huh? how can anyone not like macheist? did i miss something? i mean... this time alone its apps worth 250 bucks for 20... and theres charity involved.

what confusing scheme are you talking about, james?

im just asking, no offense here. its just that i always loved macheist bundles and for the ones i bought i always got legit serial numbers and full programs. at least i think so. ;)

If you google around there are people that have a lot of problems with commission that the software developers get, what goes to charity and how much more MacHeist still makes for profit. That's one reason why I have a good portion of friends that don't buy from their bundles.

For what it's worth, if the charity was the one reason you went with it, you can just donate on your own.. Don't need to buy something just because they're donating. Do it directly instead. Works out a bit better really :)

It's pretty obvious what apps will be in the bundle, look at the little logos on the boxes. Flow is there.

Flow was pretty cool until development seemingly died. I'm still waiting for a Transmit 4 release that will be up to Leopard/Snow Leopard standards.

It's not the *real* MacHeist 4 bundle for sure... Guess it's an appetizer for an upcoming bundle :)

Anyways, I went ahead and bought it. Flow seems cool for ftp and if RapidWeaver gets unlocked, that would also be nice. Bummer though I already bought Tales of MI last year...

Ah, that makes more sense then. Thanks!

I'm considering buying this, as I'd planned to buy RipIt anyway. I was also intending to get Transmit, but this Flow program seems pretty interesting. I really like the idea of these 'Droplets'. Does anybody know how it compares to Transmit? Is the text editor a viable replacement, or alternative, to Textwrangler?

Apart from these two apps, the rest would be chaff to me. When you download this bundle, does anybody know if it's one giant app that is installed, or are they individual (i.e. can you delete, or not even install, the stuff that you don't need/want)?

I bought it for Monkey Island. :laugh: RipIt's a nice piece of software though, and Clips is pretty cool. CoverScout might come in handy. The only three I have absolutely no use for are MacJournal, RapidWeaver, and Flow (because I'm a diehard Transmit fan, and Transmit 4 is going to blow our socks off).

Still, very much worth the $20, or $17.95, apparently, if you've been a Heister.

*Ahem* reviving a dead thread is a bad thing I know, but since this really is Macheist 4, can we make an exception?

Macheist has started up again with a new heist. We are about 1 or 2 days probably before the 'games' begin but if you have an iPhone or iTouch, you can manipulate things on the screen already. (I don't have either so am out of luck).

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
