Yeah, very annoying. But it still falls under 'great feature but its for older hardware' so while I'm hoping they put it back, I'd expect they don't.  Edit: this is about VP9 hardware acceleration accelerating 8K YouTube videos in the new Safari in Big Sur BTW, Safari 14.0 on Catalina / Mojave is missing the VP9 experimental choices which leads me to think it's at the OS level Binary Badger fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Sep 18, 2020 |

Binary Badger posted:Guess that's why Apple updated the Safari in Big Sur dev Beta 7 to 14.0.1. Yeah, I don't know wtf Apple is doing, they removed 1440P/4K YouTube support on the final release of iOS 14 as well. It had been working for nearly the entire duration of iOS 14 Beta (since Beta 1), and now is gone again on the GM/final release. I'm getting really sick of this poo poo.

Why does it take an hour to "prepare to update" to iOS 14 on a plugged-in, charged Gen5 iPad? Why do I have to sell my firstborn to convince it that I don't charge it, nor my phone, during the night, so I really, really want it to upgrade during the day? Christ.

Download the thing, apply the thing. Don't do them simultaneously and introduce potential issues because of network fuckups, etc., that just adds unnecessary complication. If you don't have enough free space on your device to fully uncompress and then update, you should probably not be updating that device! But we are of course talking about Apple, here.

Having issues with icloud tabs since buying a new iphone. It has not worked at all since then. Macos 10.14.5 Iphone se 2020 with ios13.5.1 Tried it on two computers with 10.14.5 and neither show the ios tabs. Ios won’t show the mac tabs. already signed in and out of icloud a billion times, same network, different network, etc. It used to work with my old ios 12 iphone. The only thing i can find is that you need macos 10.14.4 or newer for ios13 Ideas?

I'm having some trouble with a RAID backup that I'm trying to run (for the first time in a while). I've got an eight-bay MediaSonic ProRAID box striped into two volumes of RAID 5, connected via a USB2 PCIe card to my Mac Pro 5,1. When I got the box and HDDs about a year ago, I ran the backups using GBP3 and it went off no problem. The ProRAID enclosure has sat powered down since then. The other day, I tried to run it again and had some issues. The first volume seemed to take forever; I left for work and came back eight hours later to see it sitting at 12.41%, copying some .nki file from my Kontakt libraries. I stayed up until early the next morning and it didn't budge. I stopped the backup and tried to run the second backup volume, and when I turned my monitors on this morning it had crashed. If it does this again next time I'll pull the crash logs, but any ideas as to why this is happening? EDIT: Another friend seems to think this 'backup' system I have is silly and unnecessary. Yes, I'm aware having a RAID array isn't really a true backup. I just want to have something I can run every few months and turn off again so that I don't lose anything critical if one of my internal SSDs/HDDs goes down. Is there a better piece of software than GBP3 more suited to this end? I assume just manually copying everything in Finder is out of the question.

If you're that worried about it you should be putting it in Backblaze or something. Quit causing yourself headaches for no reason because that is an *incredibly* convoluted solution.

Those services all do incremental backups (overnight by default) so they shouldn't have a noticeable affect on your bandwidth after the initial upload unless you are generating enormous volumes of new data every day and it all needs to be backed up. And I'm pretty sure they offer a "mail us an external HD" option if you want to skip that initial upload step. You need an off-site backup anyway, a house disaster that takes out your computer is also likely to take out your raid box. withak fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Sep 19, 2020 |

Powering down drive arrays is bad juju. Build a NAS. Store stuff on the NAS, or sync to NAS. It's not a backup; it's resilient storage. You can sync the NAS to cloud with rclone for offsite backup. I like S3 Glacier but rclone supports everything. Intermittent sync via USB to an array you power cycle and leave to rot in an unknown state is not how to archive your stuff.

TACD posted:What's wrong with Time Machine? It has a great fondness for breaking silently, without warning, and without any ability to resume other than to restart from scratch. With a bit of luck, you'll be notified out of the blue that your “backup” is 6 weeks out of date; with a bit less luck, you'll have a failure 5.6 weeks into that period and only discover when you try to restore.

If I had the cash, or frankly the extra AC outlets to spare, a NAS is what I'd have built two years ago. But between all the synthesizers, DJ and video equipment, and everything else in this room it's not really an option. Leaving things running 24/7 is also going to cause problems around here, which is also a factor in why I elected to go this route instead of BackBlaze or a NAS that's constantly running.TACD posted:What's wrong with Time Machine? Due to some combination of factors Time Machine was a no-go for this full system archive. If I remember correctly, because of the nature of the ProRAID, it can't be striped into one large RAID volume - so we split it into two 18TB volumes for archival. Combined with the fact that Time Machine works on an exclusionary model ("exclude these items from backups") we determined it would be unfeasible to archive the whole system this way. BUT, now that I'm thinking about it again, perhaps I should treat the two 18TB volumes on the ProRAID this way: - Volume A is a Time Machine backup containing all the usual stuff: OS, applications, app settings, plus also permanent media like audio libraries, plugins, VFX libraries, etc. etc. - Volume B is an archive of everything that's not the above; new DAW and video editing sessions and the raw media associated therein, my music libraries (my DJ library is the thing that grows by a few gigs every week), finished video/audio projects, pictures etc. Into Volume B I can manually drag-and-drop stuff in Finder, but I'd definitely prefer a more elegant solution to synchronize new data while not having to overwrite hundreds of gigs of data that already exists there. As for a real backup, I guess I will look into BackBlaze finally. Thanks for all your help guys.

Counterpoint: all the cloud backup services that don’t cost an absolute bomb are poo poo. Backblaze will throw your whole backup in a freezer if it becomes even slightly unsynced and is a massive pain if you have a cap. CrashPlan goes so slow it gave me an estimate of 2 years to backup my files on a gigabit fiber line after running a week. The software for these things also tends to suck hard.

How do I turn off digital signatures in mail? My work emails are of the high-volume, low-security variety and I would rather not type my password to send each one (it doesn’t even do watch passwords, which would be fine).

I know this because I wasn’t paying attention when I was testing Big Sur on a dev machine at work and logged into my normal iCloud account without thinking about it. This both managed to both turn on the secure mail setting and also sync that preference to iCloud so my own Mac started trying to send secure mails  Probably something to keep an eye on when Big Sur actually releases.

Okay I'll bite. Why do you need a ~20 TB backup that is apparently shared amongst an entire household that must be local but also offline ~99% of the time!? Do you live in Oklahoma with a 256k upload speed but also on top of the Eiffel tower where power costs a dinosaur/kWh?

Really it's more of an archive, as I've come to realize. - It's not shared, but the internet connection is shared between me and two roommates. I am leaning more towards accepting backblaze though. - The AC situation in the apartment is janky and already strained considering the production/dj/entertainment gear I have in the room. To give you some idea, before I upgraded my window air conditioner I had to choose between running it or being able to use my computer to write music or edit video.

Bob Morales posted:WHY do I update virtualbox? Honest question coming from the world's cheapest man here. Is there a reason besides cost to use virtualbox over parallels? I tried VB and I swear it tried to violate me. It devoured my virtual machines and crapped out unuseable, unbootable wastes of hard drive space and won't even apologize. I am now subscribing to Parallels on the upgrade deal since I bought it way back in 2009ish and it even let me build a windows 95, 98, ME, and 2000 machines to try to play Red Alert before I learned that OpenRA was a thing and that I was completely wasting my time. (I actually got Parallels to run my printer/scanner, and old versions of Roxio Toast, blu-ray authoring and acrobat pro that are no longer supported in 64 bit so i have a sweet rear end Sierra virtual machine.) I think the frustration saved per hour far outpaced the whatever it was, $45/year subscription and I hate shelling out for anything.
