and download it without being developer? :woot:

It's leaked to torrent sites already;  I doubt it would be any more restricted than Yosemite (or earlier developer previews) were - in other words, no restrictions at all.

 

The first Public Beta won't be until July - to put it bluntly, why do folks think Apple OS users (both Hacks and Macs alike) are any more patient than Windows users?

Can anyone try opening https://d3oaxc4q5k2d6q.cloudfront.net/ in Chrome on El Capitan? Should redirect to Bitbucket, but I get security errors in Chrome. Works fine in Safari/Firefox and on Yosemite.

Works for me in Chrome 45 dev on OS X 10.11.

I am so excited for Split View. I know it seems simple, but ever since the Windows 7 days, it is just so convenient to easily move to windows side by side and now it has finally made it into OS X. I haven't missed much from my Windows days, but that was definitely one thing.

 

Also, really like the new Disk Utility!

 

 

Hyperdock provides this.. although no use for it with 10.11

Well, this sucks:

Tell Minecraft to support the latest Java versions!!

 

edit: workaround is to install Java 8 from oracle website, download Minecraft.jar from "https://minecraft.net/download" then run in terminal "java -jar minecraft.jar"

 

Anyhow, I hope Metal improves the Retina MBP sluggishness sometimes with normal desktop apps.

Ok just installed on a 2007 iMac and it all seems ok, not fast but it wasn't before. Parallels works ok, again slow but it works. One big problem for me is Photoshop CS4 does not work as it needs Java SE 6. Netbeans and Android Dev Studio work fine.

BetterTouchTool can support it and it's free. I've even set up the WinKey/CMD + Arrow keys to move the windows round as I would expect from Windows 7+.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
