To the person who decided that in #macOS Preview the keycombo ⌘⌫ should DELETE THE ENTIRE GODDAMN DOCUMENT:

I fucking hope you didn't get a raise for that PoS idea.

Srsly, every single time I try to rename a document, w/ the text field focussed…

Existe-t-il une solution pour que les sauvegardes #TimeMachine de #macOS soient :
- programmées à un horaire précis (genre 4h du matin)
- limitées en bande passante

Overrode NSTableHeaderView and NSTableHeaderCell yesterday to get an Aqua appearance by custom drawing them myself in their respective draw functions... but refined it a lot more today!

(I removed most of the UI to call out the table view headers a bit more in this video)

Maaaaaan, AppKit is so fucking fun to use and make shit with.

haha so.

i've got this wonderful mac pro 6,1 trash can. it's everything I want in a desktop machine except for one thing: every week or two, it freezes and hard crashes with an error about WindowServer no longer checking in.

the overwhelming response from the apple community for the past 5+ years is that it's a case of a failing trash can GPU. that never made any sense to me, as the machine never crashes under load of any kind.

one person said that once they turned off sleep, the machine was rock solid for months. i confirmed this. it was a sleep issue of some kind.

so on a hunch, I checked the firmware version: it was nearly 8 years old. that seemed impossible to me because I had recently upgraded to Monterey, and macOS auto-upgrades old firmware with each update.

i remembered that I had installed a samsung ssd to replace the ancient apple ssd the machine shipped with. could that have anything to do with it?

i had apparently forgotten that at boot, macOS updates check to see if you're using an *apple ssd*. if you aren't, it *does not* upgrade the firmware and silently continues with the install. i'm not sure if this applies to other machines, but it is certainly true of the mac pro 6,1.

if you're running a mac with an upgraded non-apple SSD, check your firmware. there's a chance that yours is running a very old firmware.

the upshot: i stuck in an old original *apple* ssd, ran the Monterey installer, and it silently upgraded the firmware. i'm now running fw 481.0.0.0.0 and the system is rock solid. no more random crashes.

to clarify: firmware 430.120.6.0.0 included with macos 12.4 solves the sleep kernel panics

Okay Mac aficionados. I'm trying to replicate Windows functionality that's crucial to my workflow (and sanity) when I'm on my Mac. I don't know what it's called but not knowing how to snap and then dynamically resize two windows is driving me crazy.
