@sumudu Get iMazing, Bartender, Downie, Folx, BetterTouchTool, Forecast Bar, TouchRetouch and iStat Menus for starters.
@sumudu You won’t, you know. It’s too old. Needs to be from 2012 to run Mojave. http://osxdaily.com/2018/06/05/macos-mojave-compatible-macs-list/
Something was using 12 GB of space on my MacBook Pro. Five days ago I had 125 GB of free space, it was down to 113 about ten minutes ago. It’s back at 125 GB again.
The culprit was Carbon Copy Cloner, in those five days it had made a pair of large snapshots which were saved to some deep dark hidden location in the System Library. You don’t mess about in there.
Instead you locate your startup drive in the left column in the CCC window & click on it. This reveals the snapshots in part of CCC diagonally opposite the selected drive.
You can restore the system from these snapshots OR delete them. I chose to delete the two larger snapshots, on of 11 GB created when I first backed up Mojave to CCC, the other of about 1 GB was made when I backed it up this morning.
I’m still allowing CCC to create these snapshots but now I know how to delete them if they are too big.
@sumudu I’ve upgraded my 2017 iMac (Fusion drive); my 2017 MacBook Pro (SSD) & the Men’s Shed 2015 iMac (HDD). All work fine although I don’t like the look of dark mode in some apps. In Mail, for example, it’s vile. The Fusion drive & HDD iMacs now use APFS.
@sumudu You must have a slowly updating App Store or you don’t use it often enough. Safari 12 was updated before Mojave arrived. https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/09/17/apple-releases-safari-12-for-owners-of-macos-sierra-high-sierra
Petrol prices are on a major spike in these parts at present. There are two fuel stations within 10 km that are under $1.50 per litre, most suburbs/regions are either side of $1.65 & those prices are for 10% ethanol fuel - regular 91-octane is a few cents per litre higher.
In one rural city some 50 km away, most fuel stations are in collusion, it would appear. Their prices are even lower than my local ones, most being around $1.44 per litre - they’ve been keeping their prices lower than surrounding districts for at least 18 months.
Around midnight (almost 5 hours ago) I suddenly had a sharp, taut pain across my chest seemingly radiating out from my sternum. And it wouldn’t go away. I’m still recovering from pneumonia & need to attend a respiratory specialist to check on lung function, there may be some existing lung damage to the lower left lung. I was rather conserned to be experiencing chest pain in this context.
Turns out to have been gastric reflux. A chewable tablet consisting of a pleasant minty taste & 250mg Sodium Alginate, 106.5mg Sodium Bicarbonate and 187.5mg Calcium Carbonate fixed the ptoblem within five minutes.
I have just realised that the Samsung T5 ext SSD’s security setup can be turned off. While on, it initially mounts on the desktop as from a hidden & non-removable password=protected partition. Entering the password unmounts the hidden partition & mounts the actual SSD itself.
Deactivating the security partition means it acts as a conventional external drive.
@variablepulserate There are mitre saws that cut at various angles with the blade vertical. Compound mitre saws add the ability to tilt the blade as well. Mitre saws & compound mitre saws pivot in a vertical-oriented arc to cut the material. A sliding compound mitre saw adds the advantage of a radial arm saw to the mix, meaning you pivot the saw down first, then push it forward through the material. Sliding saws can cut much wider stuff.
