  • How to take a screenshot on a Mac - the comprehensive guide

    thefferon said:
    I've seen ump-teen articles on taking screenshots in MacOS, and I have been able to accomplish what I need to for a while. What I haven't seen – maybe because there may be no native support for it – is how to take shots of entire webpages in Safari. I wish someone would give that issue some love, since it comes up a lot more often, for me anyway, than the regular screenshot functionality.
    The Develop menu in Safari lets you do it:

    Develop -> Web Inspector -> right click on the element you want (or whole page) and select "Capture Screenshot"

  • Goldman Sachs spends $350 for every Apple Card signup

    sandorsandor
    The analyst a simply speculating. The story about "sub-prime" is also speculation.

    Here's mine: We'll hear from Tim Cook in 10 weeks, when he'll confirm that the card has taken off like a rocket; like no other card, ever.

    Let us see in 10 weeks. Here is the competition:

    targeting subprime accounts is smart too - more likely to carry a balance that will be affected by interest rtes = profit 
    It is like the Goldman of the Great Recession/Sub-prime mortgage crisis....

  • Apple Watch vs Fitbit Versa: which fitness tracker watch is right for you?

    sandorsandor
    My Garmin watch is still the best all-around i have had.
    Seamlessly connects to the cadence and speed sensors on my bike, my chest HR monitor when i use it, long battery life - measured in days not hours, and great customer support.

    12-15 times a week i will go from walking to running to rowing to bicycle, and the Garmin & its support of BT and ANT just makes it simple. And the battery life allows nightly heart rate monitoring without issue.


    Though i still greatly miss my Basis Peak :( 
    ...Intel's full price buyback after the "burn danger" allowed me to buy the Garmin Vivoactiv HR with no additional cash outlay...

  • Intel intros 'Ice Lake' 10th-generation Core processors, possibly for MacBook rebirth

    Apple will probably do a MacBook Air and Pro refresh with these, but MacBook rebirth will be the first ARM / Axx Mac

    If they can pull that off. Intel is really struggling to keep up with Apples demands in Macs. Bet you that. Intel are the bottleneck.

    Would love to see Intels CEOs "Apple was not an important customer" speech after Apple drops them. lol

    Apple is still a distant, distant 3rd in sales volume.

    We deal with PHI data that can't go on AWS or any outside servers. Some of our machines are 768GB RAM, the previous workstation limit, as virtualized instances as mentioned will take a heck of a lot of memory relative to their need for CPU. That bit seems to be throwing off a lot of people online who can't imagine needing 1.5TB in a single workstation. We were already maxing out older platforms. 
    AWS is HIPPA compliant and will sign a BAA.  There’s no reason you can’t put PHI in the Amazon Cloud. You’re incorrectly limiting your organization’s IT options if you aren’t evaluating cloud options.  There may be other reasons not to use AWS, but HIPPA and PHI is not one of them. 

    This is completely correct. The BAA is the thing that makes something "HIPAA compliant" - all modern encryption meets HIPAA requirements.

    We've been using AWS for EMR/EPM for years, with a BAA in place.
    Our PACS remains in-house, as the cost of 100 TB on AWS is monumental, and then we get to have a smaller pipe on our WAN (our PACS serves up 100s of GBs of data every day)
    Cloud options abound for HIPPA-constrained organizations. Google Cloud for example is also HIPPA-compliant and Google will sign a BAA as well. Last I knew Apple Cloud was not tho, and they will not sign a BAA. If that's changed someone please chime in.

    In any event off-site cloud storage does not need to be a hindrance for compliance.

    We've been half-heartedly trying to get Apple to sign one for almost the past decade.
    When they opened their store in Philly, we opened a "business" account & they were determined to make something happen, and over the years as macOS Server has changed, and iCloud matured, they tried again and again to push it up the chain, it never worked.

    Apple obviously does if it is something they care about (see AppleWatch research) until they build tumor detection into their phones, i think we are off their radar.
