VLC is a great app. I stopped using it when I got a discount deal on the Pro update to Elmedia Player, which does what VLC does but also supports building playlists, opening browser videos via optional bookmarklet, saving RTMP streams,& external resources required by SWF animations, downloading YouTube videos (I have other apps I use for that, though), and easily being able to grab stills from videos.
I have to say I love the āNEWSā app.

Itās great. I write a mash note about it the other day. If you configure it with favorite new sources and topics, and blacklist stuff you arenāt interested in (for me: sports and some political extremist news) and like/dislike individual articles (Command+L or Command+D) then youāll get an increasingly useful, AI-powered smart RSS feed of customized news, while also being able to individually viit the feeds for sites and topics.
This has been available for a while on iOS, but itās just much more convenient and practical on macOS with big screens and the ability to open articles in a web browser.
I use NewsBlur for my (considerable) RSS feeds, and I wonāt be able to give it up - a while back I hit the feed limit on Apple News(150 sites/topics, I think). But right now Iāve got 1355 sites in RSS in NewsBlur. But Iām jumping into Apple News more, and first, because it bubbles up the more prominent and important news for easy reading.
Iām on the fence with this one, but thinking of going ahead to install it.
For those whoāve installed, have you seen performance gains?
Yes, and done (no issues so farā¦)
I jumped on Mojave on release day. I am anxious for Mailsuite so I can get Mail Act-on back, but otherwise everything is fine. I did not even back anything up this time. I was so excited, I just installed it. Next time I will back up ahead of time.
I got that message too before I could connect my iPhone to perform a backup (High Sierra as well). Just hit āOKā and let it do the update; youāll be able to connect and sync your music after that.
I jumped on Mojave last night and went for Dark Mode. (Iām not sure if Iāll stick with Dark Mode, though.)
The only victim discovered so far is IBM Notes - which is crashtastic. Iām told I can fix this so today Iāll try to. (I have other ways of getting at the IBM email infrastructure, as it happens.)
I cleared over 100GB today and tried again with no issues at all. Well, Better Touch Tool was not working but I toggled the security settingnoff and back on and now I think I am good to go!
