Really dislike the way Time Machine on APFS High Sierra Macs hide the size of local snapshots.
I've just done my weekly Time Machine backups to a pair of external hard drives and, as part of the process, those snapshots are migrated to the external drives. This is good, because my free space on a 256 GB SSD has gone from 101 GB to 121 GB.
I have a new use for my landline-replacement VoIP phone line supplied by the FTTN broadband service: I use it to delete the bullshit saved “xxxxxx reached your number at xx am/pm today and did not leave a message” messages from my voicemail.
@jussipekonen In Australia, if you select the highest specifications for a 13” MBP, the price is around $5200. Doing the same for the 15” needs an outlay of $10,300.
Seems like pretty significant differences to me.

New MacBook Pro was being used to display & scroll through (with occasional editing of) a Numbers spreadsheet stored in its iCloud Drive. It wasn’t using much power for that activity: FruitJuice app showed the battery as 76% charged with 13 hours & 32 minutes remaining.
Woot! In about three weeks I’ll have a battery that’ll run one of my G3 Pismo PowerBooks.
It’s coming from the lady who gave me both of them. I’m told it’s good for at least three hours.
I was at a State gathering today for the State-based level of the Men’s Shed organisation, there were several guest speakers present.
The most fascinating one was a gentleman call Professor Peter Hudson, who explained in layman’s terms the limitations of chemo & radiation therapy against cancer. He said that a great many cancers can now be cured with T-cell treatments, part of a new third wave or level of anti-cancer processes, using the immune syetem.
Perversely, the MacBook Pro has been going bonkers on creating system snapshots. To the extent of having doing 122 in the 9 hours I was away today. I do knows that Snapshots more than 24 hours old are deleted in High Sierra.
There were 127 local snapshots at 5 pm today. I turned off hourly backups in the Time Machine Preference pane then downloaded a current version of Time Machine Editor app, setting it the task of making backups every hour only.
Now there are only eight local snapshots in the system, those excessive ones generated every 30 seconds just up & vanished.
To check how many local snapshots are aboard, open Terminal & type "tmutil listlocalsnapshotdates” (minus punctuation) then hit the Return key. A list of active snapshots will be revealed in Year-Month-Day-24 hour time (in six digits).
Good news, Hospital phoned this morning (Sunday) to say they could do my iron infusion on Friday afternoon.
Handy, cos I have five different events to attend, one over two days, from Monday to Thursday.
It’s a simple procedure, taking around 15 minutes followed by 30 minutes of observation. Then I can drive home.
