    You haven't touched the right thing, or been a target in any way shape or form then. Congrats, you've been invisible for the most part.

    I know... I was pulling my hair out for hours until I realized I'm not running anything Microsoft.
    Shew, what a relief!

  5. Re:Gmail, the worst interface EVER on Google is Killing Its 4-Yr-Old Inbox Email App (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Oddly, you're one of the few that has that problem. It's email, not a database, it's not complex.
    Btw, it does indent messages in a thread, I just checked to verify in my google mail. At least the web interface, since I don't use the app.

    I stream, and click on the download button when I want a local copy of the song in MP3 format.

    I so agree... you'd think everyone started using websites when facebook came out or something.... yeesh.
    Next thing will be stories about someone complaining about instructions saying to ctrl-click instead of right-click...

  10. eh, whatever on Facebook Will Harass You Mercilessly If You Try To Break Up (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    Eh, whatever. I use facebook to talk to friends around the country and share daily stuff, and people who own fieros as well. (for info sharing, parts sale/trade/etc)

    There was a time I was away for 1-2 years, got emails like explained and just sent the first one or two to the spam folder. After that, no more issues.
    This wasn't the first website I've had this issue with... are people new?

    right.. it's called vm_stat, and sar was removed from MacOS since sierra but there's still the official Apple repository for sar:
    https://opensource.apple.com/s...
    Download sar.c, sar.h and also sadc.h and sadc.c from a sibling folder.

    Compile and test:

    clang sar.c -o sar -I .
    clang sadc.c -o sadc -I . -framework Foundation -framework IOKit ./sar -A -f test > testout
    terminated by signal SIGFPE (Floating point exception)

    And output, testout looks like this:

    17:32:23 %usr %nice %sys %idle

    17:32:23 pgout/s

    17:32:23 pgin/s pflt/s vflt/s

    17:32:23 device r+w/s blks/s

    17:32:23 pgin/s pflt/s vflt/s
    17:32:23 nan nan inf

    So it compiles, data can be collected and kindof processed, but not fully.

    I've found the Apple repository of SAR thanks to this superuser answer: https://superuser.com/a/581128

  13. Re:Apple is the Sharper Image of computer hardware on On The Sad State of Macintosh Hardware (rogueamoeba.com) · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't consider what you said true since "geek cred" hardly means upgrading video cards.

    The days of Windows and DOS having all the software has gone on the wayside for yearly a decade or longer. I run nearly all OSes side by side on MacOS anyway, it's not like there's any problem there, either.

  16. Re:for now not good on Wells Fargo Bans Cryptocurrency Purchases On Its Credit Cards (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    This is true, and a key thing for people to remember.
    A credit card is borrowing money from someone else, and paying them at a later time with a touch extra as interest.
    It's nothing more, and it's a privilege.

  17. weak... on Fedora-Based Linux Distro Korora Halts Development (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    The fact that it's so isolated to each task being done by one person only makes it a weak candidate for any Linux distribution.
    At that point, it's only a matter of time before one piece of it's weak foundation breaks and it comes tumbling down.
    Not to mention.. I've never heard of it.
