Having I iCloud access to your clipboard is scary ( unless it is encrypted E2E). Now your data, that was otherwise not meant to go to cloud, will endup being there.

Heads up for anyone using Karabiner to remap their keyboard-- it's not updated for Sierra yet. I figure that's a more popular app among HN crowd than most places, and losing it is really painful.

Oh, thanks. That saved me from a lot of trouble. :) This is the Github issue if anyone needs to subscribe to this issue: https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner/issues/660

EDIT: I read the comments at above issue; the version for MacOS Sierra is being developed as "Karabiner-Elements" [1]

And you can make a donation to the author here[2].

"Siri makes its debut on Mac" Siri has been in iOS since 2011 and still can't handle basic parsing/questions. There was that demo of something that looked a lot better, but I've never seen it actual rolled into the product.

Is it a voice/accent thing? Siri and Google both do fine with my general questions and commands. If you have some list, I would love to test them.

OP here. OT, but I came across a post on HN saying macOS Sierra was out, and it gave instructions on how to navigate to it from the App Store for download. So I did, then I copied the direct link and posted it. Now I'm on the front page. HN is funny.

Great, I'm so looking forward to apple having access to all of my porn links.

I'd rather see updated Mac hardware. According to MacRumors, it's been 490 days since the last MacBook Pro Retina was released.

We'd all like to see new Mac hardware but it's not like the OS X team is pulling engineers from the hardware team.

I assume it will be backed by the same transport channel used for Handoff / Continuity, which is E2E-encrypted between devices and work on either wifi or bluetooth.

Same here. I use Siri to dictate text messages over my car's audio system and it works 9/10 times without a typo.
