Mac OS X Lion Discussion


Recommended Posts

Oh, that's great. Now, will Time Machine and Versions coexist together? Doesn't Versions 'do more' than Time Machine? (new to Mac)

My guess is that Versions won't keep files that have been deleted. It also doesn't do full system backups.

They'll co-exist

Versions is a bit like shadow copy or whatever from WIndows BUT it does a bit more. On supported applications it will save the file without the user saving

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

What does that button next to the view modes do?

That's the sorter (so you can get that view that you see in All My Files in whatever folder you want). Kind of cool that you can even sort by which application will open it.

Just installed a fresh version of Snow Leopard on a new partition; updating it to 10.6.6, then getting the Lion dev preview from the app store. Amazing how much time and data this takes, Rogers is gonna kill me...

:laugh: I thought it was pretty cool that it comes through the App Store though.

No, they'll just charge you to death

Yeah, although I'm not sure I will like it if that's how they publish the update - will fresh installs of Lion be possible?

Updates should come down through Software Update. I would imagine DVDs for fresh installs will be available for the final product, but Apple is definitely trying to leave optical media behind.

*sigh*

Yeah, I wanted to install a copy here. If it comes through the App Store I believe it will be impossible to get, and if I have to waste like 2 hours to install Snow Leopard + updates before, it’s a let down for the moment.

It will probably be more like Leopard $129 than Snow Leopard.

This. Lion is a true update with major new features, not just a bunch of optimizations with some perfections or the so-called "refinements".

People already cracked FaceTime in a matter of hours, I'm guessing the same will happen eventually with Mac OS X Lion.

i hope its still $29 to uograde

Doubtful. However I don't think they're going back to €129 either.

Looking very nice. I can't say I'm a fan of the inverted toolbar buttons (depressed if not selected), but everything else looks good.

I think they're going to for that slider look you see in Time Machine preferences as well (among other places).

I imagine the button in the Finder toolbar slides around when selecting a different view mode.

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
