    Terminal Aliasing Question

    Posted: 14 May 2019 09:46 PM PDT

    On Linux systems, I like to add a line to my .bash_rc that aliases fuck to "sudo !!" to redo the last command as sudo without having to type it again. I added the line alias fuck="sudo !!" to my .bash_profile, but when I run it I get a prompt to enter my password then a command not found error. Running the command unaliased works just fine. Is there a reason or solution to why the alias in the file doesn't work?

    Does Migration Assistant transfer over deleted files?

    Posted: 15 May 2019 12:19 AM PDT

    Please forgive the fact that I'm not very tech savvy, it's my understanding that deleted files can almost always be recovered from an SSD. If I were to use Migration Assistant to transfer my date from my current 2013 MBP Retina to a newer MBP, would I be able to recover files in my new Mac that I deleted in my old one?

    Thanks!

    Interrupted updat

    Posted: 14 May 2019 11:54 PM PDT

    Hello

    I'm updating my mac to the latest version of macOS while writing.

    I've noticed the update makes my mac act weird the last 3 times i did it, here's what it does:

    • authorize macOS update
    • apple logo showing with progress bar
    • mac reboots a few times then shuts down
    • when i turn it back on i see the mojave login screen
    • once i provide the password, it resumes the update (apple logo on black screen) showing the ETA

    Is this normal? Shouldn't it update completely and then ask me for the password on the login screen?

    Thanks in advance

    [HELP] Cant partition SSD?

    Posted: 14 May 2019 10:51 PM PDT

    2017 13' MBP touchbar with 256gb SSD. Been trying to install boot camp for days now, and always fails on partitioning the drive. When I tried to manually partition the drive in a MS friendly format I get the error code 49187. Filevault and time machine have never been used. The SSD only has 50GB filled, it is a brand new machine and I have tried many things recommended on forumns and the likes. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Im on the latest Mojave Beta.

    Why MacOS Mojave still stuck with older cli tools

    Posted: 14 May 2019 06:25 PM PDT

    Why is MacOS Mojave (10.14.5) is still stuck with cli tool versions of cat, sed, uptime etc from 199x-200x? It's 2019 and MacOS still ships with bash 3.x

    When Windows is coming up with stuff like WSL2, why is MacOS so reluctant to update these basic tools to the latest. If they want to keep developers using MacOS, this is one thing they should address.

    (Inb4 someone comes up with homebrew, yes I know about homebrew.)

    Retina MacBook Pro Screen Resolutions?

    Posted: 14 May 2019 06:52 AM PDT

    I cloned a Yosemite installation of 10.10.4 from another Mac to a 2015 Retina MacBookPro. It booted but everything on the screen was very tiny displaying the Mac GUI at 2880x1800 without Retina scaling. I look in the display preferences and there is no scaling options. The Retina MacBook Pro originally came with 10.10.3. How do I fix this?

    Thanks

    How to Remove Distracting End Cards from Youtube

    Posted: 14 May 2019 01:47 PM PDT

    How to Remove Distracting End Cards from Youtube

    So Youtube added a feature which causes video portals called end cards to appear during the last 20 seconds of a video. This was a bad move since it not only covers a large portion of the screen for the last remaining seconds, but it can also be a distraction for when you were intending to only watch a single video. I've been installing extentions on Chrome and Safari that would serve to block both ads, and all Youtube video recommendations across the site. I managed to do everything on Chrome with Adblock just fine, but on Safari, I'm using Adblock Plus to attempt the same thing, and things aren't going as smoothly. I watched this tutorial on how to block Youtube's end cards and noticed the guy I was watching was doing this on Safari, so I tried to do the same. But when I did, I encountered a problem. To block the cards, you have to tap on the extension and hit "Block Element" and then select the element you want to remove, but when I tried to do it for myself, there was no option to block any elements. Hitting "Open Adblock Plus" doesn't give me the option either. It just sends me to an app with only a minuscule extra amount of features, none of them being what I'm looking for. Is this because it's a different update version of the extension and they removed the options? If so, how else can I remove these end cards? Btw, my options were the same with both Adblock and Adblock Plus with Safari. I also got both extensions from the Apple App Store. Any help would be appreciated.

    Can't change accent color in Mojave. Terminal command to fix?

    Posted: 14 May 2019 07:45 AM PDT

    I can't seem to change the accent color on my MacBook Pro, running 10.14.x (it's never worked, regardless of Mojave version). It's stuck on Blue, and though it'll let me select gray—and even changes the lil' preview window to gray—it never actually changes away from blue. I've checked 15+ sites/pages related to MacOS accent colors, and haven't found a way to fix this. I'm hoping there's a manual way to do it via the terminal! This is on a corporate-managed mac, so there are some settings that are slightly wonky, but I don't *think* they've made changes that would prevent a different accent color from being selected; Dark mode works fine… FYI: It's not just that gray can't be selected, it won't change to any color other than the default blue.

    If anyone has ideas on how to fix this, I'd greatly appreciate it! It's been driving me nuts!

    Here are some relevant sites I've visited, and what they contain.

    The integer codes for MacOS accent colors:

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51695755/how-can-i-determine-the-macos-10-14-accent-color/51695756#51695756

    How the OS notifies apps of changes to accent colors

    https://superuser.com/questions/901871/change-mac-appearance-color-from-blue-and-graphite?rq=1

    Commands that haven't errored out:

    defaults write -globalDomain "AccentColor" -int -1 defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleAccentColor -int -1 defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleAccentColor -integer -1 defaults write -g AppleAccentColor defaults write -g AppleAccentColor -int -1 

    Commands that didn't error out, but didn't change anything:

    defaults write AppleAccentColor -int -1 defaults write AppleAccentColor -integer -1

    How to Change Terminal Title & Tab Titles

    Posted: 14 May 2019 09:52 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    The terminal tab headers have been bothering me for a while.

    The terminal has a ['Computer name' -- -bash --'XX' x 'YY'] where 'XX' and 'YY' are the dimensions of the window

    Each terminal tab has a ['Folder name' -- -bash]

    I would like to rename the terminal header ('computer name', --bash, and 'XX x YY' dimensions

    And also remove the -bash from the terminal tabs (i know how to rename the tab title but not the bash part)

    has anyone encountered this issue and found a working solution?

    I posted a screenshot of the issue with some redacted info.

    Thanks!

    MacBook Pro no longer accepts my password or my old ones, won’t connect to my iCloud account, won’t log in, and won’t reinstall macOS without the password that it won’t accept, Mackintosh HD is ‘unmounted’

    Fonts in macOS Mojave

    Is there are anything that I can do on brand new mac to improve quality of font rendering on some websites?
    Please check the screenshot bellow - in my opinion the left side (default Chrome on Win2016 via RDP) looks cleaner then the right (default Chrome on macOS Mojave 10.14.x).
