Don't have my copy of Tiger yet, so if someone could try something for me it would be great. Open Dashboard, click and hold on a widget, then close dashboard. It should pull the widget to the desktop, and then when you open dashboard again, it'll go back.

But alas, it will only do one at a time, as whenever you go to the dashboard to select another, the previous goes back. I'm hoping this is a broken feature(where more than one can work) instead of a "bug" (widgets shouldn't do that at all)

I've heard when people first install Tiger it goes very slow because Spotlight has to index your HDD, about how long does it take you? I know it depends on how many files you have and such but does it index quickly?

That Kitten and Radish don't seem to have a problem with this "help" we should be able to do it because its 2-1  :p

Radish and I had been actively deleting support threads well before the sticky was put up.

As soon as Apple starts supporting Tiger, we will too.

As was pointed out to me via pm (thank you for the pm, btw), one Tiger thread is ugly. If you want to have a general discussion of Tiger, put it in here. If it's something in particular (ie, which apps are broken), then feel free to create a separate thread. We'll keep this one stickied.

i did find the processor usage of dashboards to be around 50-60% cpu with 5 widgets on a 1.42ghz G4. i ran a movie in the background at 1/2 the screeen size and viewed dashboard and it put the quick time to a hualt- became very very stuttery. i dont know why but dashboard seems to run very laggy compared to konfabulator. :/

Why? People have gotten their legal copies already, don't see why we should wait any longer. Most of us aren't really that dependant on what Apple does in order for us to do it.

The Dashboard trick doesn't work btw, maybe it was just a one time fluke.

Yeah but you can only place one on the desktop because they'll disappear when opening Dashboard again. I think they're way too big to be on the desktop, not to mention the CPU usage! And some of them (like the Weather) don't really work 100%.

So longhorn isnt out till end of 2006, but there are trillions of posts about people installing it and problems etc.

But tiger, which is now as good as out...

</rant>

I installed Tiger on a G3 iMac (350mhz 256MB) and it was so much faster. I would have thought they'd given up optomising for such an old system.

Just thought I would mention something about the RSS feed screensaver I mentioned a page back, if you open safari and add this feed://www.neowin.net/backend.php?page=main to your bookmarks under Other it will show up in the RSS Feed Screen saver and you can now view Neowin.net news :)

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
