This spinup takes a minute and locks up Finder and some other things while doing it, so you can imagine how annoying it is. Use what works for you, but I'm pretty sure no one else has that issue.

brc64 posted:One of you was joking about hoping that my wife doesn't ask for a Thunderbolt Cinema Display, but just for kicks I looked online at them. Is that 27 inch beast the only size display they sell anymore!? Correct. After messing with a 27" iMac I love the display on it so much I am considering getting a 27" ACD for my MacBook Pro.

Is it not possible to connect the new ACD to my older gen MacBook Pro? I have a unibody with Mini-DisplayPort, but even though the Thunderbolt cable on the new ACD uses a Mini-DisplayPort styled connector, it won't work without me having an actual Thunderbolt port? Do I have that right?

That clears it up, thanks. I did not realize the ACD was still available, and I assumed the Thunderbolt Display was the only display available. Didn't make sense that the current selling display wouldn't work with the current Mac Pro.

For heat management, is is better to run my 27" Cinema Display from my MacBook Pro's dedicated or 'onboard' GPU? The fans are kicking full blast almost every minute I have it connected and I think that can't be good.

Hermi On Me posted:I never understand people who buy a Mac just to out windows on it. Surely there are great windows laptops at half the price. Apple doesn't even put put that great drivers to get the best out of their hardware in windows. I have a client that's a law firm that buys MacBook Pros and iMacs for the partners, while the subordinates get cheap lovely PCs. And yet, they just put Windows (XP!) on the Macs. We tried getting them to use OS X, starting with the senior partner, but it was a non-starter due to exactly one retarded thing. Somehow, a long time ago, they got it in their heads that the way to open a file, any file, on their computers was via Microsoft Word. It goes like this: -Start the day, open Word. -File -> Open -> Change file type to "All" -Browse network shares to find the file you're looking for, say a PDF. -Right click, on that file, hit "Open" from the contextual menu. It opens in Acrobat. -See! I open all my files in Word!  Repeated explanations as to the illogic of this were completely fruitless. This is the way they've done it for years and nothing is going to change them. And the senior partner couldn't make this workflow happen in OS X, so it was wiped and replaced with XP.

Get a Square reader and the Square Register iPad app. You can list items and basically make the iPad into a POS device. It's pretty boss.

Upgraded to a fully maxed out 16GB/768GB SSD 15" Retina MBP this weekend, coming from a 2009 unibody MBP. Holy hell it is so fast it feels fake. Like I don't actually believe that's my data on there. And I've been continually astonished at how fast stuff from Homebrew is building. I feel like a jerk for not going SSD earlier. I'm using the highest resolution setting available because I love tiny text and want as much space as possible. What's the actual resolution in numbers for that? gregday fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Mar 4, 2013 |

I'm feeling like it's time to replace my 27" Cinema Display (not even Thunderbolt) with the Pro Display XDR. I absolutely do not need a reference-monitor-quality display, and it would be a tremendous waste of money for me, but dammit I still want it. I can live with the lack of a camera on it, but I hate to lose the speakers built into my 27" Cinema. I haven't had discrete computer speakers in uh... a very long time. What's everyone recommend that's on the medium-high end? It'd be great if they were entirely USB-C, but I so far haven't found such a thing.

Panzarino saying the new TouchID keyboard doesn’t work with non M1 Macs. I wonder if it’s because the keyboard has its own Secure Enclave for fingerprint derived data and they need something in the M1 to establish a secure chain of custody. EDit: rather, it works, just without the Touch ID feature. gregday fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Apr 21, 2021 |

Considering the MagSafe isn’t really a new adapter but more a USB-C cable with MagSafe on one end, anyone know if these machines can still charge with the TB ports?

Why has Migration Assistant, which is using the TB cable that came with my Pro Display XDR and logged a transfer rate of 1555MB/s at one point, now slowed to 6.1MB/s when going from my 2018 15” MBP to a new 16” M1 Max MBP?

After claiming ~8 hours for Migration Assistant to finish, it suddenly wrapped up after a total running time of around 5 hours. I did have a lot of git repos and homebrew stuff, as well as about 90GB music and 150GB video. I am probably just scarred by things like this never working in the bad old days, but I am beyond impressed with Migration Assistant. Not just accounts, apps, docs, and settings all moved, but also all the fiddly Unix poo poo I’ve tweaked over the years. Major hats off to the team at Apple that seriously cares about making upgrading smooth.
