Duckman2008 posted:Any rumors on what Apple would potentially be adding to the next OS X update? I'm guessing that is pretty likely at WWDC. That 10.10 will be announced at WWDC is as close to a sure thing as these things get. There's supposedly going to be an iOS 7-like redesign, but nobody seems to know what that means specifically. Besides that, I haven't read anything besides guesswork.

Did something change with the trackpad sensitivity on 10.9? It feels like it detects the slightest movement of my finger now which is annoying when scrolling, before it felt like I actually had to intentionally slide my fingers on the pad for the cursor to move. I'm pretty sure when I was using 10.8 it felt more intelligent, now it reminds me of how the trackpad works when booted into windows. e: it seems to mostly be scrolling sensitivity that's the problem, and the tracking speed slider doesn't do anything.

Has anyone else experienced Contacts.app in 10.9.3 refusing to look up addresses in an Exchange GAL? The Exchange Global Address List shows as empty (as it should), but typing stuff in the search box on other clients brings up results. On this particular one it does nothing. I haven't gotten far enough in yet to try a different user account but that's my next step. The Exchange GAL is an Office 365 thing.

Heads up for anyone happening to use TrueCrypt, this is is uh,  http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/05/truecrypt-is-not-secure-official-sourceforge-page-abruptly-warns/ Hopefully just a(n elaborate) site hack but you probably want to keep an eye on the situation for a bit and see what's going on.

Duckman2008 posted:Quoting to mention that I use 1password and overall love it, but holy hell is the android app bad. As mentioned it doesn't auto fill (which already is disappointing but liveable) and the app always, always takes about 15 seconds to open. Relief is finally coming on June 10th!

Funny you say that, after posting my rant I got mad and emailed the 1 password Android email about the issues. Super quick and super nice response, they gave me a link to the beta, and I can confirm it overall works really nicely. Basically the iOS app but Android. You can actually look at the app without blanching! I am bought on board. It does not yet have Chrome integration for Android, which would be nice but I really wouldn't sweat it that much if they don't do that.

I'm not sure if this goes here, but I have Sublime set up for two columns maximized on one of my desktops, and I leave this window open pretty much all the time. However, sometimes I want to open up a new window using subl -n, and have it only open with one column, on half the screen. Is there a way I can set that up?

Does anyone know how to restart Google Drive if it stops responding? Sometimes it'll freeze up and not update the folder. I can still put files in the folder, but it won't upload and sync it across my other devices. It doesn't show up under Force Quit. I usually end up having to restart my laptop but I feel like there should be a way for me to quit the program without restarting my laptop.

Edit: I'm on 10.9 Doesn't MS Office have a Save to PDF feature now? Or maybe that's just on Windows. *That* should maintain hyperlinks. Any kind of print function won't ... that kind of data isn't in the print stream unfortunately ... (I used to work in document services). You could always mark up the PDFs after the fact. :/

I thought print to PDF was still all that was available, and as Pivo mentioned, printers don't care too much about links. Just wait until hyperlinks on physical paper do work. Oh-ho-ho. Using save as PDF, filesize wasn't really an issue, either. I had a 30 page doc with some images here and there, and the change in size was 1.1 MB --> 1.4 MB. Not bad at all. Thanks guys.

One day we got a angry, flustered old woman trying to use one of the rental computers... Turns out she'd called up the web browser on the computer, and was sitting in front of it tapping a link on a paper printout of an email she'd brought from home and couldn't understand why the browser wouldn't go. I wish I could say this was out of the ordinary for a kinko's customer.

No amount of digging will necessarily expose any potentially uhhh unwanted features implemented by the developer. You are saying this in the month of May of tyool 2014, when Heartbleed should be a thing that is near to the top of your mind. OpenSSL was open source and had been through audits and neither of those things prevented one of the worst uhhhh "unwanted" features I have ever heard of from creeping in. Access to source is a tool for evaluating the quality of a crypto system. But It isn't the only tool, nor is it anything like a guarantee that you will know about problems. Many of the worst open sores security fiascoes weren't even discovered by source inspection. I have no opinion worth sharing re: TrueCrypt because I have not followed that situation very closely, but claims that open source is a magic security wand always rub the wrong way.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:I've never once had an issue with this since switching to OS X with 10.4, so I'm not sure what sort of problems you've encountered. It's worked every time I need to do it. poo poo, am I thinking of the other way around where getting them on flash drives was a pain? The last time I worried about setting up bootable stuff was when my windows PC died and I eventually just copied the ISO to the flash drive I was using and making it bootable on a friend's copy of windows because I just couldn't get it to boot otherwise..

When it comes down to PC-bootable CDs and DVDs, you can pretty much just: dd if=the.iso of=/dev/disk# bs=2048 Where the # is the number of the volume currently mounted from the flash drive you are trying to write to. A lot easier than futzing with random tools which format the drive FAT32 and copy the files over manually. It may even work for Mac-bootable CDs and DVDs, but I haven't needed to boot any media on a Mac in ages. In fact, the last time I needed to update a Macbook from 10.5 to 10.6 in the field, with no optical media handy (and even if I did have a burnable DVD, the Macbook only had a combo drive capable of burning CDs), I just shrunk the root partition on the Macbook, created a new HFS+ Journaled partition of about 8GB, restored the install media DMG to it, then ran the installer. (This process is 100% necessary, as 10.6 and older were not designed to install from downloadable packages, so they need to be able to find the install media during and after the boot process.)

And what exactly could a NSL do with TrueCrypt? They don't have any secrets or information on users to give, and I haven't heard of any legal process that'd force a developer to add code to software, especially an open-source one.

BetterSnapTool still wins because it replaces the functionality of Zooom/2 as far as using modifier keys + mouse movement to move or resize windows Once you get used to holding shift+CMD+mouse movement to move windows around (and/or shift+alt+ mouse movement to resize a window) there's no going back to the normal slow rear end way of window management.
