iOS 13 and Hotspot

I must say I’m liking iOS 13. One improvement is connecting my iPad to Hotspot on my iPhone. It connects much more quickly and more reliably, often times. I’ve posted in the past about issues with this. Looks like it was the behaviour of iOS 12 and not a network issue after all.

Google Chrome can seriously mess up your Mac

...not most users... but those who have disabled System Integrity Protection and work with a particular set of video editing software... still, this is one helluva bug!

UN Abusing A Phoney Child

Phoney as hell!

The UN's Greta Thunberg climate gamble offers up a child who's mastered the art of regurgitating political slogans

Quote:

At the age of 17, Malala Yousafzai became the youngest person to receive a Nobel Prize. The Pakistani activist had risen to world prominence as an advocate for women’s and children’s rights. The world’s current superstar teen activist, 16-year-old Greta Thunberg, has also been nominated for a Nobel, which would make her the youngest recipient. Greta is no Malala. She has been on an easy glide path to media celebrity and TV stardom, the product of a cultural and education system — and a global ideological movement — that finds it useful to manipulate children into becoming anxious activists.

Mac Security

Just came across a good deal on Intego Mac Internet Security X9 at $29.99 US for 3 years (for today only). Ive never used such security in all my years of using Macs. I'm wondering how many users actually use security software nowadays before I jump in for 3 years. There seems to be good reviews on the software.

Reset iPhone before selling

This morning I got a notice that somebody used my Apple ID to log on an iPhone 5c.

I don’t have an iPhone 5c.

I did recently sell an iPhone 6+ and an iPad Pro.

Before I sold them I used the erase and reset feature. Should I have done something more to make sure all my stuff was off them?

Boot rom won't update

Alright. I am hoping that you guys might be able to help me out as i have a bit of an issue.

I went back to High sierra from Mojave as mojave started to have some issues on my newly upgraded 2010 MacPro 5.1.

here are the specs:

Hardware Overview:

Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro5,1
Processor Name: 6-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3.46 GHz

Memory: 64 GB
Boot ROM Version: 138.0.0.0.0
SMC Version (system): 1.39f5
SMC Version (processor tray): 1.39f5
Serial Number (system): XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

*******************

As you can see, prior to go back to HS, i was hoping to get my boot rom to update to 140.0.0.0, but found out that it won't update to 140 or 142.

2 weeks after the upgrade, one of my SSD disk crapped out and bought a PCI card that can take a Crucial 1tb M2 NVME ssd drive.

I want to be able to boot to that drive instead of my Current one.

I also have a RX 580 Graphics card in running 3 monitors and a big screen.

My question to you is. Is there a way to upgrade the boot rom manually without installing Mojave as 10.14.x was very unstable on my macpro.

My issues with it was that one of my screen will start flickering, random screen going to sleep even though that feature was turned off and the performance wasn't there.

High Sierra is by far "in my own opinion" the most stable OS on this machine. screens doesn't flicker, runs super smooth even watching 4k video.

Broken Glass Replacement?

Hey Guys,
Our 2017 iMac fell over and the glass cracked.. the screen works. On checking it is a Retina screen 21.5. Wife called Mac and they want 750$ plus tax to fix. They say the LCD is fused to the glass. I checked youtube/google and noticed this is true, however I was wondering if there was any options or hacks? Can the glass be removed and only replaced? any links on how to do that? Can the Retina screen be replaced with a regular screen? (or are the connectors different)? I am angry over this and trying to come up with a cheaper alternative. (oh and no warranty covers this)

Thanks!
Jim

Illustrator CS6 cannot export to Photoshop

G'day,

This started happening a few days ago and is quite frustrating.

Up until then I could export to Photoshop CS6 with layers and editable type.

After whirring for a few minutes, I get the following message:

Photoshop file could not be saved. (As shown in attached screenshot.)

That's it, no error number or reason.

I'm asking here because Adobe's help doesn't seem very helpful these days.

macOS High Sierra 10.13.6
Mac mini Server (Late 2012)
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7

Any ideas?
