@McCloudStrife Only if my job changed and I needed it for that. Otherwise, I would use Linux if I weren’t using a Mac. Never liked Windows.
@fzwob I had very few Mac Bluetooth issues until 10.12.2. Since then, unreliable, with third-party peripherals somewhat better than Apple’s.
@manytricks Very nice.
@grynspan Told fixed, still seeing them.
@vmwarecares Thanks, but I’m not seeing any problems with VMware. I’m just using it to help investigate Apple bugs in macOS.
@apontious Already broken for 6 months or so.
Just verified a bunch of PDF display bugs that were claimed to be fixed. All easily reproducible in a clean VMware with submitted test files
@mulle_nat Apple keyboard also misbehaves with cable. The other keyboards and mice that I like are wireless.
@DrMickeyLauer Hopefully there will be new desktop Macs and I’ll see whether that makes a difference.
@DrMickeyLauer Apple Hardware Test says it is, but no way to be sure. Some of these issues also affect other Macs and VMs.
@maikm Definitely for 10.8, probably once since, but I don’t recall when.
Logitech wireless mouse appears to be dead now. Switched to backup Microsoft mouse. Bluetooth, so it’s spontaneously disconnecting like KB.
@z31r4m I’ve done that and tested the memory, and the hardware seems to be OK. I’ve seen the same Mail crash from other Sierra users.
Services keyboard shortcuts seem to be busted.
@mjdrayton Mine, neither. Keyboard already disconnected once.
Several hard reboots later, macOS 10.12.3 finally installed. Mail crashed on first launch with internal inconsistency exception.
macOS 10.12.3 update stuck at 1 minute remaining for 45 minutes. Can’t remember the last time one of these worked normally.
Archived my old Aperture library. Given that it’s taking all morning just to empty the trash, this should greatly speed up future backups.

@danielpunkass My guess is that what you are doing will percolate down, though. Point is that it’s not only due to your using Python.
@danielpunkass Without that, Jenkins itself would actually see lines out of order, which messed up its parsing of test results.
@danielpunkass Interesting regarding “python -uâ€. I just drive xcodebuild directly from Jenkins and had to add “NSUnbufferedIO=YESâ€.

@nickheer Yes, I’ve seen it with the Magic Keyboard in wired mode.

@Jon_Alper Agreed. I’m just saying that Apple designed the system in such a way that made this possible. Didn’t have to be a gatekeeper.
@gruber your data. But because they only allow distribution through the App Store, China can compel them with apps.

@geoffhackworth Yeah, hard to believe it ran for 19.5 hours with the backlight on.
@geoffhackworth What does it mean if they do the exact same tests with the bug fix from Apple and get consistent results?
@geoffhackworth It’s also a well-known issue in science to change the number of results collected after you start seeing the data.
@geoffhackworth Except they reported the range of results, not just the 10.
@geoffhackworth Would also damage their credibility if they got surprising results and didn’t publish them. Hope there’s a good explanation.
@geoffhackworth I wonder what the timeline was. They did say that they found the results odd and reported them to Apple before publishing.

@sdagley Makes sense, but yes the time zone was correct.
@rosyna Yeah, in hotels I plug in my MBP, but that’s messy because it doesn’t like switching iTunes accounts.
@rosyna I was just looking into whether the 4 would solve the problem by letting me pre-download videos.
@rosyna Not for my Apple TV 3.
@rosyna There’s no app, just the command in Settings. I don’t remember what it said—very little info—but the gist was “no problems.â€
@dafacto Could be. Does plugging it in help?
@angeldominguez Yes, been like this for years, but only from the Apple TV. Streaming to phone and AirPlaying to TV is super fast.
New TV iPhone app is clunky and then has “Get More Episodes†to bounce me into the store app. I’d rather have an iPod-style set of lists.
@angeldominguez Yep, I tried two Wi-Fi networks and Ethernet, and it was taking 1 hour for a 20 minute show. Every other device is fast.
Even with all the storage, even the Apple TV 4 apparently can’t recache video content. :(
Apple TV again failed to download at reasonable rate, but speed test succeeded and AirPlay from iPhone was fast.
@McCloudStrife Yeah, I had no idea these existed. Seems like a great idea.
@McCloudStrife Yeah, pretty sure it requires USB-C.
@StephenFleming @zcichy I like not having a cable, though sometimes the audio is out of sync for a few seconds.
@bzamayo @zcichy Yeah, I’ve seen that, but not a problem for me. In fact, I usually only use one for phone calls so could always switch.
@zcichy About the battery or losing them?
@zcichy Right. Seems to not work as well if I leave them outside the case, for faster phone call answering.

@BryanPietrzak As far as I am aware, Photos does not sync projects at all. Glad glad to hear that you were not using any dropped templates.
@gruber Also note that Photos couldn’t import lots of iPhoto projects.
@gruber Yes, except for the initial iCloud Photo Library syncing bugs. To me “ready†is more about “can it replace†than stability.
Last few days, macOS 10.12 has been forgetting my Services preferences: re-enabling disabled ones and forgetting my keyboard shortcuts.
@octothorpe @tapbot_paul Now if only they would add a switch to remember the HDR setting…
@IfMatt Sounds very nice in theory, but I don’t know if I could ever trust it.
@peternlewis @gruber I miss LAN photo sharing. No easy way to access full-resolution family members’ photos with Photos.
@steipete They told you at WWDC that they don’t have tests? That’s surprising on multiple levels.
@z31r4m Does the Enter key (fn+Return) work for you? It sometimes just gives me a Return in Tweetbot.
@steipete Why do you say “no tests�
@gruber Except that Photos is still missing stuff that iPhoto could do, and the workflow isn’t as smooth, never mind Aperture.
@z31r4m So far, the K811 seems pretty good, although I wish it didn’t need a driver to make the normal function keys work.
@noelc I had just been saving as PDF, but maybe I should write an AppleScript to create a text file.
(Fantastical doesn’t print notes. BusyCal wants me to run an installer.)
Time to make year-end calendar archives, so of course Calendar is crashing when I try to print.
