I don't use spotlight, but I can't see how it's that bad. It certainly wasn't great for me before, which is why I use Alfred.

just like last version if itunes, you can make it normal. Select "playlists" and it brings back the sidebar and select songs on the right and it looks like the same itunes as always.

how can I change my folders from that bright blue color though?

dan selzer, Friday, 17 October 2014 12:40 (ten years ago) link

i am amazed that anyone installs a new version of the OS on opening day tbh!

socki (s1ocki), Friday, 17 October 2014 13:21 (ten years ago) link

Never had any issues doing it. Why stop now?

Jeff, Friday, 17 October 2014 13:23 (ten years ago) link

I'm still 10.6.8 at work. I updated the last one at home and have hated it ever since.

I don't want to share with my family. I don't want to share with my friends. I don't want to upload anything to a cloud. I don't want buying things online to be any easier.

Give me back my color labels.

I've done this, but it involved fucking with the circuits a little.

I'll try to remember how I did that.

How do I get a Soirée folder?

You can't afford it, honey.

kinda feels windows-like? I like the old font better. and the battery icon.

do i need ios 8.1 for handoff? i haven't been seeing any of the features

diamonddave85​​ (diamonddave85), Friday, 17 October 2014 15:15 (ten years ago) link

No you need a specific kind of Bluetooth LTE, which I guess most macs don't have

stet, Friday, 17 October 2014 15:41 (ten years ago) link

i dont ever want to handoff sometimes when i update something my cpu starts getting texts and i just want to throw it in the river and start a new society

there's always a split second when i figure i should, followed immediately by the recognition that i should wait at least six months. and usually i don't even bother to install the new version after that length of time.

I dunno. (amateurist), Friday, 17 October 2014 16:06 (ten years ago) link

i still dont have whatever the last one was called because i was scared about the gmail thing

socki (s1ocki), Friday, 17 October 2014 16:09 (ten years ago) link

it's a shame they didn't use this image as the background for OS 10.10

i still don't use the "natural" scrolling direction thing

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 17 October 2014 16:38 (ten years ago) link

I'm used to it, I do whatever they tell me.

Spirit of Match Game '76 (silby), Friday, 17 October 2014 16:40 (ten years ago) link

I usually do it right away because I like shiny new things and usually don't have any major problems.

dan selzer, Friday, 17 October 2014 16:41 (ten years ago) link

ya i like it its good steve job is god prob

Anyway if the janky iPad lineup for this FY is any indication the tablet thing is kind of an evolutionary dead end, they are the phone but with a much bigger screen and that's looking kind of niche at this point. Like for ppl who are really into getting work done on a tablet, or doing some art stuff, or watching Netflix/porn in bed. I'm going to keep my iPad 2 going another year on iOS 6 and save my money for a steel Watch.

Spirit of Match Game '76 (silby), Friday, 17 October 2014 16:54 (ten years ago) link

tablets are good for kids, lots of professional situations, people who love devices, watching tv in bed, big one maybe we havent really seen yet is home computer replacement just have a tabby no lappy, but agree that huge phones are gonna eat into their market, also it was the fastest growing device category ever and people maybe just got too excited idk

lag∞n, Friday, 17 October 2014 16:58 (ten years ago) link

tablets are good for lectures/talks

I dunno. (amateurist), Friday, 17 October 2014 17:00 (ten years ago) link

that's disappointing

diamonddave85​​ (diamonddave85), Friday, 17 October 2014 17:23 (ten years ago) link

You're still using MacPorts? the cool kids have been using Homebrew for years man, hate to break it to you

Bah I was afraid of that. I'm still obstinate about how I want my UNIX stuff set-up.

Elvis Telecom, Friday, 17 October 2014 17:50 (ten years ago) link

I feel like the whole desktop/laptop/tablet/e-reader/phablet/phone thing needs some time to shake itself, like people just feel overwhelmed with new devices and types within those devices and aren't sure yet which ones they most need.

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Friday, 17 October 2014 18:07 (ten years ago) link

We have either an iPad or an iPad 2 (I'm actually not sure which it is) we still use mostly for my daughter -- got dropped but everything except the front camera work fine, and my wife got a first gen iPad mini for her studies -- has most of her textbooks etc. on there and she works on papers on it with a keyboard. I really can't fathom wanting a newer iPad for a long, long time if it didn't do something majorly new and impressive.

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Friday, 17 October 2014 18:12 (ten years ago) link

I have an iPad 3 and want a new one for the lightening connector, and for it to run iOS 8 better. 8 is not very smooth for me, would be nice to have a device that it was more responsive on.

But really there is no way I'm upgrading, especially after having just spent so much money on 2 iphone 6's. We'll wait till next year.

Jeff, Friday, 17 October 2014 18:16 (ten years ago) link

tablets are good for lying on my couch and playing games

socki (s1ocki), Friday, 17 October 2014 18:34 (ten years ago) link

and as a spotify/whatever player i plug into my stereo

socki (s1ocki), Friday, 17 October 2014 18:34 (ten years ago) link

but unlike phones... i have an ipad 2 and i have verrrry little desire to upgrade

socki (s1ocki), Friday, 17 October 2014 18:35 (ten years ago) link

gotta save up for that watch edition

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Friday, 17 October 2014 18:36 (ten years ago) link

yosemite's given me back 8gb I didn't know I'd lost. Caches I guess?

sktsh, Friday, 17 October 2014 18:44 (ten years ago) link

i'm actively avoiding any kind of smartphone--i think the lack of a phone in a portable device is a feature for me, not a lack. and i can imagine a tablet getting a lot of use.

I dunno. (amateurist), Friday, 17 October 2014 18:48 (ten years ago) link

have a 16GB iPad 2 and use it every day. really want to upgrade for better screen, RAM and more storage space but can't really justify the cost to myself, especially with the basic version still being 16GB wtf.

( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 17 October 2014 19:03 (ten years ago) link

Technically I think the lack of a phone in life is a bonus, but just not feasible.

Eric H., Friday, 17 October 2014 19:05 (ten years ago) link

well lack of a phone and lack of a smartphone are different things

I dunno. (amateurist), Friday, 17 October 2014 19:14 (ten years ago) link

is 16GB the RAM or storage space?

I dunno. (amateurist), Friday, 17 October 2014 19:14 (ten years ago) link

storage

Spirit of Match Game '76 (silby), Friday, 17 October 2014 19:15 (ten years ago) link

I really can't fathom wanting a newer iPad for a long, long time if it didn't do something majorly new and impressive.

Ditto -- I have an iPad 1 (you have a 2 if it has a camera) and haven't yet felt moved to upgrade -- not even sure what a tablet COULD do that would surpass it, but Apple does have a way of surprising, so who knows?

Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 17 October 2014 19:24 (ten years ago) link

Retina pretty boss for reading

I dunno I love my mini but maybe a 6+ would be almost as good? hate the idea of carrying something that big around though.

droit au butt (Euler), Friday, 17 October 2014 19:45 (ten years ago) link

I have an ipad air and rarely use it. it just never seems to be in the right position for comfortable use.

Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Friday, 17 October 2014 21:48 (ten years ago) link

what is bothering me abt spotlight is how it pops up in the middle of the screen. i used to use spotlight as a calculator, but now it obscures the numbers i am calculating off of. or i will be trying to cross-reference things i am searching for against something i have written in a document (like a long file name or something) and it obscures that when it pops up. and beyond practicality I just find it intrusive.

the late great, Friday, 17 October 2014 22:45 (ten years ago) link

it would not be a big deal if I could somehow grab it and drag it to a different part of the screen

the late great, Friday, 17 October 2014 22:50 (ten years ago) link

wow feeling yosemites flatness very chill
