@McCloudStrife Maybe the Dell one will be better?

@McCloudStrife I already have a regular service. The issue is that the keyboard shortcuts in the Services menu no longer work reliably.

@McCloudStrife How would you invoke it with a hotkey?

2:01 PM, Jan 31st, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to McCloudStrife

@dafacto Not yet but planning to.

@DamienPetrilli Was wondering if was related to the optimization in my recent post…

@mlilback @danielpunkass Doesn’t it come back at next launch, though?

@genadyo Interesting. Was just talking with a normal this morning who didn’t know there was a separate iMessage App Store.

3:18 PM, Jan 27th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to genadyo

@McCloudStrife Yep, I did see that.

7:58 PM, Jan 26th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to McCloudStrife

@McCloudStrife Have I seen what?

7:52 PM, Jan 26th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to McCloudStrife

@Kentzo Yes.

8:26 PM, Jan 25th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to Kentzo

@Kentzo :( Haven’t seen that one.

8:24 PM, Jan 25th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to Kentzo

@SQLProApp Yeah, will be interesting to see whether the marketing aspect ends up being more important than the recurring revenue.

7:04 PM, Jan 25th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to SQLProApp

@McCloudStrife I try the latest stuff at the Microsoft store whenever I go to a mall. Recently used a friend’s laptop, which I think had 10.

5:23 PM, Jan 25th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to McCloudStrife

@McCloudStrife I would miss Lightroom, though.

5:02 PM, Jan 25th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to McCloudStrife

@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.

11:55 AM, Jan 25th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to fzwob

@manytricks Very nice.

11:24 AM, Jan 25th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to manytricks

@grynspan Told fixed, still seeing them.

11:15 AM, Jan 25th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to grynspan

@vmwarecares Thanks, but I’m not seeing any problems with VMware. I’m just using it to help investigate Apple bugs in macOS.

11:09 AM, Jan 25th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to vmwarecares

@apontious Already broken for 6 months or so.

@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.

9:37 AM, Jan 25th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to DrMickeyLauer

@DrMickeyLauer Apple Hardware Test says it is, but no way to be sure. Some of these issues also affect other Macs and VMs.

9:36 AM, Jan 25th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to DrMickeyLauer

@maikm Definitely for 10.8, probably once since, but I don’t recall when.

9:36 AM, Jan 25th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to maikm

@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.

11:08 PM, Jan 24th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac

@mjdrayton Mine, neither. Keyboard already disconnected once.

9:12 PM, Jan 24th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjdrayton

@manton2 @DreamHost Awesome.

@steipete Cool!

@lapcatsoftware @barrettjacobsen Right.

12:16 PM, Jan 23rd, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to lapcatsoftware

@barrettjacobsen @lapcatsoftware It sounded like the main difficulty was the Objective-C interoperability, not the i386 support.

@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.

6:58 PM, Jan 21st, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to danielpunkass

@danielpunkass Without that, Jenkins itself would actually see lines out of order, which messed up its parsing of test results.

6:57 PM, Jan 21st, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to danielpunkass

@danielpunkass Interesting regarding “python -u”. I just drive xcodebuild directly from Jenkins and had to add “NSUnbufferedIO=YES”.

6:51 PM, Jan 21st, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac

@lucvandal Congrats!

1:51 PM, Jan 20th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to lucvandal

@rjonesy @nickheer Could be that, too. I turned off autocorrect because the suggestions seemed to be less helpful given seemingly same input

12:39 PM, Jan 17th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rjonesy

@nickheer Autocorrect seems to have really gone downhill.

12:29 PM, Jan 17th, 2017 via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to nickheer

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

5:03 PM, Jan 16th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to nickheer

@dafacto In my code “expected” means the API returns an error, and “unexpected” means got an exception from API that says it never fails.

@z31r4m How are you cross posting?

9:20 PM, Jan 13th, 2017 via Tweetbot for iΟS

@z31r4m Any idea what the regex was?

1:23 PM, Jan 13th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac

@z31r4m Thanks. I have an account but never check it because there’s no native client and I don’t know anyone there (except you, I guess).

1:20 PM, Jan 13th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac

@Jon_Alper Could be.

10:20 PM, Jan 12th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to Jon_Alper

@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.

9:31 PM, Jan 12th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to Jon_Alper

@gruber your data. But because they only allow distribution through the App Store, China can compel them with apps.

8:14 PM, Jan 12th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjtsai

@gruber The NYT-China situation is of Apple’s making. Apple rightly doesn’t want to be in position where they could be compelled to give up

8:13 PM, Jan 12th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac

@McCloudStrife I mean like Python/Ruby where the code works without entering any types.

4:07 PM, Jan 12th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to McCloudStrife

@apontious Yes.

3:33 PM, Jan 12th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to apontious

@ejknapp @lapcatsoftware I never did get used to them that way.

9:48 PM, Jan 11th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to ejknapp

@geoffhackworth Yeah, hard to believe it ran for 19.5 hours with the backlight on.

4:16 PM, Jan 10th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to geoffhackworth

@geoffhackworth What does it mean if they do the exact same tests with the bug fix from Apple and get consistent results?

4:12 PM, Jan 10th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to geoffhackworth

@geoffhackworth It’s also a well-known issue in science to change the number of results collected after you start seeing the data.

4:08 PM, Jan 10th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to geoffhackworth

@geoffhackworth Except they reported the range of results, not just the 10.

4:07 PM, Jan 10th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to geoffhackworth

@geoffhackworth Would also damage their credibility if they got surprising results and didn’t publish them. Hope there’s a good explanation.

3:56 PM, Jan 10th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to geoffhackworth

@geoffhackworth I wonder what the timeline was. They did say that they found the results odd and reported them to Apple before publishing.

3:40 PM, Jan 10th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to geoffhackworth

@OluseyiSonaiya If they fit you, they really stay in amazingly well. But I hope they make more sizes or license or something.

@geoffhackworth I guess, but why do that when there’s a setting?

@jgordonshare Yes, interesting considering that they seem to be stretched thin.

@McCloudStrife Couldn’t it be designed to work closed but still work better when open?

@SQLProApp @zcichy If only one is in use, it would work the same way as now.

8:39 PM, Jan 8th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to SQLProApp

@zcichy Yep. If they can’t add buttons, I wonder if it would work to have double-tap do something different for each ear.

4:23 PM, Jan 8th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to zcichy

@jgordonshare Yep, the LinkedIn story is in my drafts folder. Wonder whether the timing is a coincidence.

@McCloudStrife GPU processor use is virtually zero, according to iStat Menus.

@rosyna Yeah, in hotels I plug in my MBP, but that’s messy because it doesn’t like switching iTunes accounts.

10:39 AM, Jan 6th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@rosyna I was just looking into whether the 4 would solve the problem by letting me pre-download videos.

10:34 AM, Jan 6th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@rosyna Not for my Apple TV 3.

10:31 AM, Jan 6th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@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.”

10:28 AM, Jan 6th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@dafacto Could be. Does plugging it in help?

9:19 AM, Jan 6th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to dafacto

@angeldominguez Yes, been like this for years, but only from the Apple TV. Streaming to phone and AirPlaying to TV is super fast.

8:06 AM, Jan 6th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac

@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.

8:04 AM, Jan 6th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac

@McCloudStrife Yeah, I had no idea these existed. Seems like a great idea.

8:12 PM, Jan 5th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to McCloudStrife

@McCloudStrife Yeah, pretty sure it requires USB-C.

8:10 PM, Jan 5th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to McCloudStrife

@StephenFleming @zcichy I like not having a cable, though sometimes the audio is out of sync for a few seconds.

4:29 PM, Jan 5th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to StephenFleming

@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.

4:14 PM, Jan 5th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to bzamayo

@zcichy About the battery or losing them?

4:13 PM, Jan 5th, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to zcichy

@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.

4:06 PM, Jan 3rd, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to BryanPietrzak

@gruber Also note that Photos couldn’t import lots of iPhoto projects.

3:28 PM, Jan 3rd, 2017 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to gruber

@gruber Yes, except for the initial iCloud Photo Library syncing bugs. To me “ready” is more about “can it replace” than stability.

@gruber Except that Photos is still missing stuff that iPhoto could do, and the workflow isn’t as smooth, never mind Aperture.
