I’m notorious for not updating OS X (macOS) too quickly, preferring to wait months on end for Apple to iron out bugs. I just hope that in 2017 they don’t make a major release and something sensible, i.e. that fixes usability and makes the OS much more stable.<\/p>\n
However when you buy a new Mac, you’re more or less forced into the new OS. I did pickup a MacBook Pro 15″ with the new TouchBar, and at some stage I’ll talk about my usage (its been about 3 months of daily usage). <\/p>\n
One thing that has annoyed me about the new macOS Sierra is that I don’t get to use GPGTools – it will not work on macOS Sierra<\/a>. There is now however a beta<\/a> you could try to ensure you’re signing and encrypting email just as well.<\/p>\n Another thing that I hit almost immediately? Some of my SSH hosts just stopped working. I’ve seen various sites talk about how ssh-agent does not automatically load pass phrases to keychain during startup<\/a> to Upgrading to macOS Sierra will break your SSH keys and lock you out of your own servers<\/a>.<\/p>\n My Host *<\/p>\n UseKeychain yes<\/p>\n AddKeysToAgent yes<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n to fix things. <\/p>\n Everything else more or less works. I did Time Machine restore. I’m not too happy that they removed the Time Remaining from the Battery icon, and I’m not getting the battery life that I expect, but maybe when the new Mac Mini’s come out, I’ll do another Time Machine restore to that, and a clean install to the MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m notorious for not updating OS X (macOS) too quickly, preferring to wait months on end for Apple to iron out bugs.
