If you're interested in #DolbyAudio upgrades of your favorite music(whether #Atmos or any of its other multichannel formats) these are probably two useful resources to track what’s available and/or what gets added:

With the addition of #HDMI #passthrough in #macOS15 I’m finding renewed use for my surround receiver that started gathering dust in recent years. A sample recent submission was RTJ3: https://music.apple.com/us/album/run-the-jewels-3/1598920855 A classic that got an Atmos upgrade a few years ago (yes audiophiles, you can choose your preferred mix) is Kind of Blue: https://music.apple.com/us/album/kind-of-blue/268443092

Anyway it's interesting to compare traditional stereo and surround mixes. What other surround mixes are worth checking out?

na, dann laden wir mal #macOS14 #Sonoma - was soll da schon schief gehen (nein, #macOS15 ist mir noch zu neu, das dürfen andere gerne weiter testen )

Es war mal wieder eine Woche voller Meldungen aus #Cupertino. #KingCharles hat das Hauptquartier in Großbritannien besucht und wurde dort von #TimCook empfangen. Besser hätte das Jahr doch gar nicht zu Ende gehen können, oder was meint ihr? Natürlich gab es noch bedeutend wichtigere Nachrichten: Mit dem neuen #iOS18.2 und #macOS15.2 hat #Apple nämlich #AppleIntelligence weiter ausgebaut.

Das waren unsere Themen der Woche: https://www.appgefahren.de/?p=370922

A question for the Apple Mac geek nerd typoholic contingent…

Since I got my new Mac, running MacOS Sequoia, some of the older parts of my PostScript typeface collection don't want to play any more.

Do you have any favourite font managers/converters to recommend?

I've found a single converter on the App Store, but with only a single 5-star rating I'm a bit wary.

Thanks!

Ok, been holding off upgrading to Sequoia and iOS 18, but I feel like it’s almost time to.

Should I do it now, or wait for the next dot releases?

Any major problem(s) you’ve experienced? Anything you would consider a blocker?

Linking an Apple Note to a reminder works, but there is a lot of friction.

That's funny, removing Messages from the Dock and adding it back fixed the unread badge issue.

I’ve long wished animated gifs would display as a blur hash with the file name, and now I want the same thing for prompted images.

It would be cool if Apple shipped such a feature OS wide for Image Playground images.

And no, #Apple, #macOS is really NOT "intelligent" anymore. ROTFL

This message in the buggy "System Settings" is wrong, and a lie.

Of course, "Apple Intelligence" is ONLY available when the global macOS language is set to English "US".

But you need a couple of reboots until it takes.

What a #BugFest. #Sequoia #macos15

Leider seit MacOS15 eher öfters. #macos15 #probleme

I just tried to update a repeating event in Calendar on macOS Sequoia, and now everything is borked. There is 100% new unexpected behavior there.

I made the mistake of installing #macOS 15 #Sequoia on my work machine last week. Now I'm plagued by network issues. Downloads are slow or abort, websites stop loading etc. It's really annoying! How did they not find this while testing? I hope #Apple releases a bugfix soon!

Looking at downloading MacOS 15 (Sequoia) - quite an upgrade from my MacOS 12 (Monterey). And boggling at just how many hours it would have taken to download the nearly 15GB update file on our home broadband before we upgraded to part fibre recently, and downloads increased tenfold ... #Broadband #ADSL #Fibre #PartFibre #Mac #MacOS #MacOS15 #MacOSSequoia #Sequoia #slowInternet #HomeInternet #HomeBroadband #slowBroadband

AirDrop funktioniert ja endlich mal gänzlich ohne Probleme. #Apple #AirDrop #iOS18 #macOS15

Der Bug findet betrifft auch den #Mac. Ich habe leider massive Probleme damit.

Seems like the firmware update and/or macOS 15 has really made my AirPods Pro 2 nearly useless with my M1 MBP… Audio sync and connection issues make them totally unreliable. They were almost flawless before!

UPDATE: Most of my audio sync issues seem to have been caused by SoundSource v5.7.0 and v5.7.1 has fixed them.

Still having issues with hand-off that are likely firmware or iOS 18 + macOS 15 caused.

LOL?! about #macos15 and the nag-screen-madness for apps capturing your screen … there is a … „solution“

Basically: set the timestamp of the app to the year 3025 or something

For anyone using #macos15 annoyed by the window tiling margins, there is a setting to turn that off under System Settings > Window Tiling > Tiled windows have margins.
