Well am I the only one who doesn't feel too excited over Tiger? I mean when Jaguar came out I remember (builds being leaked) and it just being the coolest thing ever coming out. Same thing with Panther. And now its Tiger, (not much leaks tho thats just a minor thing) basically we'll be seeing Panther, with a search box and a dashboard of things most of us will never use?

Tiger is a much bigger update than Jag or Panther.

Spotlight is not just a search box, it can be updated by developers with plugins and incorperated into applications. It also allows Smartfolders in the filesystem.

Dashboard will only get better over time. Once Tiger is released we'll start to see all kinds of widgets come out. Some useful, some not.

Automator will allow anyone to use AppleScript which is fantastic, and again is something that developers can add more functionality to with plug-ins.

There's also a new kernel that has been further optomized, improved Open GL, CoreImage, Quartx 2D Extreme, etc. We'll also get a faster version of Safari. There's also tons of little improvments like a built in PDF viewer in Safari, burnable folders in The Finder, PDF bookmarking in Preview, an updated Quicktime.

The coolest thing about Tiger is seeing what good developers can do with what Apple has provided.

Agreed 100%. I think Tiger is massive. Panther was so-so for me at best. Most of the additions were underneath. Tiger has huge additions on top and under.

Jaguar was easily the largest to date, but I think Tiger will be right up there.

I don't so a lot of gaming on OS X, but Tiger is supposed to considerably increase framerates over Panther

      You can use MCT to create an updated ISO and then use Rufus to create the bootable USB.

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
