I think it’s natural to think of this in terms of frequencies so the kiki shape has a higher visual frequency. As does the word have a higher audio frequencies within in than bouba so that is naturally associated with the lower frequency undulating line of that shape.

same here in safari. first strike ok, second froze for a few sec. I did like the sort of 'obstruction' effect of the rain on the house for example. obvioulsy a limitation of the char based render, but it adds a pleasing kind of obscuring effect.

I used to use First Word on the ST back in the day.

Why are the scans not deskewed and in some cases edges cut off ?

Doesn't seem to have any data for Morrisons Stations. Is this a glitch in the data, or Morrisons, or the app ?

Hmm. I can't actually find the link to start using it to try it out. ? It offers a Free Demo that is behind some kind of details harvesting form. I don't want a demo. Is this usable enough to move a small (6 people) team away from google sheets ? hard to say since i can't test it and it doesn't say what the cost is. Stop hiding your shit behind hard to navigate/use/privacy invading bullshit. Just let us use the stuff. If you must gimp it, do it in a way that doesn't stop us using it first.

On my screen, the words "Download Now" are the biggest on the page.

I see the link now. But there's a hell of a lot of stuff on that page that does not help to be clear, rather the opposite.

Is your team looking at the cloud version or a local install?

If latter would suggest checking current version of LibreOffice (which is Collabra Office Classic) as a local (i.e. on client computer) install. If former, then I'd imagine you will have to fill the form in to get access.

Edit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46901100 Another commenter has summarised the differences between Collabora Office and Collabora Office Classic (aka LibreOffice) for us

Macs have rounded corners on the desktop. I.e 4 corners. It looked awesome in the CRT days because of the shape of them. These days on flat lcd screens the geometry is so good that they aren’t required to provide the same function as in CRT days but some people still like the look. I do, but i dont run extra software if i can help it especially for an aesthetic change. I used a tool like this is the past but there were incompatibility’s.

I'm super confused. My Macbook desktop has no rounded corners. Both the menu bar and content against the bottom edge are sharp-cornered. Is this only for external screens?

Running an Apple Studio Display here, and no rounded corners at any edges. So, just for non-Apple monitors?

Not even that. I have both Apple and non-Apple monitors, and my Mac only rounds the top edges on the MacBook’s screen, as intended.

Not sure what this tool’s function is supposed to be, given that the rounded corners only appear on screens that are actually rounded. Why would you want to straighten that out on a physically-rounded screen?

It’s more than that, the screen is rounded at the hardware level, there are no pixels to show anything here. What the OP software is supposed to “fix” CANNOT be fixed!

Running two Lenovo ThinkVision displays off of my work MacBook Pro.

On the MBP built-in display, the upper-left and upper-right corners are rounded. I believe this is due to the shape of the display. The bottom corners are not rounded.

On the external displays, the corners are all square.

Not the case with a third-party display either.

The newest design of MacBooks with the notch have the top corners of the display rounded.

Yes, but that’s not in-software, the screen is actually, physically rounded. Using software to straighten that out would have, quite literally, no effect at all on these machines.

But most importantly, when connected to sharp-edged monitors, the Mac does not round the corners and instead displays the entire contents of the screen edge-to-edge (including the desktop and menu bar). So this tool seems to be solving a problem that does not exist.

Do those pixels even exist on the display? They certainly don't on the iPhone; the implied corners on those are physically outside the device.

Yeah I really thought (and actually still think) the rounded corners on the top left and right of the new(-ish) MacBook Pro are hardware. I know for sure they pre-date Tahoe!

They are hardware.

There's software like Top Notch if you want to make the bottom corners rounded also.

TopNotch also solves the problem this app targets I think: the rounded corners are not visible when the menubar is black.

Absolutely this. I can’t agree with this more. Having been using apple macs for 2 decades now I’m wondering whether my next machine will be apple. There’s even a setting for the adverts in the system settings. This is disguising.

Isnt that exactly how it works?

From the first message in this thread:

  automatic OCR / processing of all image files on macOS

If OCR was deferred until user request/consent, it would eliminate the battery/performance cost of speculative image analysis.

The first message in the thread isn't the definition of the actual feature.

What's the best way to disable all MacOS image processing background services?

There isn't any such service; it's on demand.

These macOS services appear to be related to image processing:

  photoanalysisd 
  mediaanalysisd
  com.apple.photos.backgroundAnalysisService

Seems to be England only.
