macOS 15 Sequoia is now available

Apple today 16,Sep,2024 pushed the macOS 15 update (build number: 24A335) to Mac computer users. macOS Sequoia brings exciting new features, including iPhone Mirroring, which expands Continuity by enabling access to and control of iPhone directly from macOS; big updates to Safari; a new Passwords app; and more. Starting next month, macOS Sequoia will introduce Apple Intelligence,1 the personal intelligence system that combines the power of generative models with personal context to deliver intelligence that is incredibly useful and relevant while protecting users’ privacy and security.

Here’s a look at the top features Mac users can experience when they update to macOS Sequoia.

iPhone Mirroring

The iPhone mirroring feature allows users to view and control their iPhone directly on their Mac. The entire iPhone screen will be mirrored to the Mac, including all icons, home screens, apps, etc. Users can open any iPhone app directly on the Mac, and the iPhone's sound will also be played through the Mac. It is worth mentioning that during the mirroring process, the iPhone can remain locked to ensure the user's privacy.

macOS 15 Sequoia also introduces the ability to display iPhone notifications on the Mac, where they are displayed side by side with the Mac's own notifications. Users can also easily transfer files between Mac and iPhone by dragging and dropping directly on the Mac.

Additionally, macOS now automatically resizes app windows to tile them and fill the screen, making the most of the maximum screen real estate.

macOS 15 also includes a new standalone Passwords app that allows users to manage Wi-Fi passwords, app and website passwords, verification codes, and more. Passwords are synced between devices, and macOS uses AutoFill to fill passwords in the Passwords app. The Passwords app is also available on Windows, thanks to the iCloud for Windows app.

Safari is also getting smarter, using artificial intelligence to automatically highlight useful information on web pages, such as map directions or video content.

And Office For Mac 2019 does no longer support the macOS 15 Sequoia, so if you update to the Sequoia, your Office 2019 will be not working, for now, only Office 2021 for Mac compatible with the Sequoia, and you can get the Office 2021 for Mac at Keyingo.com

WWDC 2023 Highlights: iOS 17, 15-inch MacBook Air, Apple Vision Pro and more announced

“Vision Pro would potentially make for an awesome workout experience. Like, imagine doing a zombie run on that thing. Not likely for now, given the materials, etc, but would be really cool to get a sports edition” says a Twitter user. But before the end, here is a quick recap… Tim Cook promised a historic day and it truly was one. We saw a huge number of hardware and software announcements. On…

Reasons to Get Your Hands on 4K Video Downloader

It has a free version. The free version lets you download 30 videos a day but that's better than nothing. And 30 videos a day actually goes a pretty gosh darn long way. Now if you were to exceed the 30 video limit mark then you can just use something like 9convert. I like it a lot.

It's cheap af to get a license. It's only $15 for 3 licenses if you'd rather have an unlimited number of downloads. You also get a reasonable discount when there's been an update and you'll even get a reasonable discount if or when you decide to upgrade!

You can download playlists. Need to download an entire playlist of video game playthroughs, trailers, music videos, tv shows, or whatever the case may be on YouTube?? Well, let's just say that 4K Video Downloader does this. I do it on the regular.

It's cross-platform. It works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. There's even an Android app for 4K Video Downloader.

It downloads from other sites besides YouTube. It legit straights up says on the website: Download videos from all popular websites including YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, SoundCloud, Facebook, Twitch, Bilibili and more in high-quality.

The videos can download in hella high quality. If the video you're wanting to download has an option to watch it in 1080p then you can download it in 1080p. The same is equally true with the various other options to choose from.

[NEWS] Extended demo released! Download & Play now!

Hello! Today's update is super exciting because as the title says...

The extended demo of MY DEAR☆LOVE has been released!!! (Windows only)

After two long weeks of hard work (and many cups of coffee), we are happy to finally share what we have been working on!

We apologize for the delay. The development of this extended demo had taken longer than expected due to us working more hours for our day jobs, but it was our goal to release it this weekend, and we are glad that we were able to achieve it despite the setbacks.

Extended Demo features:

Estimated 1 hour play time. The full version, MY DEAR☆LOVE PLUS+, has an estimated play time of 8-15 hours.

Meet the male love interest Atsuya and side character Hayato Arihara.

Stat-raising simulation mode is now playable! It can be accessed from the title screen.

Cooking mini game is now playable! You can make curry in the story mode, or make omurice in the mini game mode (accessible from the title screen).

Visual novel mode that extends to the end of the prologue.

1 full colour CG featuring the male love interest Atsuya.

Save/load feature and general settings menu with a toggle for Main Character portrait.

Keyboard input is available; please refer to the "Read Me" text file included in the demo file.

Japanese or English language option available in settings from the title screen only.

We apologize there is a bug in the cooking mini game: In the part where you cut the ingredients, the knife will not be aligned with your cursor in fullscreen mode. To avoid this, at the tutorial screen, switch to window mode by pressing the F key or F4 key on your keyboard. We are working on resolving this and will provide a fix as soon as possible.

*The game is in development. The demo does not represent the final game. CG gallery is not available in this demo. Please email us at [email protected] if you encounter any errors when playing the demo.

Due to time constraints, we have had to prioritize certain functions and omit other aspects. However, we plan to release a version 2.2 update that will further enhance the player experience and provide fixes.

Plans for the version 2.2 update:

Enhanced functions of the stat-raising simulation mode

More character sprite expression

More "cut-ins" which are in-game visuals that complement text

Enhanced graphics and staging effects, camerawork, etc.

Fixes to the GUI and other minor fixes

With the release of this extended demo, the mini demo will be removed from our game page on itch.io. Thank you to everyone who gave it a try! This week we will be progressively updating our Kickstarter campaign with new screenshots, Epilogue DLC story reveal, samples of the digital artbook, a teaser video, and possibly a teaser of our next game (a double-protagonist dating sim with optional GxG/BxB content!).

MY DEAR☆LOVE is set to release as a free game in early 2025. Our Kickstarter campaign, at a funding goal of $6,500 CAD (approximately $4,720 USD), is to fund the development of an extended version that will feature more upgrades, including new gameplay, more mini games, more CGs and story endings. We are dedicated to making this game a reality, and if we could have your support, we believe we can deliver it at its full creative potential and provide a even more enjoyable player experience. If we manage to reach the corresponding stretch goal of $11,000 CAD (approximately $7,987 USD), a MacOS port will be developed.

In closing, we would like to take a moment to show our appreciation for the support we have received. H9O6 is a small indie studio consisting of two creative minds (and a cat!) with big dreams. We hope this extended demo will show you our dedication to game-making and other creative pursuits. Your support means the world to us and motivates us to strive for the best we can.

Thank you for reading and enjoy the new extended demo! ❤

"They Don't Teach Kids About Computers These Days!"

I see variations on this a LOT these days. Sometimes it's people in their teens/early 20s being frustrated at how they're expected to know everything about computers, sometimes it's college professors straight up HORRIFIED when they realize they have students who don't have any understanding that their hard drive, a school's internal network, and on a public website are completely distinct places for a file to be located, and I kinda figure the weird stress a lot of people seem to have about the concept of getting a game and not having it just go into their Steam library specifically is a related issue.

Now on the one hand, obviously, I sympathize with this. I have a series of posts on this blog called How A Computer Works, because... I want to teach people about this stuff. (That's still ongoing by the way, I've just got a lot else going on and need to settle on the scope of the next lesson.) On the other hand, uh... I'm from the generation before the one that apparently has all the computer literacy problems, and nobody taught us this stuff in school... and the next generation up wouldn't possibly have had access. So was anyone taught how to use them?

Now I say "they didn't teach my generation how to use computers in school" but that isn't technically true. I see a lot of people call people my age "the Oregon Trail generation" when this topic comes up. Sort of on the edge of Gen X and Millennials, going through school in that window where Apple had really really pushed the Apple ][ on schools with big discounts. And they did have "computer classes" to learn how to do some things on those, but... that isn't really a transferable or relevant skill set.

Like, yeah, if you're below the age of let's say 30 or so as of when I'm writing this, the idea of what "a computer" is has been pretty stable for your whole life. You've got some sort of tower case, a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, and in that tower there's a bunch of RAM, a processor, video and sound cards of some sort, and a big ol' hard drive, and it's running Windows, MacOS, or some flavor of Unix going for the same basic look and functionality of those. It's generally assumed (more than it should be, some of us our poor) that a given person is going to have one in their home, any school is going to have a whole room full of them, libraries will have some too, and they are generally a part of your life. We can probably make the same sort of general assumption about IPhone/Android cellphones for the past what, 15 years or so too, while we're at it. They're ubiquitous enough that, especially in academic circles where they're kind of required professionally, people are going to assume you know them inside and out.

Prior to the mid-90s though? It was kind of a lawless frontier. Let's say you have a real young cool teacher who got way into computers at like 5 years old, and now they're 25 and they're your computer class teacher in the mid-90s. The computer they got way into as a kid? It would have been this.

That's not a component of it, that's the whole thing. A bank of switches for directly inputting binary values into memory addresses and some more switches for opcodes basically, and then some LEDs as your only output. Nothing about this is other than the benefits of fundamentally understanding some low level stuff is going to be useful at all in any sort of practical sense if you sit down a decade later with one of these.

This at least looks a bit more like a computer you'd see today, but to be clear, this has no mouse, no way to connect to the internet, which wasn't really a thing yet to begin with, and no hard drive, even. You did not install things on an Apple ][. You had every program on a big ol' floppy disk (the sort that were just a circle of magnetic film in a thick paper envelope basically and were, in fact, floppy), you would shove that in the disk drive before turning the machine on, it'd make a horrible stuttering knocking sound resetting the drive head, and just read whatever was on that right into memory and jump right on in to running Oregon Trail or a non-wysiwyg text editor (i.e. there's no making bold text appear on screen, you'd just have a big ugly tag on either side of your [BOLD>bold text<BOLD] like that). It was not unlike popping a cartridge or disc into an older video game console, except for the bit where if you wanted to save something you'd have to take the disk out while it was running and pop a blank one into the drive to save to.

So when I was a kid and I'd have my "computer class" it'd be walking into a room, sitting down with one of these, and having a teacher just as new to it as I was just reading out a list of instructions off a sheet like, "flip open the lock on the disk drive, take the disk out of the sleeve, make sure it says Logo Writer on it, slide it in with the label up and facing you, flip the lock back down, hit the power switch in the back of the machine..." We didn't learn anything about file management beyond "don't touch anything until the screen says it's done saving to the disk" because again, no hard drives. I guess there was a typing class? That's something, but really there's nothing to learn about typing that isn't where every key is and you only (but inevitably) learn that through practice.

Now, overlapping with this, I eventually got myself a used computer in the early 90s, very old at the time, but not as old as the ones at school. I had a proper black and white OG Mac. With a hard drive and a window-based operating system and everything. And... nobody taught me a damn thing about how that one worked. My mother just straight up did not touch a computer until something like 2001. I didn't really have any techie mentors. I just plugged it in and messed around and worked everything out. Same way I worked out what I was doing with older computers, mostly on my own at the local library, because that computer class wasn't much, and how I was totally left on my own to work out how to hook up every console I ever owned, which was slightly more involved at the time.

That forky bit in the middle was held in place with a pair of phillips headscrews. Had to keep the VCR and cable box in the right daisy chain order too.

Enough rambling about how old I am though. What's the actual disconnect here? How did my generation work out everything about computers without help but the next one down allegedly goes dear in the headlights if someone asks them to send them a file?

Well first off I'm not at all willing to believe this isn't at least largely a sampling bias issue. Teachers see all the clueless kids, people asking online for help with things is more common than people spontaneously mentioning how everything is second-nature to them, etc. Two things stick out to me though as potential sources of the issue though:

First, holy crap are modern computers ever frail, sickly little things! I'm not even talking about unreliable hardware, but yeah, there's some shoddy builds out there. I mean there's so many software dependencies and auto-updating system files and stuff that looks for specific files in one and only one location, just crashing if they aren't there. Right now on this Windows 10 machine I've got this little outdoor temperature tracker down in the task bar which will frequently start rapidly fluttering between normal and a 50% offset every frame, and the whole bar becomes unresponsive, until I open the task manager (don't even have to do anything, just open it). No clue what's up with that. It was some system update. It also tries to serve me ads. Don't know if it's load-bearing. Roughly every other day I have to force-quit Steam webhelper. Not really sure what that's even for. Loading user reviews? Part of me wants to dig in and yank out all this buggy bloatware, but I genuinely don't know what files are loadbearing. This wasn't an issue on older computers. Again, screwing around with an old Apple ][, and old consoles and such, there wasn't anything I could really break experimenting around. It was all firmware ROM chips, RAM that cleared on power cycling, and disks which were mostly copy-protected or contained my own stuff. No way to cause any problem not fixed by power cycling.

Next, everything runs pretty smoothly and seemlessly these days (when working properly anyway). Files autosave every few seconds, never asking you where you actually want to save them to, things quietly connect to the internet in the background, accessing servers, harvesting your info. Resolutions change on their own. Hell emulators of older systems load themselves up when needed without asking. There's a bunch of stuff that used to be really involved that's basically invisible today. The joke about this being "a 3D print of the save icon" already doesn't work because how often do you even see a UI element for saving? When we still used disks regularly, they held next to nothing and would take like half a minute to read and write.

And don't even get me started on launchers and start menus and all that.

So... basically what I'm getting at here is if you feel like you never learned how to properly use a computer, go get your hands on an old computer and mess around. There's yard sales, there's nice safe runs in a browser emulators, hell there's kits to build your own. That or just look for someone wearing like a Mega Man T-shirt or playing a Madonna CD (hell maybe just any CD these days) and start politely asking questions, because again just because everyone who knows this stuff just had to work it out on our own doesn't mean you should have to.

#computers #education #technology used to move fast #yes i used to have a tv like that and it took two people to move if you ever needed to get back behind it or you'd just climb over the top

(Tumblr Post from July 15, 2024)

Affinity suite is 50% off in sale until August 15, 2024 and has extended free trial to be 6 months (previously 1 month).

Free trial includes Affinity Designer 2, Affinity Photo 2, and Affinity Publisher 2.

The "all software license" bundle (including iPad versions) can be purchased for $82.99usd on sale.

During the sale the PC/Mac apps individually cost $34.99, and iPad apps individually cost $9.29 (Affinity Pricing Page)

Each main version of Affinity software is so far just a 1-time purchase. Affinity suite is a competitor of Adobe suite, and was acquired by Canva.

Compatible with MacOS, Windows, and IpadOS. (Though some have Affinity apps working Unofficially on GNU/Linux using "Wine" and "Bottles").

For context:

The sale and extended free trial for Affinity 2 Suite is happening at same time of Adobe's recent controversies. So this is likely taking advantage of the influx of former Adobe Suite users quitting Adobe products.

Adobe controversies include: (1) exorbitant hidden subscription cancellation fees, and difficulty in cancelling. (2) previous Terms of Service scrutinized for implying Adobe planned to collect and sell Adobe cloud suite users’ files and user data; as well as use their users' content (including NDA content) for image generation training with no opt-out option, creating further legal scrutiny.

The U.S. government and different organizations are suing Adobe for anti-consumer practices.

Hills to die on

If it's a JPEG or PNG it's not HDR. It's just tone mapping.

JPEG needs taking out back and euthanising. There are better formats and have been for like 15 years.

In any situation where there is a clearly better option, someone will contrive a way to fuck the situation up so massively that everyone will just keep using the shitty scenario. That someone is usually Sony.

GIMP and people who promote GIMP to unsuspecting would-be artists has done more to harm digital art than the cost of buying all the hardware.

Discord sucks ass. It won't ever not suck.

It doesn't matter what Android can do or how customisable it is, if you e.g. get a Samsung it's going to be so larded down with crap and cruft that any benefits over iOS will be lost.

Windows is not better than MacOS.

MacOS is not better than Windows.

Both are better than any Linux install that isn't running on a tablet.

For drawing, sketching, painting and generally enjoying things, an iPad with a ludicrously overpriced stylus is way better than a full PC with a Wacom...

... and the tablet's a better way to enjoy media.

Customer service agents are not paid enough

Customer service agents should be allowed to say "Jesus fucking Christ I asked what the problem is, not 'Tell me about your day' Shut. The. Fuck . Up. Now what is the problem. 6 words or less, or I'm hanging up and blocking your number".

CSATs and NPS are astrology anti-vax conspiracy theories for middle management. They're deeply flawed, harmful to everyone involved, a huge pain in the ass, and nobody wants to deal with them... apart from some middle manager who firmly believes they can boil down a human being and their entire job to two numbers every month.

Billionaires and politicians should be tried every year and if found guilty of being utter shits, be wired up for life support and encased in amber, and displayed to the public along with a list of the bad shit they've done. I firmly believe that these dinguses will see their comerades frozen mid scream in a big block of resin, while a machine keeps them alive in permanent hellish torture and still do the stupid things they do.

Nobody likes soft mozarella as much as block mozarella.

UBI and free cheese would probably solve almost all problems.

Nestlé are now so evil they're just doing it to see how far they can push things before anyone actually does something other than tut-tutting.

Most politicians should be guillotined.
