I have a MacBook Pro 2007 running Ventura. for the last couple of years when it should be sleeping/lid is closed, I notices it connects to the Internet for a short while and disconnects again. I usually see this if I am on my PC in the same IRC channel I have connected on my MacBook that it joins/parts. I have googled this behavior before and have checked the battery settings "Wake for network access" and set it to Never, but just now I decided to check logs and such for the first time and found this: https://paste.quest/?e9e0a142ec021c69#AUdmXwfCnHsQaHA5XZDgm6sr3t9uvqELqxvMs5Rovgbr Why is it doing this and can I make it just sleep till I wake it myself?

There isn’t really a MacOS version anymore since it is being or has been retired. The version that did exist wasn’t the same thing, anyway. It was a different app that a third party created and then MS bought them. It was focused more on making iOS apps and not much else. Very limited what you could actually create with it.

What's the general thought on the Thunderbird email client? My mom recently passed away, and she did all of the account management/banking/appointments/etc. for her and my dad. My dad is 81, computer illiterate, and has no interest in learning how to really use one, so I've taken over the responsibility of managing their accounts, banking, etc. I'm already using the Mail app for my account, and was thinking of using Thunderbird (or another client) with theirs so I can more consistently monitor it instead of using OWA for their

I’m very in the camp of ‘there’s no point complaining about how Apple does something, because they won’t change’, but please let me old man yells at iCloud for a moment. Kinda mad that I’ve finally gone fully legit and wiped my Apple Match library that I’d maxed out to go fully in with Apple Music to find the client on macOS is locked to the OS version and the Monterey one is lacking a bunch of basic stuff out like AM Playlist Folders, so all my structure breaks. It’s an ongoing paid service so separate it out, hell the drat lovely Windows iTunes client works with some of this stuff from what I’ve seen, why can’t something from 2 OS revisions do too.

I went through YCombinator and the CEO of Superhuman spoke in a session. He said basically their whole user base is C-level people and startup founders who are obsessed with saving seconds at a time, and the selling point in the beginning was purely UI speed and keyboard commands. They hyper-optimized the UI speed, only worked with Gmail accounts, only on Mac, and were able to charge $30 bucks a month for it. Their session was on understanding user desires in a given market, and optimizing for them.

Getting decent with *nix and CLI tools has really robbed a lot of the attraction of buying Mac apps for me. Half of the popular stuff on sale is just a gui wrapper for some FOSS stuff. Good for people who don’t want to bother with that though.

For some reason the storage bar shows that I have almost 100 GB of “System Data” in my MacBook Air. I’m nearing capacity, which is really inconvenient considering I don’t really have all that much stuff. Research I’ve done so far has led me to usual suspects like Clean My Mac and Onyx by Titanium. I’m just not sure if it’s the best way to solve the issue. I don’t want to delete anything important. For context, the MacBook is new (bought last summer), but I transferred all of my stuff from my old one with Time Machine. So I most likely imported the junk as well.

I remember it being a bit buggy at release. A 2007 would be capped at El Capitan 11.6 something. Are you running the latest for your machine? You can start a HAUS thread if you like too. EDIT: Saw it was probably a typo, 2017/Ventura. Do you have external devices, mouse/kb/touchpad/storage plugged in? Do you use Outlook or the Mail.app for emails? Both have options for waking the computer. Any water damage or has it gotten damp at any point? These have touchy hall effect sensors placed right at the edge, it could be waking due to liquid damage? Edited edit: Looking at the log, the reasons are: maintenance, ARP request, Lid open, Alarm maybe do a pmset -g and post the results?

BUUNNI posted:Literally everyone I talk to understands that "Powered by AI" means it will be absolute trash but for some reason every tech company is all in on it lol Large tech companies are absolutely terrified of getting "disrupted" into irrelevance. Witness how almost every single version of Windows (or spin-off version) was Microsoft chasing perceived threats and then tearing that poo poo down when they realized that the market wasn't going the way they expected. Windows 8 was the worst example of this; turns out that no, Apple wasn't going to replace the Macs with iPads. Re: AI specifically, there are definitely uses for it. I'm extremely tech-skeptical but even I see that. I think people overestimate it by a large margin but there's no reason why it couldn't be used to help create a better Siri, for example.

Oh for sure. I’ve been poking around with LLMs (offline local versions of GPT basically) and there is some potential there. That said it’s a nightmare to read up on any aspect of them as 99.999999% of the stuff out there is either written by a grifter, cultist true believer, or someone trying to have sex with the AI model.

As much as I roll my eyes at anyone touting AI-anything, I will 1000% believe *GPT or whatever could tell me "what's traffic like up ahead?" which to this day Siri can't make heads or tails of. It is literally the only question I could ever imagine asking Siri and it has absolutely no idea how to handle it

I think the last thing I asked was (while driving and hooked into CarPlay), "How do I get to my next appointment?" only for it to read me a summary of the next thing on my calendar. Before that I'd tried "pause the living room Apple TV" on my watch, and it derped out with "I can't do that on your Apple Watch." WELL WHY THE gently caress NOT? We're at the end of 2023 and all I regularly use Siri for is to set timers, because it's still too stupid to do anything else.
