RIP Sean Connery

Legendary James Bond actor Sean Connery has died, aged 90.

The Scottish Bafta-winning star played the British spy from 1962 until 1983.

I never was a James Bond fan, but I did like Connery's later in life characters.

Any Apple Motion users here?

It has been a few years since I have used Motion and even then it was pretty basic stuff. I am preparing something for a Christmas Festival production. Basically it is a 10 min intermission video clip that will have some slow gradual moving elements. One of the elements is a silhouette of the wisemen crossing the desert on their camels. Basically the angle works for part of the motion path but when it gets to a higher point and starts heading down the angle of the wisemen is wrong. What I want to do is at one point have the wisemen angle change to look more natural in a downslope movement. I have attached a screen shot which hopefully illustrates my issue and what I want to do.

Anyone know how to accomplish this? I thought about adding a spin to that point and thought I could get a partial spin to change the angle but just ended up with a spinning propeller of camels.

HPDM Framework, Matterhorn Framework?

Suddenly, today, I can't print from my Mac Air with my HP Laser Jet Pro MFP M26nw. I get these pop-ups every few seconds. Tried everything. Tried to follow some YT videos, but to no avail. I'd like to just uninstall all of the HP files and start again, re-install HP Easy Start. Can't find the uninstaller for THAT. I've read that it might tied to the Catalina update. Any advice would be appreciated. AND instructions.
/Michael.

Not compatible

My 27" mac's OS is High Sierra 10.13.6. It is 9 years old. It will no longer update newer OS. Just recently I got the message not compatible for updates for Photoshop, Lightroom/Classic, and Bridge. The new updates need 10.14.

Is there a way to update this software or I am out of luck?

CarPlay in real life

Well, it is finally time to buy a new car. Virtually all the models I'm looking at have CarPlay but I have a couple of questions:

Does CarPlay need its own data plan (extra $$$?) or does it just use cell data from the iPhone? I use Apple Maps for directions now so I presume CarPlay won't use a tonne more data?

Does CarPlay work decently with multiple iPhones? Four of us in the family have iPhones and any of us might take the car at any given time. My current car really only allows alternating between two Bluetooth connections for entertainment and hands-free calling...which is a pain-in-the-tail at times. CarPlay must be better, right?

Any other gottcha's or other issues with CarPlay?

2015 MBP: end of life?

I use my MBP for these things:

• Connect to external DAC via optical cable (Spotify)
• MS Office (light use)
• General email, web browsing
• Backup photos and Google Drive to external drives (light use; via USB)

I got a message saying Google Drive can’t auto sync due to not having the correct OSX and I see no Software Update option in Settings so I’m guessing my MBP has reached its limit.

Questions: is it accurate that I can no longer update the OSX due to its age? Is it now time to replace it even though everything else works fine? Is there a way of updating the OSX any other way? IS THIS REALLY TIME TO SAY GOODBYE??:(

iPhone Upgrade Question(s)

Hello again,

I'm about to upgrade from my trusty iPhone 6 to an iPhone 11. I've been using the 6 for years with iOS 10.3.3 and using iTunes v. 12.6.2 to backup locally and Image Capture to download photos. My iMac is running 10.9.5.

Will iTunes and Image Capture still work with an 11? I'm really not interested in upgrading everything to accommodate a phone.

Thanks in advance!

Sleeping MBP using lots of network data

Somehow, even with "wake for network access" disabled and my remote backup software (Backblaze) paused, my computer transferred 5.8 GB overnight.

I did some preliminary reading on different hibernation modes and determined mine is in the default "safe sleep" 3.

So I guess my question is two-fold:

A. Which sleep mode should I actually be in to prevent such network activity?

B. How do I determine which apps/processes are transferring that much data overnight?

Thanks for your help!

What are you watching?

This year's covid lockdown changed folks' entertainment habits enormously... and the streaming services have certainly benefitted.

What have you all been watching this year?

Some from my list:

• For All Mankind (AppleTV+ series)
• Raised by Wolves (HBO Max)
• Lower Decks (Star Trek animated series, CBS All Access)
• Space Force (Steve Carrell, Netflix)
• Away (Hillary Swank, Netflix - absolute shite, posted here as a warning)

and I've been popping in to PeacockTV.com for a Battlestar Galactica (reboot) rewatch from time to time.

Coming up, there's The Walking Dead season 10 finale this weekend (why do I bother, really?). Any other interesting series in the pipe that you can recommend?
