Re: ... in iOS 13....

The only thing what I don't like about the update policy of Apple is you cannot 
use new apps from the Store if you cannot update to a new iOS version without 
buying new hardware from Apple (esp. iPad's).
And yes, the costs of the same specs of Apple hardware compared to PC hardware 
are still 2 or 3 times more BUT the advantage is that you can run iOS and 
Windows natively on the same machine. Since the introduction of Apple's  T2 
Security Chip it isn't possible to boot Linux on new Apple hardware like the 
2018 MacBook Pro and Mac Mini anymore as far as I know.
Furthermore, because of bad experiences upgrading macOS's in the past, I don't 
upgrade to a the newest macOS version if there is no need for. It has saved me 
a lot of frustrations...
But I am not an advocate, I both like to work on Apple (macOS) and PC 
(Windows/Linux) machines.

A lot of people i see who have an Macbook or iOs device, is because they

I also understand that they want to close 32bit and move on, except many

If people want it it's ok, but i see a lot of hassle that i choose not

Yes, I think you are right. I just dive into it after a long time but that 
seems indeed the problem. As you know, running macOS from Hackintosh’s, 
Security Boot must be disabled so as SIP (because of patching during boot). I 
have not test yet to install Linux on my MacBook Pro though.

 

 OT: An interesting thread about running Catalina on older Mac’s can be found 
here: https://macandegg.com/2019/07/macos-catalina-patcher-10-15-on-old-macs/ 
incase people want to install it on Mac ‘s before mid 2012.

It seems that when Secure Boot and SIP is disabled, then using Refind 
https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/index.html as bootloader you can get Linux 
working too.

I saw some discussions about the T2 and issues when powering off, unplug power 
cable seems to trigger something.

2019-10-20 Thread prothero--- via use-livecode
Folks:
I have a bit of a worry about the Apple Catalina update. I want to keep a 
bootable copy of the latest Mojave OS on an external disc. That way I can run 
any older 32 bit programs I might need. However, I have a backup program 
(Tri-Backup) that says it can’t make a bootable drive because of Apple 
security. That has raised a bit of a red flag to me. 

Currently, I use SuperDuper to make a bootable backup. SuperDuper isn’t updated 
for Catalina yet, it seems.

What my worry is, is that perhaps Catalina’s new security settings won’t allow 
booting from an external drive. That would completely eliminate my option of 
having a 32 bit OS option for running older 32 bit software.

Anybody have any info relevant to this issue? Or perhaps I’m just being 
paranoid (totally justifiably).
Best,
Bill

Bill: A few us at the monastery run 32bit applications that have announced EOL 
due to Catalina… as are many programs: the market share does not warrant ROI 
for developing 64bit… (including my old favorite DragThing ☹)

Our tech team (supersavvy network/server admins) have set up Parallels for one 
of us, and they say he will be able to run a 32bit astrology application 
"forever" .

What my worry is, is that perhaps Catalina’s new security settings won’t allow 
booting from an external drive. That would completely eliminate my option of 
having a 32 bit OS option for running older 32 bit software.

Forget to mention: when you start with this kind of procedures I always boot in 
Recovery Mode and make a full image via Disk Utility to an external disk!!!
I have used in the past also Carbo Copy Cloner but an image contains also your 
EFI and firmware setting. Never had any problems restoring an image.

My two cents.

Microsoft Windows owns the desktop.  There, both macOS and Linux are

Yeah, I understand. Beyond the desktop and behind the scenes it's definitely 
Linux playing the piano.
I was joking about .NET... ;)

And when I look at my kept ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and an ATARI XL and the 
way I programmed my sprites etc. compared to the modern tools I am using 
nowadays, I am still surprised everyday how fast it's going... and how fast you 
get old :)

Player object in iOS 13....

2019-10-19 Thread Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode
Can any one confirm: 

 the iOS mobileAudioPlayer controller is broken with the iOS 13 update

put pRect into sPlayerRect
mobileControlSet pPlayerName, "visible", true 
mobileControlSet pPlayerName, "rect", pRect
mobileControlSet pPlayerName, "showController", true 
mobileControlSet pPlayerName, "filename", pURL 
if pURL begins with "https" then
showBusyIndicator true, "Loading audio..." -- add loading indicator until 
duration is available
end if

Alternatives?

That’s an unfair statement, especially based on topic. It is quite likely it is 
only a tiny update for Monte to fix. My experience says that ALL OS 
systems/devices break bar none unless they don’t update at all and stay 
stagnant. So which system do you prefer JJS? And remember only to mention one 
that is completely infallible and never likely to break. Id especially love to 
know a device name that is completely 100% future proof I can pitch to my 
customers. As yet, the ‘most’ reliable I have found from a whole heap of 
testing and long term experience are iPad Pro and Macs. Even my ipad2 is 
shockingly more reliable than any of my top end Samsung tabs (unless I strip 
them right down and use custom OS). 

To confirm, I’m not offended or upset. I just think the comment was unfair and 
exaggerated. They break for sure, but not to the extent to ‘refuse’ it. Roids 
way of avoiding breaking is to only offer minor device OS updates and expect 
you to bin old devices after a couple of years (apposed to the 6-8years for 
Apple). 

Peace.

What's unfair about it. Don't be offended.

It's not against you or LC, it's not even entirely against Apple, they 
have also good things. It's just an opinion.


I believe there are more discussions about Apple issues on this list 
than i see about Windows or Linux or Android.


And for all 3 OS i also believe they are better backwards compatible. 
(for Android i'm not talking about the sauce samsung and thelike pour 
over it)


A lot of people i see who have an Macbook or iOs device, is because they 
want to show off that they can afford it, not of the reason that it 
would be better or easier.


I also understand that they want to close 32bit and move on, except many 
customer are not ready. But slowly moving on.


If people want it it's ok, but i see a lot of hassle that i choose not 
to go for.

I can confirm that it does not work in the release version of the app either.  
I checked 13.1.2 and 13.1.3 but not the earlier versions of 13.

One potential alternative would be a browser widget.
