grawk Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 well, and he runs a 24x7 bit torrent site 1 Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 Yeah, but I don't, and I'm pretty sure they've done the same thing to me. Â (I get weird network problems on several of my machines, and the symptoms sound familiar.) Â Heck, I don't even have a bit-torrent client. Â They few times I've used it, I've immediately uninstalled it afterwards. Quote
crappyjones123 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Still making incorrect assumptions, Dan.  Even though I was no where close to the old 250gb limit (used up 132gb in the last 30 days), constantly streaming lectures which aren't even in HD seemed to set them off. I don't see any other reason as the hackintosh sees no torrent data. None of the other computers do either since there isn't any.  Wish I had time to watch stuff that would need to be torrented =/ The seedbox was an unnecessary expense and was gotten rid of a long time ago.

HeadphoneAddict Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 My son's 2012 15" Retina Macbook Pro developed the GPU Panic issue and is being totally refurbished by Apple under the 3 yr Apple Care warranty, but they would have fixed the GPU issue with just a new logic board even wthout the extended warranty.  I didn't know the issue affected our rMBP until after I'd backed it up two 2 disks and restored OS X six times over a 24 hour period, and it kept crashing.  A light bulb went off that said "hardware" and I made a genius appointment.

luvdunhill Posted May 11, 2015 Report Posted May 11, 2015 What do people think of Photos? I am crossing my fingers that the thing converts, been a multi hour process so far. Quote
blessingx Posted May 11, 2015 Report Posted May 11, 2015 I'm a fan, but never used iPhoto much. You do kinda have to surrender control to its organization, especially as photo edits are syndicated across devices. Quote
luvdunhill Posted May 11, 2015 Report Posted May 11, 2015 I used to have a method to auto import from a folder housed within the iPhoto app image. This doesn't work with Photos. Any recommendation on a workflow? I am wirelessly uploading photos from my camera and would like Photos to pick them up and process them. Quote
shellylh Posted May 25, 2015 Report Posted May 25, 2015 This is why I am leery of a Time Warner/Comcast merger: Â I use a lot of data, and Time Warner doesn't give a shit. Â http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/26/business/dealbook/charter-time-warner-cable-deal.html?_r=0 Quote
TMoney Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 Should be an interesting WWDC this morning. I'll have it streaming to my phone. Â I'm worried that any Apple streaming music service will be dead on arrival. I have no idea what advantages they could really have over their competitors other than competing on price. Also, I can't really say that there is a big customer base interested in streaming music whose needs aren't being met. I'll be interested to see what Tim Cook and co. have to say. Quote
crappyjones123 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 Nothing really mind blowing so far... Quote
crappyjones123 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 Multitasking did look pretty cool. Wonder what it will be like on the iPhone. Quote
TMoney Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 The watchOS updates look terrific as well. Quote

Voltron Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 I finally got tired of all the upgrade to Yosemite messages and stupidly upgraded my Macbook Air the other day. Â The battery life is now ridiculous after having been great for years. Â I unplugged this morning and it went from 99% to 18% in an hour. Â I am sure there is information out there on why this is so fucked up, but do you guys know how to turn shit off or change settings so that I can use my laptop as it is intended to be used? Quote
crappyjones123 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) How old is your air, Al? I don't get anywhere near the 9 hours but I get about 3 - 3.5 hours on a full charge. Mine is 2 generations old. Edited June 12, 2015 by crappyjones123 Quote
Voltron Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Mid-2011 model according to "about this mac." Â I would say I got much more than 3.5 hours in the past but I just didn't have to think about it much. Â I posted what happened this morning and the other night watching hockey I had the computer open and sitting there and the next time I looked it was drained and shut down. Â Quote
blessingx Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 When Yosemite was released there were many reports of third-party "non-Yosemite optimized" apps killing battery. Any older apps you were running during the drain? Anything unusual showing under CPU usage? Quote
Voltron Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Not much was running and the only non-Apple App was Chrome. Â How do I check CPU usage? Â Quote
blessingx Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Try Activity Monitor Al. It could be Chrome and its shitty (possibly multiple) Flash/Shockwave plugins. Edited June 12, 2015 by blessingx Quote
aardvark baguette Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 Raid 60 makes the most sense for this, right? Â http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1082744-REG/g_technology_0g03769_64tb_8_x_8tb.html 1 Quote
