  • How to quickly share & manage file paths in macOS Finder

    paxmanpaxman
    I can't believe I'm saying this, but Windows handily beats macOS in this regard. You click on the folder name and the path appears in an editable field and already selected so you can copy it immediately, or type in a new path to move to a different folder.

    I'd be happy if they had a right-click-on-name in macOS that let you Copy.
    Windows was always better in file management imo. But there is a very simple way to right click in combination with the first option listed in the article
    1. Open Finder and navigate to the desired file or folder.
    2. In the Finder menu, choose "View."
    3. Select "Show Path Bar."
    4. Enabling the Path Bar will display the complete file path at the bottom of every Finder window, allowing users to see it without copying anything.
    Once you have file path displayed at the bottom of your finder window (who doesn't? I have had this option set for as long as I can remember. Literally years if not decades), you can now right click anywhere in the file path and copy the file path to wherever you clicked.
    Alternatively you can just Option Right Click on any file. You can do that in any view anywhere

    You may also have some luck by checking this link out. I only just discovered it and it looks intriguing.

  • We demand our Right to Repair, iFixit tells FTC

    Damn right! The right to repair is such a clear cut case. Apple should champion this.

  • Apple Vision Pro $3,499 mixed-reality headset launches at WWDC after years of rumors

    So at 3,499 USD this will be a runaway success... not. I guess the prices will drop but that is a big chunka cash.

    Paying me for the data I opt in to provide sounds like a trend I would like to see expand.
    And, in this case, it's a double-benefit if it encourages someone to begin—and make a habit—of some healthy life choices. That part will pay greater dividends than the money alone.

    No healthcare, pharma or insurance company ever did anything other than for their bottom line. There is no way this has anything to do with making healthy choices. A healthy client is a non-paying client, the saying goes. Don't you ever feel you are being scammed?
    That is true with the health service delivery part (i.e., doctors, hospitals, and pharmaceuticals). Insurance companies want to avoid paying for these things. One way for this to happen is for you to need it less. One way for that to happen is for you to be healthier.
    Totally agree. Following any kind of official guidelines are unlikely to make that happen, however. I am not sure an insurance company cares how much it pays out as whatever it is will always be reflected in what it charges. They more it pays out the more it will charge and the more it will profit. Health for profit doesn't really work. 
    Okay. 🙄
    As a kind of 'aside' here is a graphic of what happened when the USDA introduced the dietary guidelines. You can research this as much as you want. The food pyramid is an absolute joke and was never based on science at all. Today 88% of Americans are classed as metabolically unhealthy.

  • You might be ready for side loading on iPhone, but your parents aren't

    Yeah... this will essentially be the Mac model on iPhone and iPad. 

    Maybe that's fine for the iPad Pro. But especially for the iPhone, I think it's a bad idea. I like my iPhone to 'just work,' I don't want to need to figure out which apps or app stores are 'safe' and which aren't. I really prefer my iPhone to be more like an appliance. 

    I wonder if Apple will choose to only allow third party app stores in the EU, and save the rest of the world from having to deal with this?
    I think it might be a very good idea. I think Apple will manage to set it up so it won't become a nightmare situation. I like the idea of being able to use non Apple approved apps, specifically apps. Apple restrictions often seem more about keeping industry partners happy than a worry about the OS being compromised. Do you find that your Mac doesn't 'Just Work" because of the availability of apps outside of the Appstore? 

    I think that Apple does a good job curating the OS and other content, but I think customers would benefit from a less restrictive approach.
