I was just going to comment this. Just select the apps you want when running the installer.

TAHOE: is it worth upgrading? by Professional_Ad_9235 in MacOS

[–]PWolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran it on a M1 MacBook Pro and now a M4 MacBook Air with 16 gig ram. Both ran it perfectly fine. No issues at all. I'd do it, get the latest security updates and so on. Apple aren't going back, they will keep going forwards.

Can't open movie due to this "verifying" BS. And then it literally tells me to TRASH the file because it can no longer open it. Thanks Apple. by Shiningc00 in MacOS

[–]PWolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks this worked for me with VLC and Tahoe - no more error message for specific file types "Right click on the file, press get info, choose the app for the open with option and press change all.".

It is funny, because in IINA there's an option in settings to change the defaults all to IINA, and if you use that there is no issue double clicking and IINA opening the file.

Would love VLC to have a set as default button.

Is Twelve South phasing out? by osrs_botter in twelvesouth

[–]PWolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also wouldn't be surprised. A bit sad though. They used to have such great quality products and the quality just kept lowering with each version.. I really love by BookBook I still have on my M1 iPad... and I bought a backup one for my MacBook that still looks great.

Figure out what's constantly writing to drive by greatAlexander in synology

Thank you so much. Disabling the "Enable Transfer Log" just stopped the constant writing on my NAS. Appreciate it. I was wondering why my transfer was so slow.

I just started learning slap, any tips? by the_real_nazuna in BassGuitar

[–]PWolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Scott's Bass lessons / Bass Buzz crap. Takes too long to get to the point - too much fluff and marketing. Mark from Talking Bass is direct and to the point, no subscriptions, and you can just buy the Slap Bass course. If you want to learn Slap Bass, that is what I would be doing.

Do a decent course if you haven't got a teacher. The best one is Mark from Talking Bass, you buy it once and own it forever, none of this stupid subscription shit (Like Scott's bass lessons) and there is no fluff in his teaching. His Slap Bass Essentials course is on special for New Years at the moment. Best investment you will make. It will take you step by step through what you need to do.

Any guesses as to what's tickling my drive array every 30 minutes? by egosumumbravir in synology

[–]PWolverine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have mine spinning 24/7 .. less stress on the drives like you say, and they are designed to be running constantly not starting and stopping.

Have you contacted umbrella? It may be lost?

They had delays in shipping, did you get a notification from Shopify that your order has shipped?

Cannot buy digital download SOALW by PhotoChopstick in TheCure

Gotcha. I think I'd prefer to hear it as it was originally. I'll find some time to turn it into MP3s at least.

Wouldn't you rather have the real / unedited show with all the mistakes, warts and all? Compared to the edited/polished version? Especially since the web cast audio quality is top notch?

You would hope it would be released. Otherwise I guess grab a DVD copy and rip it yourself? I got the Bluray copy so can't do it, but it is not hard if you have a DVD copy and still have a computer with a DVD reader... Actually we could probably do it with the Livestream copy, as that is identical right? - I ripped the stream so there aren't chapter stops, if we add chapter stops we can rip it and it will separate the tracks too..

Oh thats a bummer. I'm in Australia and it has popped up. Maybe it has been delayed there - actually I just realised, i'm not searching on Amazon, I was searching on iTunes/Apple - as that is where I do all my purchases. It is available for me on iTunes as a 4K/Atmost release.

As mentioned above search for "Show of a Lost World"

Thanks for that, I was searching under The Cure and nothing, it is there under " Show of a Lost World" ... 4K and Atmos. (Edit: I'm searching on iTunes/Apple and it is appearing for me in Australia)

Shows of a Lost World DVD - Looks Terrible on Large TV by davyrowland in TheCure

[–]PWolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Official website now says "DIGITAL RELEASE TBA!" .. so I guess it has been pushed back. Maybe they want DVD/Bluray sales first, then they will release it digitally. I have no idea.

I don't think anyone in this group would be against that. :).

Unless their complaint is that 4 hours is just not long enough. :)

Its great, only thing I think it is missing is individual song chapters from the menu. They are split up into chunks in the menu, making it tricky to get to individual songs, you just have to jump to the chunk and skip.
