@lapcatsoftware Yep. That and the long-term tradeoffs are not well documented.

@lapcatsoftware I’m surprised more developers aren’t going nibless.

@handcoding @stevenf Looks like, officially speaking, the S500M and S510M haven’t been supported for a long time: fujitsu.com/global/support…

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to handcoding

@handcoding @stevenf I updated to Sierra immediately but have been running ScanSnap in a 10.11 VMware.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to handcoding

@handcoding @stevenf I have the S500M. So I’m not sure what this schedule means for us. :(

The “iTunes couldn’t back up the phone because the backup is corrupt” error seems to be from concurrently importing photos via Image Capture

Whose ideas was this PayPal web screen where the bottom half of the window is gray and the buttons are scrolled off the top half?

via Tweetbot for Mac

@chuq @reneritchie @Gartenberg @settern @jamesthomson Right, but it sounds like both sides agreed to the blog post, and he wrote the draft.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to chuq

@nibroc @danielpunkass Not so much a bug as a potentially confusing situation that developers need to be aware of.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to nibroc

@ClarkGoble @mmunz Seems like a major rewrite or refactor, but I don’t think this was ever officially talked about.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ClarkGoble

@mmunz No, I know that the public PDF frameworks are really buggy in 10.12.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mmunz

@mmunz I wonder how much of the OS’s PDF engine they use…

@peternlewis Seems like the apps should probably be updated to do that.

@otolithe Yeah, on first reading I thought they meant the reviews came from the same account, but apparently not.

@istumbler So you think they were posted by other accounts, and Apple determined they were fake?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to istumbler

@tapbot_paul I wouldn’t do it, but I haven’t seen a rule against it. Seems like it would only be fraud if the reviews were untruthful.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to tapbot_paul

@tapbot_paul That might be weird, but Apple’s dictionary says that fraud is “wrongful or criminal deception.”

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjtsai

@tapbot_paul I mean, are you not allowed to post thoughtful comments about another Twitter app?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to tapbot_paul

@tapbot_paul At first I thought they meant fake accounts posting paid-for reviews. But all the reviews were from the actual own account?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjtsai

@tapbot_paul Right. What makes a review fraudulent/fake?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to tapbot_paul

@TechWithMatthew I don’t know. Maybe. Still not sure where the fraud is. You’re not allowed to review other apps that are related to yours?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to TechWithMatthew

The account reviewed its own 25 apps and 975 other apps once? Which part of that is fraud?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjtsai

Does anyone understand what the “1,000 fraudulent reviews” means in practice?

via Tweetbot for Mac

@lapcatsoftware Pull-down: from the menu bar. Pop-up: button with 2 arrows for selecting options. Pop-down: button w/ 1 arrow for commands.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to lapcatsoftware

@lapcatsoftware It’s well established that the OS supports both and that they mean different things.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to lapcatsoftware

@lapcatsoftware Can you live tweet something that’s dead?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to lapcatsoftware

@lapcatsoftware Not really sure why drawers went out of fashion. Solved some issues better than multiple panes.

@milend When does Gatekeeper validate a non-app?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to milend

@rosyna @lapcatsoftware Yeah. Apple’s transcription is much better than its language understanding, in my experience.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@lapcatsoftware Yeah, that’s what I do with Google. iOS 10 doesn’t do that, AFAIK. And the e-mail doesn’t include the transcription text.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to lapcatsoftware

@lapcatsoftware I don’t use Gmail. Seems to be about as good as Google Voice.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to lapcatsoftware

iOS 10 voicemail transcription works well. Wish I could mark as “read” without having to press play.

via Tweetbot for Mac

Now I get multipart/alternative with one big text/plain inside *and* text/html even though I specified plain.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjtsai

I thought it used to alternate text/plain and image/jpeg inside of multipart/mixed.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjtsai

Did Apple Mail changed the way it sends messages with image attachments? If I have it set to Plain Text.

via Tweetbot for Mac

@rosyna Right. To me, the main point is the bigger picture. Fingerprints are unchangeable and less secret than passwords.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@rosyna Agreed. Is your point that they didn't unlock her actual phone?

@mcelhearn And, oddly, what it corrects to is sometimes not even a word.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mcelhearn

@mcelhearn There’s no “undo” button that I’m missing, is there?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mcelhearn

@petermaurer I don’t know. These are temporary files that I’m deleting shortly. (No progress indicator shown within trash can.)

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to petermaurer

@notio The annual cycle could work better if they were less ambitious about adding features and/or cut stuff that wasn't ready.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to notio

Most annoying part of iOS 10 auto-correct is that it is more aggressive about “fixing” things I had typed correctly.

via Tweetbot for Mac

@notio Wonder what will happen if the engineers have concerns about readiness. Schedule seems aggressive given what they shipped in Sierra.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to notio

@notio It’s like all the cloud issues we complain about, magnified. That said, Apple does have a good history with FS upgrades.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to notio

@notio File system upgrade challenges: all-or-nothing, incorrect behavior may not be immediately obvious, hard to look back and diagnose.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to notio

@notio Do you think you’ll have a choice with 10.13?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to notio

@lapcatsoftware Thank you for continuing to document all this.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to lapcatsoftware

@petermaurer Happened again. Looks like the xattr is cleared. So probably Finder rather than Chrome issue.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to petermaurer

@owensd Are there any known examples of top apps that actually did what Dash is accused of?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to owensd

@retrophisch I have a variation of that Columbia one (with black mesh instead of white). Very happy with it.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to retrophisch

@joaopmaia Probably, unless there are OS functionality restrictions on unsigned apps.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to joaopmaia

@joaopmaia Outside the App Store, but without a Developer ID certificate?

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to joaopmaia

@bzamayo Ah, OK. I didn’t save it either. Guess it was just scaling, not reflowing.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to bzamayo

@bzamayo I thought it was an image, too, but it also reflowed when I changed the window size. Confused.

@flyosity What’s weird is that I don’t think this was always an issue.
