more than that. They reiterated that they will continue to sell Intel Macs for the next few years. I reckon we'll get another decade at least
Did they say that? I would be surprised if they released more Intel Macs.
I’m on Mojave still, are you able to move or hide the FaceTime dialog that appears in the upper right when making or answering a FaceTime audio call so it doesn’t block whatever is behind it such as the taskbar ?
Yes, that's now draggable.

The last Windows compatible version of Safari was back in 2012 or so, and as far as I know, it was never available on Linux. Therefore, for me to test on Safari, I either have to spend thousands to buy a laptop, or pay out of my pocket for some sort of cross-browser testing tool (even if it's free, I am spending extra…
"Therefore, for me to test on Safari, I either have to... pay out of my pocket for some sort of cross-browser testing tool (even if it's free, I am spending extra time)" That's precisely the 'lazy web developer' that they're talking about. Oh god no, you have to test on a browser you don't use. Sure Chrome is dominant, but Safari has about 15% of the market so by taking the stance you do, you're dismissing 1 of 6 peo…

It is great, but: 1. Just lost a few hundred Tabs from last session. Not the first time this has happened to me on Safari. ( Firefox used to have this problem as well, they implemented multiple LastSession.json to combat the problem and it is basically a thing of the past. ) 2. Fav Icons meant they are no longer showing the Tab Description once you have a dozen tabs as they will shrink to Icons Size. So you either ha…
"Just lost a few hundred Tabs from last session. Not the first time this has happened to me on Safari. ( Firefox used to have this problem as well, they implemented multiple LastSession.json to combat the problem and it is basically a thing of the past." Everyone has a story like this - from all of the browsers. It seems like FF behaves better in this way now, but I still do silly things like rsync my home directory…

Even then, you can sync open tabs with Firefox Sync! (Or Chrome sync, or Safari via iCloud)
Yes, though I find I want far fewer tabs on Mobile than I do on Desktop.

Haven't tried it on Big Sur, but maybe `defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 1` does the trick?
Thats what did the trick, its hard to say for sure: defaults write -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool NO Yea, logic is inverted here.
defaults -currentHost write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int 0

The only reason I'm using FF is TreeStyleTab. I seriously don't understand how people live without it. Right now I have 993 open tabs, sometimes I have 100, sometimes 2k - don't really care, but they are easily navigatable as a tree-like structure on the side of the screen.
Genuine question because our tab handling strategies seem to differ - how frequently do you return to a given tab? Do you keep them for reference in some way, or is it more out of concern of having to navigate back over again?
- Open tabs are the opposite - if you close them, they're gone forever. So once you no longer need a certain tree of tabs (e.g., like above, you've finished researching something), you just dispose of the whole tree; if there's anything particularly valuable in there, you can add it to bookmarks.
So, e.g. if I'm doing house renovation I may have trees of tabs with hundreds of open tabs in them while researching something. Same when coding, if I'm investigating a particular topic I may have tons of open tabs that will eventually get closed all together.
In some rare cases, I keep a tab or a tree of tabs open just so I don't forget to navigate back to it in the foreseeable future (at which point it will likely get closed).

Out of curiosity, what apps are those?
Of the top of my head: - software for a "smart pen" where the company went out of business - some label printing software - some Steam games - some games from GOG Even if I don't run these daily, I don't like to be cut off from my past.

The lack of integration with other services is why I don't use it. I stick to MSFT Edge which also has improved battery life over Chrome.
are you saying edge on macos is better than chrome on macos? curious about how this is even possible, considering google has been at this (meaning - developing chrome for macos) for more than a decade (i think)
