I don't use places like "alternativeto" because they invariably gather programs that don't belong together because they share a feature. I was also hoping that other people here were digital pack rats like me and knew of an awesome program I could use.

Is there a way to view the speed of a download in Safari? El Capitan shows it sometimes, but not 90% of the time.

Is there any way to get Safari to start playing a Youtube video that's opened with a CMD-click without having to open the tab first?

If I'm concerned, I just check the Network tab in Activity Monitor (providing nothing else is moving).

Is there a way to sync your bookmarks, history, and saved passwords between Chrome on OS X and Safari on iOS? I prefer Chrome to Safari on the desktop but Safari is so much better than Chrome on the phone that I'll put up with desktop Safari so I can use the mobile one.

Opened up Garageband and it opened to a project automatically. I opened another project and didn't click save because I thought I had already saved it already. Turns out I was wrong! Can't find the project anywhere. Creation and death go hand in hand, but I'd love to be able to find this drat thing. Figured I could use time machine if I knew where to look, I just don't know where I'd look. I found ~/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Working Copies which sounded promising but it's got nothing in it for as far back as my time machine goes. Any thoughts on what directory I should restore? edit: Wait, if the project was open when I opened Garageband the project had to be saved somewhere, right? I guess I will just try and find the drat project. We can forget this post, but I will leave it here as a tribute to my stupidity. decypher fucked around with this message at 06:27 on May 20, 2016 |

To clarify, I just want to attach screencaps together into one larger image (I don't think the edit toolbar in Preview can do that, but I dunno), since multiple imgur links is kind of silly. I'm not familiar with editing software beyond Paint, or any of Google's online software offerings.  Nevermind, I found an online panorama maker.

Yes, XLD is great for that. Alternatively, you can pipe the files to something like lame/ffmpeg in the terminal.

That date, adjusted for your time zone, just means there's no date. The other one, I don't know, it probably just doesn't have the exact number of bits on the tin.

There are also some flash drives & SD cards that report a different capacity than what they actually have. I've usually seen it go the other way though (reporting more capacity than available) because that's a common thing to see when you get a Chinese knockoff instead of the real deal. In this case, probably just a slight mistake on Samsung's part.

Is there a reputable third-party mac software repo that hosts Thunderbird? I just want Thunderbird to stay updated without asking the user to invoke admin, but I'm not really prepared to underwrite central management for our macs at this moment. I figure it would be expedient, for now, to configure a package manager at the system level, as per the Apple store, but I'm open to suggestions.

So why is Safari a piece of poo poo? I've used it since El Cap launched because Chrome is a huge memory hog and cooks my Mac's GPU for some reason. Otherwise Safari is fine but it crashes constantly. Almost always when I close another Safari window or the downloads thing it just abruptly quits. Also I got rid of flash some time ago and YouTube on Safari is a mess; the videos are laggy as hell and seeking causes the YouTube player to crash.

I've never had a problem with Safari,unless it's some poo poo-rear end plugin (flash) that causes it, including streaming video. Chrome on the other hand, runs my computer hot as hell, sucks up memory like its pizza rolls on progression night, and makes my battery last half as long.

I used Chrome for a week or so just now because I was suspecting Safari being the cause of a pretty severe crash I've been having with Logitech Control Center (turns out it wasn't Safari) and it's so bad. It makes the whole machine run sluggish, and watching a video on Youtube, while it plays them fine, raises GPU temperature like crazy and the fans practically drown out the sound of the video. Safari plays the videos cool and quiet but stutters like crazy, seeking is impossible without having the video freeze constantly or having the whole player crash with that dark static thing. Granted my computer is old as hell at this point but it didn't use to be this bad. Guess I'll just have to suck it up and either suffer through stuttering, crashing videos and Safari quitting to desktop at a moment's notice, or using my MBP as a frying pan.

Ublock and a few others but it crashes even when they're not on. It never brings up the prompt to send a crash report to Apple either, I'll have a look at what console says the next time it happens.

Yeah, there's gotta be some other problem there. Safari is not a crasher for me, or for anyone I know. It's always been fairly stable, and ever since Apple made it a sandboxed-process-per-tab browser, the app as a whole essentially never crashes. On very rare occasions I do still experience a tab crashing, but in those cases the app does not crash out, it just has to restart the process for that tab (meaning the page the tab was on has to be reloaded). On exceedingly rare occasions I've seen one of those bugs where lots of tabs crashed and reloaded for some reason, but that was a long time ago with early versions of process-per-tab Safari.

When I upgraded to El Capitan, I had Safari completely lock up literally every time I tried to load a webpage, but the problem went away magically after a few hard reboots.

Vulture Culture posted:Apple's mostly been ignoring web everything since the iPhone got apps, because supporting modern technologies badly or not at all makes it a lot easier to keep up the walled garden on iOS. It's gotten like Internet Explorer in the Bad Old Days. You probably picked up these ideas from a silly clickbaity brouhaha about a year ago in which an idiot of a web dev chose that angle to get lots of attention for his extended whinefest about how mean Apple was for failing to support half-baked JS extensions the very instant they were thought up, which was his preferred deployment schedule. I mean, is it fair to say Apple's top priority is something other than web apps? Sure. Does that equate to them deliberately failing to support web app tech, or that Safari is the 'new IE'? No, not even close. (If anything's a candidate for The New IE, it's Chrome. An essential part of becoming an IE is to be so popular that web developers start targeting just that browser, rather than standards supported by all browsers. You've also got to implement lots of poo poo that nobody else has (yet). Chrome's a lot closer to that status on both counts than Safari. Not that I think there's actually a good argument for calling Chrome the new IE either, btw, just pointing out that it's the browser in position to become the new IE, not Safari.)

Chrome got super poo poo after they forked WebKit. I've got a list of about 20-30 Chrome specific bugs for our apps that I check on once in a while and any sort of complex CSS animation will cause about 200% CPU usage while Safari is pushing 30%.

Apple had no issue with supporting bleeding-edge web standards and end-running around W3C with the WHATWG when it meant bringing applications to the iPhone before they had an app store strategy. Now that it competes with their preferred way of delivering mobile content, they don't give a poo poo.
