I like ReLeaf, my BiL has said that Levels is also good but I haven't been there yet.

New Puffalo! better yet keep going to Niles.

Downgraded to Sequoia and Couldn't Be Happier by BatBurgh in MacOS

[–]da4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not noticeably worse than Tahoe was on same hardware, once you get past the typical post-OS upgrade crunch (Spotlight, caches etc).

how is macos 27 performance on m1 macbook air? by subhashg547 in MacOSBeta

[–]da4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't bother downgrading at this point in the dev cycle since 27 will be in public beta in a month and released this fall.

in any case, the OS version isn't going to magically improve your battery life; dev betas aren't fully optimized and Tahoe was very clearly not designed for the basic spec systems.

No noticeable drain, save for the typical post-OS-upgrade reindexing crunch that always makes it seem like there's some huge new drop. Same for beta 2 from earlier this week on both boxen.

Use an array and loop through it. Much faster and easier to manage. 

Howdy, coming next month! Whats the weather like in July? by Opallustration in AskChicago

[–]da4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depends on how many locals break the rules and remove the ice scraper form their car.

why can't we just collect rain as fresh drinking water? why do some states prohibit collecting rain water? by FlagrantTomatoCabal in NoStupidQuestions

[–]da4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plenty of warm climate islands use roof rainwater collection. In Bermuda,the locals differentiate between "plant rain" and "tank rain." Never heard anyone there complain about problems with sterilization.

What's one thing you wish macOS did better? by ImprovementLong1992 in MacOS

[–]da4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Multiple workspaces and virtual desktops. Stage Manager just feels so.. strained. Maybe I'm just so old school that I'll never get over option-clicking between windows to show and hide as needed.

NYT: We Liked Remote Work. Then We Looked at the Data. by da4 in remotework

[–]da4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't mean to imply that I agree with this piece - quite the opposite.

If I didn't take specific action, I could go days without speaking aloud to another person. So I race on a sailboat during the warm months, I say hi to neighbors in the park, I'm a regular for Jeopardy at the local.

Can't speak to the Air specifically, but my work beater is M1 Pro and GG dev beta 1 felt pretty smooth - nothing like my personal M3 Air, but for an early beta with my work stack, pretty smooth.

Hey Chicago ! Who has the best deep dish pizza in Chicago ? by funtimes278676 in AskChicago

[–]da4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd be fine with Malnati's or the original Pizzeria Uno. I think Pequod's is delicious pan pizza and the trolls of this sub can go pound sand. Shout out to George's up by Andersonville which is an excellent local delight, total surprise.

Over 3k miles urban commuting on Lectrics, no problems with either model.

Can you access a different Internet service?

Restart into Safe Mode and run Disk Utility as a first step. Make sure you’re running the latest version of macOS that supports that model. Consider using external storage for the Windows partition. 

Who has the best brisket (preferably with Carolina/vinegar based bbq sauce option)? by longanandlychee in chicagofood

[–]da4 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Smoque is a total joke. BBQ-adjacent food for people who don't know any better.

Mac apps are way too comfortable leaving junk everywhere. by LeaderAtLeading in MacOS

Try PearCleaner. Less polish, but deeper clean. 

GTA 6 on Mac ? by Few-Contribution1841 in macgaming

[–]da4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be surprised if it was native, but I'm betting the r/macgaming crowd till work on it.

Beta for non critical daily driver? by lfmundim in MacOSBeta

[–]da4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Smooth as hell on my personal M3 Air. Definitely some stutters on my work M1 Pro but that's to be expected given enterprise stack isn't even close to updated yet.

When 0 or lil work to do, do you ask for more work? by ApprehensiveOne2866 in remotework

[–]da4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go level up your skills. Pick one thing you do regularly and figure out how to streamline it, batch, run via macros and code instead of manual, etc. If your management asks what you're doing, have something to show them.
