RV_ Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Start your day with a raft of patches for your iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, Apple TVs, and Macs. Excerpt: "Apple has released patches for iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS to patch the bug that causes apps like Messages to crash due to the inability to render a character in the Indian language Telugu. Must read: Apple products you shouldn't buy in 2018 iOS 11.2.6, macOS 10.13.3, tvOS 11.2.6, and watchOS 4.2.3. all patch the "Telugu" bug. These patches also address other issues, such as a bug in iOS 11 where third-party apps can't connect to accessories, and a macOS bug where Messages are displayed in the wrong order. The bug, spotted by the Italian blog Mobile World, involves sending an Indian language character (Telugu) to the victim. Once it is received, the device crashes, and then the operating system prevents the application from loading. The patches are, thankfully, quick and easy to install. The patches for iOS and watchOS are about 30 to 40 megabytes, which means the job is over in a few minutes. The macOS patch however does require a restart of your Mac, so plan ahead for that."

I love the assumption on the part of the authors that everyone has access to high speed internet and unlimited data.

Biker56 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 11.2.6 is a 33.2MB update on my iPhone. Even with my 5.1Mbps Mobley unlimited data $22.01 a month hotspot it was less then 7 minutes download the iPhone, install and reboot took longer. And download of 29.6MB for my iPad that took 6.8 minutes by iPhone timer. Install and restart took 9.3 minutes. Then the 7 app updates it needed took another 9.1 minutes. Gone are the 10 years my Datastorm only got a 1.2Mpbs downloads and limited to 450GB + a day. Now that was slow, Mobley is so much faster.

Barbaraok Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 You pull a post from 2008? For the record, I've had Macs since 1984 and never had one with a noise fan. Some I could faintly hear it. My laptop once in a great while if it is super quiet and I've plugged in one of the backup hard drives and it is doing a significant backup. Otherwise, never hear anything.
