So today at work I had Sierra start syncing my work Desktop and Documents folders. Later I checked in iCloud and there it all was. Awesome.

What I didn't see were my Desktop files from my home computer. That was odd because I'd upgraded to Sierra at home the night before. So why hadn't it worked from home?

When I got home I checked to see if I'd enabled this syncing operation on my home machine. I hadn't. So I checked the box to enable it. But when I did it said I had too many files or too many nested folders to use this service. I poked around on Google to find out about this because I hadn't seen any reference to any storage limits. I couldn't find any information about this. So I moved some files off my desktop to see if I could get under whatever this limit I was bumping up against.

After moving a bunch of files, I tried again. Success! It let me do it. Then in a flash all the files on my desktop disappeared and were replaced by the files from my work desktop.

Arghghgghhgghgh!

correct. i do not have touch id on the ipad i use as my pos in the taco truck.
yeah, that's why. i don't like touchid, in part because you have to unlock the phone each time the display turns off. it's also not great security, so i'll just go with the passcode

wood covers and bumpers are really good, and they absorb heat excellently

they just tend to break into splinters if you drop them

i'd use a wood bumper now if not for the fact that customs snag the replacements sent by the company

my mom dropped her Mac Book Pro off where i work so our mac guy could fix it

apparently her trackpad stopped working properly because the battery got too old and puffed up (while still powering the laptop just fine)

Goodjob aple
all (apple) batteries do that over time

i'm sure there's a good reason for that, but "service battery" doesn't really convey that my laptop is slowly imploding and will be completely bricked if I don't replace the battery

so seriously though, the air is dead, and they're not refreshing the macbook lineup this time around? and imac and mac pro users can just go gently caress themselves?
