Reports that macOS 15.5 frees up lots of disk space https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/1km81zl/major_disk_space_freed_after_macos_155_update/ Has Apple secretly purchased @siracusa Hyperspace app and bundled it? #macOS #Apple
@randomphrase Ha, yes, well spotted. What a treat.
Filled in a form to get an insurance quote. Gave them info including name, date of birth and phone number. They then called and to "confirm" asked for my name and date of birth. I jokingly asked if they wanted my phone number. Surely this is security theatre?
@FChagnard There should be a hashtag #trix
@siracusa all this talk of RamDoubler and DiskDoubler on ATP triggered a memory of a time in the 90s when somoene released software that drastically sped up Finder copies. I was working at Apple at the time and we were amazed. It turned out that the Finder was updating the progress bar so frequently that it slowed down the file copy!
@vk2di Yes, it's probably no good for CW as it's looking for voice.
