Key Repeat is disabled in recent Mac OS versions. The option to adjust it is still in System Preferences but it does nothing. Zip. Fuck all.
Off to Mr Google for help.
Open Terminal. Enter defaults write NSGlobalDomain ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false and press return. DO NOT enter your password.
@skematica Once upon a time a Mac app called iChat AV would let one user control another's computer over the magic interwebs. As well as allowing for hosting video chat to up to 9 others. It got dumped in favour of FaceTime.
Well, FaceTime and Messages can, under certain circumstances, be combined to allow the remote use of another's Mac, but only with their permission.
Cooking up a medallion of rump steak. A $10 pack is enough for four meals for me.
And I found a fortified wine from South Australia's Barossa Valley that I hadn't had for 33 years, since I was on a bus tour that visited the winery. It tastes better than its description: tawny port to which is added fine German chocolate, special herbs & a three-year-old brandy.
They haven't even changed the label in that time.
@matigo True. Does nothing for productivity. Actually increases energy consumption. And messes up business between eastern & western areas.
Sydney/Melbourne are normally 2 hours earlier that Perth, DST will make that 3 hours as WA doesn't participate in the silliness.
When the office opens in Perth, head office out east is going off to lunch, so there's two hours available for stuff until the western lunch hour. By the time Perth is back from their lunch at 1 pm local time it's 4 pm out east. Leaving about another hour to get stuff done.
Daylight savings time starts tomorrow. Hopefully, only four units will have to be done manually: the oven, microwave, car clock & stereo in car. Otherwise I use computers, iOS jiggers & cordless phone handsets that work over a VOiP connection.
I headed to the Opera Beta web browser I've been playing with (the one with the proxy-based "VPN") for my daily dose of online news items. But the app kept locking up the Mac. Other apps would become unresponsive. Tabbed articles would take "forever" to load, if they loaded at all.
Not caring at this point about the VPN part, just wanting the News, I downloaded Opera's latest Alpha version & it behaved perfectly fine. No issues at all. Best of all, the VPN has made its way to the mainstream Opera version.
No longer needing the Beta version, I uninstalled it, just as I had uninstalled the pre-Beta Developer version when it was no longer the only way to access the browser-environment VPN.
@gtwilson Yeah, damn shame about Windows Phone OS. I used a Lumia 1020 for 2 years (my sister has it now). It had some seriously good stuff available. No decent web browser though.
