anyway to figure out why it's happening?

the error report is gibberish to me

cozen, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 15:51 (ten years ago) link

weird kernel extension, maybe? do you have any third-party mouse drivers or anything of that nature?

is there a way to tell when your mac has stopped 'optimizing' after install?

乒乓, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 16:03 (ten years ago) link

bettertouchtool maybe? will have a look

is there a way to tell when your mac has stopped 'optimizing' after install?

click the spotlight icon on your toolbar and it should have a progress bar if it's still indexing

take note of the time when your computer restarts, then open the Console application in Applications > Utilities then look for suspect messages in there right before the restart and google them

diamonddave85, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 16:13 (ten years ago) link

not sure, but I can tell you that your mom is still optimizing after install

lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 16:21 (ten years ago) link

yeah it makes a ton of sense, prevents fragmentation, everybody is happy to get revamped faster running longer life macbooks for free

乒乓, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 16:24 (ten years ago) link

default "waves" wallpaper sucks btw, i don't know what some ppl were smoking

Nhex, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 16:25 (ten years ago) link

like, with msft a subscription-model 'makes sense' because that is probably literally their only source of reliable revenue, they've even moved to a literal subscription model for office instead of tricking companies into thinking they're adding value by releasing a 'new' version of office every few years

apple makes money via huge hardware sales and the app store sales that come w/ it, i doubt that lion or ML sales accounted for even 5% of their revenue in the years they were released

乒乓, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 16:26 (ten years ago) link

kinda mad though that i paid $60 for literal shit pieces of trash in L and ML, could have just waited it out til MAVERIX

乒乓, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 16:28 (ten years ago) link

i dont think i ever paid of any of them because i am an outlaw

lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 16:32 (ten years ago) link

i remember when i bought Tiger for like $80 or something absurd and people would ask me for the DVD because apple never bothered with anything as barbaric as a 'product key'

乒乓, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 16:33 (ten years ago) link

I doubt even comes close to 1% of sales tbh.

stet, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 16:34 (ten years ago) link

def a rounding error

lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 16:35 (ten years ago) link

actually causes apple to lose money

乒乓, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 16:35 (ten years ago) link

I don't understand the desktop wallpapers thing. I have a Mac that started with 10.7 and offers Aqua wallpapers from the tiger days, while another Mac that started with 10.6 only offers one folder. Something weird afoot.

stet, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 16:36 (ten years ago) link

i just use cool pictures for my wallpaper, right now i have one of a praying mantis

乒乓, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 18:54 (ten years ago) link

its 51" im not sure what 240hz, its def not state of the art super high end, its the one here that the wirecutter recommends as the best $500 tv http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-500-tv

lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 18:56 (ten years ago) link

sick

samsung tvs are great

240hz is a gimmick, don't worry about it

乒乓, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 18:59 (ten years ago) link

ok phew

lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 19:01 (ten years ago) link

is it 4K

cozen, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 19:01 (ten years ago) link

This set isn’t 1080p. No big deal. (Plus, who actually needs 1080p?)

The PN51F4500 has a resolution of 1,024 x 768. Yes, that is HD. And yes, that is also 16×9 (the pixels are more rectangular). The question that matters: can you see individual pixels from a normal seating distance? While reviewing the Samsung, I sat roughly 8 feet away. I have 20/15 vision, and I couldn’t see pixels. I could see, along some diagonal white lettering, some jagged steps. I doubt most people would notice this unless they were looking for it. From about 6½ feet away, I started to see some noise, and I could just make out the pixel structure in bright images. If you’re sitting this close to your TV, I recommend checking out one of our step-up 1080p options mentioned at the end.

Check your seating distance. For most people, it’s around 9-10 feet. If this is the case, you’d be hard pressed to notice the difference between this and a 1080p TV of the same size. Not once did the image look “soft” to me, and I’ve been watching/reviewing 1080p displays of all sizes since their first availability. The PN51F4500 looked more detailed than the TC-P50X60, possibly due to better processing, which leads us to…

it's not 1080p? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

乒乓, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 19:04 (ten years ago) link

(Plus, who actually needs 1080p?)
