Re: Sierra 10.12.4
Things seem a bit "snappier" since this update.
I haven't applied it to my work machine yet. One of the new features scares me a bit as it might "break" the expected behaviour of some of our software products. I'm afraid to get distracted quite yet by that potential bugaboo.
What I am referring to is the new feature in Sierra to automatically adjust contrast and colours based on the level of light. Not sure if they do this using a simple clock and your geolocation, or if there is some sensor already built in to the computer that can feed into the OS's decisions.

Re: Sierra 10.12.4
Mike, thanks for the link. I watched the video, and it's harmless from our point of view.
As some of our software is used at live shows, and we need to not distract the audience with bright screens at the various mixing booths, we have our own "night shift" mode, but it isn't remotely subtle, whereas Apple's is designed to deal with light temperature more than contrast or alpha depth.

Re: Sierra 10.12.4
Out of necessity I had to upgrade from Yosemite 10.10.5 to Sierra 10.12.4 on my Mac Pro last night. Upgrading the O.S. always feels like scooping out my computer's brains and replacing them with new brains, but so far so good with this upgrade.
I don't need Siri or the Cricket scores, though.

I'll do this in June after school gets out—if I can't talk them out of it. I can't believe that someone really wants Siri on middle-school student computers. It can be disabled, of course.

Re: Sierra 10.12.4
Might break down this weekend and instal Sierra. I run an installed PCIe NVME M.2 SSD with a driver given away for free on MacRumors. There's a more reliable supposedly Terminal command that gets OSX Sierra only to recognize third party NVME M.2 SSDs but it only runs under Sierra.
So this whole process involves backing up the M.2- which holds my big sample libraries, and the OS entirely in case I need to roll back to El Capitan if the Terminal command somehow fails me.
To be fair it's an amazing hack, I'm getting 1495mbs out of the m.2, it's worth it, but it's frightening, although at this time Sierra is mature and offers some things that would be useful.

Re: Sierra 10.12.4
If one looks at the Security panel, you may find that Allow Apps from Anywhere is gone.
In my case, it didn't disappear till 10.12.4; according to this article, it was changed from the beginning. No matter—it's not gone but hiding. How to bring it back to the old view if you need it:

Re: Sierra 10.12.4
Anyone know how to disable the "growing" cursor in Sierra? I'm moving the cursor and suddenly it "grows bigger" and I don't know why.

Designed to do that only when you wiggle it back and forth. It's part of the OS since El Cap.David Polich wrote:Anyone know how to disable the "growing" cursor in Sierra? I'm moving the cursor and suddenly it "grows bigger" and I don't know why.
When working on large, multiple monitors, it's a big help. When you understand that Apple considers this an Accessibility function, finding the control panel is easy.

Re: Sierra 10.12.4
Disable if you wish, but sometimes if you have multiple monitors, that's a truly great feature to have! I really have to move the mouse back and forth rapidly to make the cursor grow, so it's never been an issue for me.David Polich wrote:Anyone know how to disable the "growing" cursor in Sierra?
