Google Chrome update corrupting some macOS installs -- but there's a fix
You took the words right out of my mouth!osmartormenajr said:Why would anyone on a Mac ditch Safari for Chrome is beyond me. This piece o garbage is a resource hog on par with some scientific computing programs I’m running.
Safari is one of the high points in my choosing of Apple hardware. But to each their own, dumb as it may appear...
Where I work, I actively delete Google Chrome, especially on Mac's, anytime I encounter it, as any time a machine comes to the bench with issues, 99% of it I trace the problem back to Chrome.
Like with everything Google, it's fucking garbage to avoid like the plague!

Amazon's Echo range updates take the smart speaker fight to HomePod

Agreed, but the lines are blurred lately. Look at routers. Apple had the nicest looking routers, but then the industry surpassed them. Competitors have finally started taking the "fashion design" route with products because outwardly appearance is important to consumers when faced with the options. No longer are computers dumb boxes to be shoved under a desk, but they are an appliance that stands out in the world. Smart Speakers take that a level further.
I'm trying to think of what a Smart Speaker would look like without this new focus on design. Maybe like this?

Apple's iOS 13.1 is now available for your iPhone and iPod touch
Installing it now on my new iPhone 11 Pro Max!
Can't wait to leave 13.0 behind, it has been painful for me so far, even on this new iPhone!
