Friggin' awesome feature in Mail: QuickLook a link.

Nice ! I like how they’re actually making something useful with this feature.

I mean personally I was using it a lot before, but it’s good to know that they’re generalizing it to the whole system.

The contacts application from Snow Leopard looks very archaic to say the least, but the new one doesn’t seem to be very usable for me. Can you confirm that?

And what do you say about the stability of this alpha product, compared to the stability of final Snow Leopard 10.6.7 ?

Can you dual boot this OS with 10.6.7 easily ?

Seems just as usable to me. Takes one more click to get to your groups, but otherwise, it has just the same functionality.

And what do you say about the stability of this alpha product, compared to the stability of final Snow Leopard 10.6.7 ?

I haven't had the system crash on me yet (seems very fast and stable), but there are apps that don't seem to like it. Twitter for Mac works, but inertial scrolling isn't working in it. Radium (internet radio app) launches, but doesn't work at all.

Can you dual boot this OS with 10.6.7 easily ?

That's what I'm doing right now.

Elliott could you please check if Quicktime has been updated? The latest version on SL is 7.6.6 but i would like to know if they have done updates to quicktime engine for Lion. I ask this because of AAC encoding; and if rumors of 24 bit audio through iTunes are true, Apple may just embrace HD-AAC technology soon in their quicktime engine just for Lion or iTunes 11.

Anyway thank you for the informations you're giving us. Do you have it installed on another HD or on a second partition?

they don't usually release new versions of iTunes with OSX

I can't say for sure if there's anything different with how QuickTime X is handling AAC audio. The version was bumped to 10.1, but that's not saying much.

I have it installed on an external HD.

No I think he wants the version for QuickTime and not QuickTime X

But if you're like me than it's probably not installed :p

Yep. :p

I can't recall if QuickTime 7 was even an installation option in Lion.

Edit: It's not in the Dev Preview installer, at least, which would lead me to believe that it's still 7.6.6 or whatever.

Yes i meant Quicktime, not Quicktime X lol well it's not there, neither in Snow Leopard is if you do not select it but Quicktime engine is there. To see that, you have to do an audio conversion with XLD and see the reported info on itunes. But obviously I'd never ask you to do that, so nevermind :D

In case you guys were wondering, this is how you get an app out of full screen (shows up in the menu bar, which shows up when your cursor is at the top of the screen): post-17580-0-53705300-1298573757.png

Edit: Also, just noticed this in the All My Files section in Finder (note the Cover Flow): post-17580-0-97325700-1298573857.png

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
