What does a filesystem have to do with copy-pasting?
I think he meant copy-pasting files.
>Responsive. Designed to make common tasks like duplicating a file and finding the size of a folder’s contents happen instantly.
I still haven't updated to Sierra because I depend on Karabiner. Just tried the newest version of Karabiner-Elements and it still doesn't do everything I need.
I had the same issue, but I switched from Karabiner to https://www.orderedbytes.com/controllermate/ and I couldn't be happier. It did take a bit of extra time to replicate my Karabiner setup, however controllermate is much more capable and the overall result has been worth the effort.

> Better move to Lightroom or something similar. I don't want to rent software, and I don't want to install the dreaded Adobe installer. What other good alternatives are there? Darktable doesn't pass the test.
I was an big Aperture user too, and put off the move a long time. I installed and edited the same photos in everything. You either take the feature-set hit and switch to Apple Photos ( which does a great job with basic tweaks ), or you switch to Lightroom. Everything else is way below par. Your photos just won't anywhere near as good.

I've been finding the same with iOS updates lately. iOS 11 has some nice improvements, imho, but they're not any major advancements, just the usual incremental improvements. Could have just called it iOS 10.4 and be done with it. That wouldn't be PR-friendly enough though.
If you have an iPad the iOS 11 update is huge . Being able to run two apps side-by-side with drag and drop supported across the system is a fundamental change to how you interact with stuff. The new dock and changes to the multitasking interface and behavior take some getting used to, but my iPad feels like a much more powerful device than it did a week ago.
You already could run two apps side by side in iOS 10 (I was a pretty heavy user of that feature, which is incidentally also the primary reason I opted into the beta), it just wasn't quite as flexible. Drag and drop is new, for sure. I suppose I haven't used it much so haven't really noticed it.
The dock seems like a small improvement over the old dock, added because of the better multitasking.
They're great improvements for sure, but they still seem like incremental improvements to me.

Which notifications are you talking about? I have no such experience using Sierra.
Notifications at the top-right, covering the top-right of whichever window is active. Fortunately most of them can be dismissed, but those concerning updates cannot, which is extremely annoying. I've once already accidentally triggered a 15 minute update, which can be extremely inconvenient when it happens at the wrong time. I've found a way to get rid of the update notifications, though: click "details", which opens…
I also never get notifications about updates. No workarounds needed.

Alternatively, Settings > App Store > uncheck "Download newly available updates in the background"
In this blog post, we briefly discussed High Sierra's "Secure Kernel Extension Loading" (SKEL) and demonstrated a new 0day vulnerability that can be exploited to fully bypass this new `security' feature.
Unfortunately when such `security' features are introduced - even if done so with the noblest of intentions - they often just complicate the lives of 3rd-party developers and users without affecting the bad guys (who don't have to play `by the rules'). High Sierra's SKEL's flawed implementation is a perfect example of this. [There are many other examples.]
Of course if Apple's ultimate goal is simply to _continue_ to wrestle control of the system away from it users, under the guise of `security', I'm not sure any of this even matters."

Ugh, wasn’t aware of that. That plus my annoyances with the sorting will definitely make me reconsider using the shared albums as the primary way of sharing family photos.
Serious question: What family sharing use case needs more than 100 albums for sharing family photos, and what family sharing use case needs more than 1000 photos "per hour" (you can add thousands, just rate limits the uploading)? Agree with you on the time ordering. If people want a particular order, they could upload in that order. If they want time ordered, they could tap a button to refresh sort by time taken. How…
Which is why we have UTC.
> The resultant sort will be interleaved by sets out of order by hours in case of time zones
See UTC.
> or out of order by minutes for individual devices.
which is alright, compared to the sort by time added to album.

> What family sharing use case needs more than 100 albums for sharing family photos. 100 albums is nothing. Looking at my photo share history (on Google+, not iCloud as iCloud is useless) I have about 500 albums shared with friends and family over the last five years. And of course, there have been innumerably more albums shared with me, while iCloud limits that too to only 100 albums. The best thing about these Goog…
What problems do you have with Google Photos on iOS, macOS? I use it regularly with web (windows, macOS) and my android, iOS devices and have no major complaints. For me, it's by far the best photos solution there is.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I agree, the good thing about Apple and Microsoft is I know what they want to sell me. Apple want me to buy relatively expensive devices on a regular basis and ideally a cloud subscription. Microsoft want me to buy subscriptions to their cloud services and ideally devices running their OS. In both cases the value for them is fairly clear and they have limited incentives to do anything that might jepordise those reven…
And yet, microsoft started incorporating ads inside of windows 10. The business models helps, but if you can both sell a product and get ad revenue, why wouldn't you ? In apple's case, they have a fairly small but dedicated marketshare that cares deeply about those issue. That's why I trust them to not sabotage their product. Microsoft has a monopoly, they don't need to care.
