Was curious about what he could do to make it work with SIP, so I checked this out. Apparently the "solution" consists of disabling SIP, installing TF/TS2 to a location under /System, then re-enabling SIP. OS X chooses to trust code under /System to a higher degree, so as long as they're installed there they can do their code injection even with SIP fully enabled.

The downside is that Apple tends to blow away non Apple provided stuff under /System in point release updates. Users of TF/TS2 who want to use the products without leaving SIP partially disabled forever have to go through the process of rebooting into recovery mode and using Terminal to reinstall under /System every time this happens. It sounds like one of the big focuses for the new guy is to come up with a method for automating this.

(The other downside is that it's still code injection, and code injection really does deserve to die a fiery death, and it probably will be made totally impossible sooner or later. Apple got really hosed over by widespread use of similar code patching back in the 'classic' MacOS days, and ever since the release of OS X 10.0 they've made it clear to developers that relying on patching is a ruinous long term plan because Apple will actively fight back against it.)

It's been ages since I've been on that site, but that sounds like their original "we're not supporting it, but if you really must here's how to do it" workaround. I though he was working on changing things so it's not using code injection. Or maybe that's for the other thing they have. There used to be an active thread on their forums where he'd post his progress.

Disappointing if there's been no real progress and it's still "disable SIP. Good luck."

If you could come up with a way of automating it, what would be the point of SIP in the first place?

Unfortunately, native commands don't work inside Powershell unless you launch Powershell from bash. :( I'd totally do it, otherwise.

A while ago, perhaps 1-2 OSX versions back, I added cowsay to (I think, but maybe not?) ~/.bash_profile to increase productivity. Cut to now, with macports installed and several OS upgrades through the system. bash_profile now just has commented text in it describing several macports bash_profile backups but is otherwise empty of any real commands.
My question is, since this cowsay is still increasing productivity by showing up when I start a terminal, where else on macOS could that command be living where it's being run?

Should be ~/.bashrc and also should only be called if you're not opening login shells or .bash_profile calls it. It's likely that .bash_profile calls it though.

Does anyone know what the difference between the "iCloud" and "Login" keychains are in Keychain Access? It seems that the login one has a bunch more stuff (public keys and certificates) but are the application and internet passwords replicated across?

Is there a good iPad app that supports the Apple Pencil for taking notes in class? I've seen a few for general notes, drawing, etc, but I'm hoping for something a bit more robust in its organizational capabilities.

OneNote. Gives you a three-level hierarchy (Section -> Page -> SubPage) and supports pencil writing fairly well, especially in the full-screen mode. It'll also sync (via Microsoft Account) to your other devices. Only down side is it takes a few days to get fully used to it on the iPad. It works a lot differently on Windows than on iOS or Android.

I'm a fan of Noteshelf.

It has stackable notebooks, backup to Dropbox, and will sync notebooks with Evernote if you use that.

Final Draft reader for iOS won't let you open a .fdx file properly from iCloud Drive whereas exporting it from Dropbox will open it without any problem. I'm saving a script to iCloud Drive and I want it to save to Dropbox as well so I can read it on my iPad when I need to :)

Thirded. The new(er) desktop app is quite expensive for a calendar, I'm just using v2 which was a menubar widget alone (plus the iOS app).

I have no idea if this is real or just perception, but ever since I installed the new iOS 10 beta, Airdrop has been really reliable. It went from it working half the time to working almost all the time. This is communicating between two iOS10 devices and an El Capitan laptop.

I don't think improved Airdrop support is listed in iOS10's feature set, but then again that would be Apple acknowledging our lovely Airdrop was previously.
