Semi-Offical OS X Tiger Chat


Recommended Posts

Anyone knows if Tiger makes it possible to download stuff or play music with the lid of a powerbook/ibook closed?

You can do that now. I think for the powerbook you can do it by plugging in an external keyboard or monitor or something. For the iBook, there's a hack to do it. I do know it's possible, though.

Anyone else notice how much faster window resizing is? It's just disturbing how much they sped it up. Personally, I think that's probably the most noticeable improvement they've made.

is it only on core image supported cards only???! i am really excited about this.. :p

I dunno. I have a Powerbook 15" 1.33Ghz, and it was snappy as all hell resizing windows. Maybe they just sped it up on my system, in which case I'm not complaining :D

What apps are you resizing? Safari, Mail and Finder SEEM about the same to me.

Anyone else able to get any third party IM clients to connect? The only one that works for me (tried Adium and Proteus) is iChat

Same - altho, in the dock, activity monitor CPU usage JUMPS up, and the fans start wurring... :happy: :laugh:

Adium and Proteus are dead because they fudged up an element that Gaim needs to connect to the internet (and other reasons, but they can fix those).

I've also noticed a huge increase in resize and scrolling speeds, especially with brushed metal. Go Apple. :D

:ninja: I did get Tiger to work on an iBook. I followed a fellow members advice and first installed it on my firewire external drive. Then, bootted it up with the firewire drive and copied the .dmg file over to the firewire drive, mounted it, and installed it via the /System/Library/ OSInstall.mpkg way. it is running fine now, and I noticed a big increase in speed within the OS overall, but safari is a bit slower than usual, so i'll be typing my next message in firefox.

Ahh, what has worked for me is FIRE. It still runs in Tiger, so that's good.

.

Yeah, i think it was Safari that is a bit slow. I am typing at my normal speed and firefox is keeping out quite nicely. So far, so good ;)

Opps, almost forgot to say that I have an iBook G4, ;)

And it is running a little slower than panther was thats for sure, with Expose, being slow. and moving windows around stuttering. I think this preview of tiger was made for G5 users or 1ghz+ G4 ones with 512k cache!

Scratch my last reply. Since FIRE was running, it wasn't optimized for Tiger yet, so it slowed down my comoputer completely. It wasn't respondiing, so after force quiting it, everything is much much quicker. I would say it is on par with Panther, if not faster.

Who ran those tests? 10.4 basically only lost out on disk I/O, so I'm guessing whoever it is was running 10.4 off an iPod or some other external drive.

It does claim that the same HDD was used, however I'm sceptical. This person repartitioned just to run a benchmark?

Shrug... Just found it...

However, the code probably isn't that optimised at all, so, the results make sense to me.

Yep. What I meant was that if it can stand up to 10.3.4 in the other categories (it gained almost exactly the same score in most, and even spanked Panther in one or two of them), while only really lagging in disk activity, then I'm assuming that's because Tiger is living on an iPod. If that's the case, and we're still at DP stage, then Tiger will probably be seriously fast by 10.4 final.

Results are too fast to be an iPod, imo...

Maybe he partitioned his drive. Maybe he had 2 identical drives, who knows?

    • Supposedly it's fixed on Series consoles: https://support.forza.net/hc/e...e-Issues-in-Forza-Horizon-6 This game is so much better than FH5, and it's all because of the map. It's diverse, big, and so much to see and do. I've bought every single Forza Motorsport and Horizon game, and by far my least played is FH5 at 100 hours, followed by the latest Motorsport. They've finally made a good one with FH6
    • Sorry to be that guy but, Given Trump won again even after a failed first term it would appear attacking the other side is how to gain Government in America. Voters when it came down to it didn't give a s**t about those Democratic achievements and voted for Trump over an intelligent, qualified mixed race woman. We need to face up to this uncomfortable reality. There are more Americacan voters who support racism and christian bigotry along with defending and supporting pedophilia, adjudicated rapists, multiple time convicted felons etc than those who don't. Btw, that is how the world sees America now. Not that Trump voters care as they attempt to cocoon themselves in a white supremacy bubble.
    • That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.
