What's New? macOS Big Sur Beta 10 is Out!

Hi everyone,

Apple released mac os big serve beta 10. this is available to developers and came in around three and a half gigabytes depending on the device you’re using in this case 3.82 gigabytes now I’m using this on a 2019 mac pro and here is the build number so you can see which version you’re on this build number is 20a5395g if you have that build number you’ll know that it’s actually the same version as this now many of you have been asking me why haven’t I been making videos about mac os big sur and that’s because there hasn’t been any physical significant changes that you’ve been able to see for a while so there are a couple in this particular update and the first one is a little bit of a change

in the way it works when you use a MacBook and you want to lock the MacBook so if you press the power button it will immediately lock the display now for me on some MacBook’s I recall this seems to be a normal feature with mac os Catalina but for others they’re saying that they’re seeing.

this as new let me know what yours is doing in the comments below now in the menu bar there’s a new feature which is actually an option but now it’s turned on by default and that’s now playing so up here in the upper right you have now playing if you have music open for example or maybe you have media from YouTube open it will show them in here so you can see them you can see the status of the song for example while its playing and you’ll be able to see how long it’s got left or when it ends so that’s a nice little feature you can turn that off in system preferences though if you’d like to now another new feature has to do with airpods or a connected audio device so if I connect my airpods pro to my mac it will take just a moment to do that well give it a second here and well go to the Bluetooth settings here and well connect airpods pro.

What's New? macOS Big Sur Beta 10 is Out!

It takes just a moment and you can see they immediately show up in the top right so now they’re showing up by themselves you can click on them the icon is now just the air pods as opposed to just a little audio symbol like we have here so as long as you’re using air pods or something that’s supported maybe beats they’ll show up like this now the next change has to do with the wallpaper you may be able to see one of the new ones here if we go into system preferences and then we go to desktop and screen saver you can see we have big sur Ariel and they’ve changed the way this looks a little bit so we have dynamic desktop here with big sur this is the standard wallpaper and then we have of course Catalina and Mojave and solar gradients and then light and dark desktop there’s a couple different ones as well and if we go through some of the wallpapers there’s some of the ones that have been there before but a lot of really nice wallpapers big sur shore rocks.

Let me move this out of the way big sur shore rocks so there’s a bunch of new ones some people are saying they’re seeing more than others but big sur road we’ve got big sur night succulents big sur night grass and then back to Catalina so there’s some nice new ones in here and a nicely redesigned wallpaper picker so I think I’ll switch over to big sur Ariel kind of like that one and let’s talk about a couple other things now there’s not a lot of other visual changes but some people are reporting that 4k youtube is not working on safari and it seems to work fine for me so here’s my ios 14.1 gm is out video and if we go to the quality you can see that I have 4k as an option so it’s still there I don’t have anything special turned on and it’s there so it should be there for you its working fine for me let me know if it’s working okay for you in the comments below.

Now there’s a couple things that they’ve fixed one thing I’ve noticed is I use final cut pro a lot to edit videos and final cut pro was having an issue when importing footage you’d place a new memory card in and it would show up once you open final cut pro but if you swapped that memory card it wouldn’t show up again and also some of the footage wouldn’t fully import that’s now fixed and it’s working properly so all of that footage import issue seems to be resolved also photos is still randomly crashing on me and I can’t drag and drop the photo to the desktop it’s just not working properly so if I go into photos and you can see this was the be right back for the apple store if I drag that to the desktop you’ll see it just sort of disappears it doesn’t work properly for some reason and then photos will sometimes crash on me now they have said that.

They’ve fixed some issues in this particular update so one of them that they’ve fixed has to do with notes and photos no longer quitting unexpectedly if the system language is set to Greek I have it crashed regardless of the system language so they say its fixed of course you need to report those in feedback when you have issues and then also they have 25 known issues that are still in this particular update so it’s not really advised to install if you have critical work to do so installing can take significantly longer than expected and that’s what I experienced when I installed this it took almost two hours to install on a mac pro after downloading it so it took an incredibly long time also installing from beta 2 to beta 10 could have a huge download size there are some workarounds for that now if you’re using parallels desktop 16 you could have a kernel panic which would completely lock up the mac and you’d have to restart it so those are known issues.

however they’ve resolved 11 issues as well one of them is photos not quitting when set to Greek like I said and then that final cut issue and some other things as well have been resolved so it seems like it’s a fairly solid update to beta9 well still have to use it for a few days I’m using it full time to edit all of my videos on its been a pain with beta 9 beta 10 seems much better but I still would not install this if you have critical work to do I just wait until maybe even the second version of mac os big sur is out and most people that do critical work know that for example my app Piezo many audio apps just won’t work so you’ll need to have an alternative to that maybe garage band or something else so there’s still some issues with this update applications will need to be updated for it and hopefully we’ll see the final version.

Maybe within a couple weeks I’m not sure maybe with a mac the apple releases later this year in November so well have to wait and see if you’d like to get your hands on this

The AdLib Gold Experience

Greetings folks, and today on LGR I am proud to present the fabled AdLib Gold 1000 Stereo Sound Adapter. An IBM PC-compatible sound card which, after multiple delays, launched at a suggested price of $299 in the US sometime in late 1992. More or less, its release is a bit complicated but we’ll get to that. For now lemme just go ahead and say how much I’m freak in’ out with excitement recording this footage. Cuz dude, seeing an AdLib Gold in person, still in the box, unused? Among retro PC enthusiasts, that’s like finding a golden unicorn that craps diamonds, it’s just not a thing. Yet here it is, looking’ spiffy! And it’s all thanks to Trixter, aka Jim Leonard of The Old-school PC, Check out his YouTube channel if you’re into this kind of thing too, the man’s a fountain of knowledge and some of the items in his collection are literally one of a kind. Not the least of which being this pristine AdLib Gold 1000, a card that I’ve been wondering about ever since I was eight years old lookin...

Apple Keyboard Evolution 1983-2015

I don’t have a Lisa Keyboard, and they’re quite rare and expensive. But here’s what it looked like, it was quite large and clunky. Although not really any wider than a modern Apple keyboard . So, this is the original Macintosh keyboard. It’s kind of tall, and notice that it has no arrow keys, no function keys and no number pad. Apparently, Steve Jobs believed that everybody would use the mouse for everything, except typing. It uses an RJ-11 type connector, similar to a phone cord. The mouse actually had its own separate connector, and did not connect to the keyboard at all. This is about as basic as it gets. I can plug my telephone into it, for some reason. So, one thing I noticed about this is that there are no indicators on where to put your fingers. I’ve never heard a keyboard echo before. It’s not real springy or anything. It does have… …metallic kind of noise to it. But, DAVID: This is the Apple Desktop Bus keyboard. As the name suggests, this was the first keyboard to use the new...

IBM 8516 Touchscreen CRT Monitor

Greetings and welcome to LGR Oddware where were taking a look at hardware and software that is odd, forgotten, and obsolete! And today it is the IBM 8516 CRT touchscreen from the beginning of the 1990s. And yeah you can touch and draw and do all kinds of things that you would normally do with a mouse or light pen or whatever else -- just with your fingers! And so let’s see what this thing is and what it can do. All right so this is the IBM PS/2 Model 8516 13-inch CRT touchscreen monitor first introduced in June of 1991 for a suggested retail price of $1695 US dollars, holy crap. That would be almost $3,100 at the time of this recording, not a cheap price for a 13-inch VGA monitor back then. It was built by IBM to be compatible with PCs running DOS, Windows 3 -- and IBM OS/2 of course, because they were still pushing it rather hard when this came out. And as advanced and awesome as it was for its time it was not the first of its kind as far as touchscreen CRTs, not by a long shot....

The best gaming laptop for MS-DOS games

The other day, I used to be reading this old Computes Gazette magazine from 1983. and that I saw this card you'll send off for more information. happen if I filled it out and sent it off? Well, stick around till the top and I'll show you the result. Most of the time, stepping into Retro Gaming are often quite challenge. Even the old Atari 2600 her, for instance, it are often very challenging to seek out a contemporary TV or monitor that you simply. On the brilliant side, the games are pretty easy to affect. All you've got to try to to is locate them online, or thrift shop, or whatever and you purchase the sport, and you recognize, But, things get even harder once you start watching old computers. For instance, the Commodore 64 uses a disk format that's essentially foreign today. It's no means to attach to the web, and albeit you've got a pile of blank disks, getting the games copied over to them from the web could be a nightmare. Now, if you fast forward just a...

Strangest Computer Designs of the '80s

OMG Mr. LGR!!! You made my day showing the Seiko computer watch series. I collect these things and Have almost the entire lineup up including the weird UC-2200. The only one I'm missing is the "wrist mac" which was essentially a Seiko RC4400 but marketed and sold for Apple. It could be considered the first apple watch! That design for the Elwro-800 actually seems pretty good and I wish I had it for the C64 back in the day. That wire holder could have been used for holding a computer magazine with a user made program which they always had in the magazines back in the day. Even now it would be good for data input from a written copy, or even writers who like to get their pre-writing done on paper. They were the machines we were taught Turing language on -- and compiling even a tiny Turing program on them was unbelievably slow. I really liked the GUI on them though, but we never really used the GUI much; all the programming we did was in a text file run through a compiler ...

Fast roaming OpenWrt Wi-Fi Access points

Before we start let me do a test. I have my phone here which measures my Wi-Fi speed and another phone which I use as a camera in the other hand. I start on the 2nd floor where I have an access point. As you can see speed is quite OK. It won’t go much higher because I capped it. I’ll explain in a second. Let me start moving towards the staircase to the 1st floor. As I do that you can see that the speed goes down while I walk down the stairs until it starts moving back up because I picked up the signal from the 2nd access point here on the first floor. Let me keep moving down to the basement. It’s all concrete here so Wi-Fi gets weakened a lot. But it doesn’t take long until I get closer to the 3rd access point here in the basement and speed picks up. Walking back upstairs - same scenario. How do I do that so seamlessly without interruption of signal ? Is it a Mes...

The Advantech I.Q. Unlimited with BASIC and a Z80 CPU.

Hello, and welcome back to the 8-Bit Guy. In this episode, I want to show you this bizarre little computer known as the IQ Unlimited by Advantech. Now, you might be wondering “What is this company Advantech?” Well, if you turn the computer over you’ll see it was actually produced by Video Technology Electronics, otherwise known as V-Tech.” Yes, that’s the same V-Tech that has produced tons of cordless telephones, kids learning computers, baby monitors, and a variety of other things. They are also the ones that built the Laser 128, which was an Apple II clone, along with the matching Laser XT which was a PC clone. They also produced the laser line of portable computers, and even a series of proprietary desktop computers that carried the laser brand name. So, needless to say V-Tech is no stranger to making computers. But, I think this may be the strangest one they ever made. The front of the box claims it to be complete, powerful, simple, and affordable. They are also those that built th...

Words of Krom Ngoy

Words of Kram Ngoy This Brahma song is translated to tell Khmer men and women To be mindful should be diligent. Do not be lazy, do not be too stupid, try to learn numbers, learn the alphabet Learn all the virtues, supernatural wisdom combined with ideas. Born to see through, even from afar Really good at thinking about everything. Fools do not wake up like blind people on both sides There is no image of a cheap sinner born ignorant. The human race, though high and low, descended from the Pao clan. Evil, good, black and white, cut off descendants like ancestors. Ignorant people are not venerated as a religion The monks know the Dharma, the students study hard. The ignorant breed is not very wise, the crooked breed is not very gentle Straight seed until the true seed does not disappear. Innoc...

Will Kill Your Computer

Hey guys, this is Austin, and this is the USB Killer. Now, it might not look like much, however this will straight up kill your computer. So, this is a device that’s used to test hardware, so while it looks like an ordinary USB device, instead, there’s a series of capacitors inside. So, if you plug it into a computer, it will charge those capacitors up, and once they’re full it turns around and releases all of that power at 240 volts straight back into the computer, in theory killing it. It doesn’t take much to be able to pop this thing open. Now, before we proceed: Do not try this at home. Seriously. Not only is it very possible for this thing to kill electronics, but it’s also. And by being careful, I mean don’t try this at home. We have an Asus Chrome book. Now, USB Killer claims that this is going to work on around 95 percent of computers, and the reason for that is that while some computers have properly capped USB ports, most have completely unprotected ports, which means th...
