd be interested, OpenCore Legacy Patcher v.1.0.0 has been released.. OCLP 1.0.0 will allow many older Macs to run with Sonoma 14.0, including many of the just-cut-off 2016 and 2017 Macs. The only big caveat with OCLP 1.0.0 is that there is no T1 support, which means stuff that needs the cryptographic framework like Touch ID, Apple Pay, and Apple ID login won't work.

You can disable it in System Settings > Applet ID > iCloud Drive. Looks like Desktop and Documents is what they offer for this right now, not individually either, all or nothing.

Yeah, looks like I did it the wrong way which was to enable OCLP boot then reboot and run the in-place updater.. needed to create a USB install stick, patch it with OCLP and boot / run the Sonoma installer off the stick Evidently OCLP needs to slipstream some patches into various system resources on the install image.. Some people say they get away with the updater but it doesn't work for me.. Edit: yup that did the trick, though I just did an install over the borked previous Sonoma. Everything (so far) works including snazzy desktop / wallpaper, though I have yet to test DRM'ed video.. the acid test will be WiFi and Internet Sharing which I need to work for some other outdated equipment.. BTW if anyone is looking for TrashCans be wary if you find one with a D300; Apple shipped a lot of units with defective D300s, they did have a repair extension devoted to that but I doubt they got all of them.. some people just shrugged it off if they weren't doing anything graphic intensive I found if I ran something like GLviewer I could get artifacts pretty easily after about 10-15 minutes of testing something intensive like Boxing King or whatever..

Nothing like a 500GB tarball sitting there No problem on the update, I had to do it for my own peace of mind. It was a 1-line bug too, so not hard to fix. Perl has this thing where referencing an array either returns its length or treats it as an array access. Which one you get is implicit based on the context of how you're using the array. The rules on this context-dependent behavior apparently changed between when I wrote the script and now. So, on the line where I intended to check the size of an array containing the list of duplicates for a file, instead it started checking for the existence of that array. The array always existed, even when zero length (no duplicates), which meant the "if" always evaluated true, which meant the script unconditionally deleted all files regardless of duplicate count. The fix was simple: just explicitly force scalar context, as I should have in the first place. (Or, as mentioned, past me should have written the thing in a more sane scripting language than Perl.)

Well, I am a poor so unless the RAM price drops to ridiculous levels I'll stick to the 16 GB I found already installed as it lay in the dumpster Definitely wait if you're doing mission critical stuff cause 14.1 beta does NOT work well with OCLP

OCLP 1.0.1 has been out for a while, been testing on a trash can and a mini 2012, seems to work ok with a few niggling issues Sonoma feels decent on the trash can, the screensavers leverage a lot of the screen blitting oomph of the D300/500/700s BTW, Apple has this system utility that works on any Mac that can run at least Ventura / Sonoma that can revive / restore a T2 / Apple Silicoid machine.. works well to wipe the machine clean to factory settings. Revive just reflashes the system firmware and / or iBridge firmware; restore reflashes all the firmware plus wipes the internal SSD and copies a ready-to-boot OS image to it. Basically you do a revive if you want to preserve user data, restore is when you wanna the scorched earth route of burning everything away, like after a malware incursion or you want to give the Mac to someone without giving up the data. You do have to be able to boot into DFU mode to use it but it seems foolproof past that. The utility will download an bootable OS image OTA directly to the Mac being serviced via a USB-C cable; strange that in this instance they specifically disallow using a TB3 cable. But what's nice is that you can use an Intel 2018 Mini to reflash an Apple Silicoid, they even allow the use of a USB-A to USB-C cable to do the download. Once the image is downloaded and verified by the utility, you can reboot the Mac and it'll go straight to the multi language OS greeting, no waiting around or double booting for the system to finish installing itself; it's been loaded with a prebuilt image. Presumably they use a similar process to load OSes onto laptops at the factory. That OS will be the latest supported OS for that model of Mac; Ventura if it's 2020 or older, Sonoma if it's newer.

I don't know that this is a specific Mac thing but I'm on a Mac so I figured I would ask here. Every once in awhile I make videos for my podcast, made up of clips from whatever TV show we're watching and set to a song we commission about the show/cast. So far, I've been using VLC to open the ripped episodes that are on my server, skim around until I find a scene, then use this ffmpeg command to pull the clip out: code:

Don't know about “better” or “cleaner”, but lossless cut certainly qualifies as “easier”, possibly with a side of subler to deal with adding a separate audio track on top. …but honestly, if you've gotten that far in understanding ffmpeg, it's such primal and core tool that everything else mostly ends up being a UI layer to do something you can do faster by typing.

I'll take a look at lossless cut, thanks. Fortunately I'm using FCP to disconnect the audio from the clips so I don't need to worry about that (although I only like to use clips where folks aren't talking and those are a pain in the rear end to find in normal tv shows).
