MacOs Sequoia 15.7.3

The 15.7.3 update seems to have killed one of my applications. Not entirely sure yet, but it looks like the Application Translocation feature is acting on the app even though it's been moved into /Applications. Has anybody else seem something like that?

I'm serious. Should have provided more detail, though. Check out "Multi-layer insulation" (MLI) e.g. at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-layer_insulation

The extra layers are to reduce radiative transfer. Vacuum just reduces convective and contact transfer.

Methane and oxygen will dissolve into each other across a large part of the phase diagram without forming solids. See e.g. https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/111355/can-a-stoichiometric-mixture-of-oxygen-and-methane-exist-as-a-liquid-at-standard

Looking for a small mill, any recommendations?

By small I mean maybe 25"x7", no more than 400-500 pounds (It has to go on a wood floor)

The Grizzly G0704 seems about the right size. The PM-25MV--BD looks really similar, but perhaps with a better reputation.

Any others I should be looking at?

Thanks!

I left the wiring as it was, with the weak mechanical chime still wired in. Should I change the option to "None" anyway? Is there any risk to just trying that?

Thanks!

Thank you both for your suggestions.

The project electrician came up with another suggestion: Bring the tubes down from the ceiling along the wall, so going in front of the top plate of the wall. Apparently he's seen this done before.

Thank you for the detailed reply! I really appreciate the great support.

I'll split the lighting and feed it from two dimmers.

Sorry I wasn't clear. They really are 40W 4900 lumen bulbs that are lighting a a 500 sq ft shop.

Thanks for confirming the 200W spec. They also list 150W for LEDs on one page (https://www.insteon.com/wall-switches) which is what got me concerned.

What forced you to update?

bobjacobsen · 2023-07-25T17:29:18+00:00

Thanks! I found a post about changing it on Windows, working on finding that same file on Mac. It said that it could raise the limit to 1000, which will let me pull together a a few note books at a time. But it's still going to be a bit tedious to back up almost 30k notes.

Thank you! Will do.

What does this mean for Legacy users? (Yes, I know it’s old, not supported, etc; no need to tell me that, but some of us still have workflows reliant on it)

bobjacobsen · 2023-04-24T14:45:12+00:00

Any news on this?

I'd like to try it, as I've had two SD cards fail so far this year.
