You can do basic operations in a macOS Open/Save dialog (some options are buried under a right-click).

I guess I think it is intuitive because I felt like it aligns with how other things in macOS behave. I'm not sitting at one of our CentOS boxes right now but I think you can do something very similar by dragging a folder to a terminal window and it populates the path for you. It drive me nuts that I can't do that on a basic Windows command prompt...

Definitely agree, it would be great if the window I was looking at had focus!

Youâ(TM)re missing the intuitive part of macOS. If youâ(TM)re already keeping multiple explorer/finder windows open, just drag the folder you want to save the file in to the open/save window. It takes you to that location immediately, unlike Windows, which happily moves your files/folders to the location in your open/save window or some something else stupid like that.

You need to remember though that the 30% cut on the more expensive services also helps cover the fact that a significant portion of the apps and services available on the App Store are free.

Remind me what cut Apple is getting for all of the Google apps, Facebook, Twitter, or that random app you love that some friend of yours made and posted.

Their rates are set as they are because it is consistent and applies to everyone, whether you are Netfix or your neighbor down the street. Level playing field for all.

Apple knew they needed to upgrade their laptop processors and there was no viable PPC option to get them to G5. IBM also wasnâ(TM)t focusing on a next gen upgrade for the G5. They promoted the G5 as the supercomputer processor, and it was. The pro desktop machines were consistently faster but laptops were where the market was going. You canâ(TM)t lose the largest part of the market and continue to be successful. It was a switch to something with a path forward, or stagnate choice. Not really all that different than their options now with Intel. The roadmap isnâ(TM)t impressive (and isnâ(TM)t being met). Apple has the ability to design custom processors for any product they want to release and not have to beg Intel to make something new like they did with the original Air and tried to do with the iPhone (and Intel said no).

We’re also taking some additional steps in most places. Face coverings will be required for all of our teams and customers, and we will provide them to customers who don’t bring their own. Temperature checks will be conducted at the door, and posted health questions will screen for those with symptoms — like cough or fever — or who have had recent exposure to someone infected with COVID19. Throughout the day, we’re conducting enhanced deep cleanings that place special emphasis on all surfaces, display products, and highly trafficked areas.

I was interested, I've used Vudu's disc-to-digital service with Movies Anywhere to provide digital copies of movies I already had that can be used with any of the services. I wish more services offered the ability.

And yes, I absolutely know I can rip the movies, but then I have to have them stored on my device or somewhere accessible to the cloud to be able to watch them whenever and wherever I want. Being able to randomly access them through any number of services to stream is pretty handy...

"It’s also worth keeping in mind that most Android devices top out at two major updates, with some not even receiving that."

Meanwhile, every iPhone since the 6s released in 2015 can be upgraded to the absolute latest OS release from Apple. And every single one of them can upgrade on the day an OS update is released.
