  • How to use Spaces, Apple's mostly ignored macOS Mojave productivity feature

    I use Spaces all the time, everyday. It's an awesome feature of macOS. I have screen corners setup to do different things depending on which corner. When I use Windows, I'm constantly trying to use Spaces which obviously not there. 
    It is there in Windows 10, I guess they also call it spaces, or Windows Spaces, or whatever... But their gestures are crap, so are their touch pads, to perform those gestures, hmmm (I know the touch pads are not Microsoft's, but you see my point). You can still use the keyboard but this is no match for a three or four finger swipe : Ctrl+Win+Left/Right to switch desktop, Ctrl+Win+Tab to get the Exposé like view if I remember well. Anyway, working on Windows is getting more and more painful. The ways macOS and the macs are made is not perfect, but still is quite awesome, at least to me.

    I also use Spaces every day. I have a goofing off space, a work space, a medical/fitness space, and an email clients space. Instant swiping between them via the trackpad or magic mouse. it’s perfect for me. 
    I can't say it better, so I won't. :smile:

  • More malicious apps found in Mac App Store that are stealing user data

    Users should be educated or the system strengthened so as to not need those cleaning apps. Sad... Reminds me of the Windows 95 days.

  • Remote macOS exploit using custom URL schemes demonstrated by security researcher

    I think the OS should not register those handlers for applications in the Download folder. It would be up to the user to move these elsewhere, in the Applications or other folders, where the handlers could registered. I am not suggesting a Windows installer like gaz plant but hey, too easy is not good either. :)

  • Slow progress on common smartphone charger initiative may get extra EU push

    The problem is easily solved. Stop bundling chargers with the products (just the USB-<whatever> cable) and let people decide if they want to buy a new one separately or just use what they have, that is: their current chargers, their TV, PC and car USB ports or whatever. Crazy...

    Many home video devices such as Bluray players used to come without an HDMI cable, people would just buy the HDMI cable they want: 50cm, 2m, 10m... Same thing for the stuff to be hooked on walls: just buy the proper screws and dowels depending on your walls. Seems simple.
