Another wacky idea from Monkey Boy's company.

To fair, Monkey Boy took over from the Thief Chief and now has handed over to what seems to be a pretty smart guy.  That said this sounds pretty awful.

I am tempted to try this, I mean there isn’t much super intreasting in this release but I really wanna try goth mode but I don’t know if the beta’ishness of this release is worth it.

Whatever you do don’t try any beta anything on your main computer, the one you depend on daily to get things done. A public beta should, in theory at least, be relatively stable but never assume that. If you just must try it out then install it on a drive or partition other than your main boot drive. You can even migrate your main system to the test drive to see if things are working but don’t EVER let a beta anywhere near your working system. 

I'd say that's going too far with the warnings.  Once a user understands Volumes in Containers as opposed to HFS+ Partitions, you can easily make a new volume and instal a beta Mojave there on your main computer and have fun.  Option held at start to chose which.  The big caveat is under no circumstances set Photos to use the same Library with it set to System Library from Mohave's Photos, it's a one way upgrade.  That said it works fine if you select Optimize.  

The great thing as I am sure you know, the new volume (which you do not allocate any pre determined size for if you have a brain)  takes zero space and dynamically grows and shrinks as required so even on a small 256 GB SSD many MBPs have you can usually play with this beta.  These new volumes are almost instant to create and delete.

I switched from Google to Bing, mainly for more relevant search results and less page clutter. 

I just might change too that or DuckDuckGo.  Google seem to be accepting some weird links to promote without checking them out.  In the last few weeks I have twice searched and out of laziness selected the top result in Google and both times Safari went apeshit downloading innumerable zero sized files like a cascading waterfall.  Luckily force quite and a restart of safari holding shift cleared this.

Realtors went over to using an iPhone app for lock boxes years ago, why not car ignitions?  Better yet Watch just like accessing a Mac.

I have never found a need or use for the TV app on my TV 4K till yesterday when I discovered I was able to set it up to watch all the World Cup Football games within the app.  Love it, no need to change HDMI inputs and suffer the horrendous cable TV interface to access Fox and Fox Sports for the all games, it 'just works' in the TV app..
