Transmit 5 in the Mac App Store later this year because of changes to sandboxing. Will be subscription-based on MAS as a way to allow free trials? But, you can buy directly from them for a flat price.
I'm interested in these sandboxing changes... I was wondering how the hell they convinced Panic to return to the store when they announced it.

Feels super smooth. The keyboard is noticeably more responsive!

Thanks! Just gone ahead and set it to download. Seems to run fine on my SE too :)

I just realized I could tell Siri to sleep my NAS now or disable my Pihole for a few minutes

I wonder if the Shortcuts app will be powerful enough to evaluate responses via workflow if the wf puts out Text or other data types as response? I think I've seen a custom Siri answer with variables in that stage demo. I'm so hyped for this feature

Installed XCode 10 and Mojave but I'll wait on the Public Beta for iOS 12.

Guess I'll spend my evening messing around with these betas and reading through whatever WWDC documentation and presentations are out today.

I love that I come here and see tons of people trying out the new release, giving tips on usage, etc... while the MacRumors forums are just a mess of "STEVE WOULD'VE HATED ANIMOJIS"

I know, going there was my first mistake, but I am ever hopeful.

The Home app on Mac is ROUGHHHH. It works flawlessly though--once I figure out how to automate my home with Alfred I'll literally be a tech wizard.

Just got around to catching up with Mojave news... so glad my mid-2012 MBA snuck in to make the supported list. Can plan a new laptop purchase next year now, then.

So I tried changing my iPad passcode and it lagged, I either typed the wrong characters or forgot. And now I'm locked out and feel stupid.

This never happened to me before - what are my options? Can I hook it up to iTunes and enter my iCloud password to override the iPad's device passcode, or do I have to completely erase and restore from an iCloud backup?

Unfortunately, the latter

if iOS 12 does indeed significantly improve performance on A7 devices, do we think there's a decent chance they'll support iOS 13 as well? they already got their pass on the usual yearly purging this year, and they do tend to have decent support for modern iOS features like metal, 64-bit, touch id, etc.

Would that really help much? I figured it would be more of OS or RAM thing. I also want to be able to do more after effects stuff outside of work and idk how well the integrated graphics card can handle that.

An SSD is by far the best upgrade you can perform. My 2007 Dell Vostro with an SSD is faster than a lot of newer HDD-based laptops.

I've upgraded my neighbor's 2012 or 2013 MBP to an SSD and it made a massive difference. Adding more RAM certainly helps though.

An SSD might improve playback performance within an editor since it's reading info much faster from the scratch disk, but actually rendering time probably won't improve much. That's more of a CPU issue.

Definitely the biggest new thing about iOS12 seems to be an unrestricted 3rd party Siri support.
New notification grouping is cool too.
Another nice thing I've noticed is that the OS no longer darkens the lock screen wallpapers. Someone at apple finally realised that people would rather see nice and bright pictures of people close to them than a slightly more readable freaking clock.

I suspect iOS 12 still has the ugly full screen volume control by the way?
Yes, it still looks the same.

I think they'll drop all devices with 1GB of RAM for iOS 13 to make way for new features.

My 2012 Mac mini survives another update nice (I think it's still the most powerful mini they've made. Which is sad).

My 2010 11" Air? Not so much. Oh well. Time to ditch the laptop and go iPad only for work.

How would someone check the lockscreen if the phone bypassed it automatically when you look at it?
Just like with the jailbreak tweak, if you have a notification or music is playing it doesn't unlock automatically. Also, some people don't care about checking the lockscreen so an option would be nice.

Was genuinely curious, as I have no idea about those tweaks. I guess those methods can work, although they introduce some random variability to the workflow, or make people fetch for possibly important information like missed calls and whatnot. But in principle I'm not against options.

No support in the new SDK.

right, but that's developer impact more than user impact - for a user there's still no compromises for 32-bit apps in mojave that i'm aware of

So Mojave is 64-bit only? Might have to stay on High Sierra if that's the case, as my copy of Photoshop is 32-bit and I'm not ready to shell out for a new copy.

no, mojave still runs 32-bit apps, but it is the last release that will.
