Mojave OS updates;

Paul Horowitz writes an article on the new Mojave OS update for Mac OS and the pros and cons of it. Also, he gives some good insight on what to expect after the update and recommendations if you should or shouldn't update your OS depending on how you use it. I learned that I probably shouldn't have updated my Mac and instead stayed with the version before, as there new problems/bugs that arise from said update. I recommend this article as mentioned previously that it brings helpful insight on what to expect pre/post update.

Apple has released MacOS Mojave 10.14.4 for Mac users running MacOS Mojave. The software update for MacOS includes bug fixes and enhancements and is therefore recommended for all Mac users running MacOS Mojave to install.

Notable bug fixes that may be of particular interest to some MacOS Mojave users include resolutions aimed at addressing wi-fi not working after the Mojave update, problems with Exchange accounts, issues with AOL passwords in the Mail app, a resolution to USB audio device issues on some 2018 Mac models, and more. Separately, the update includes support for Apple News Plus subscription fee service, updates to Safari, an update to iTunes, and more. The full release notes for MacOS 10.14.4 update are shown further below.

Additionally, Apple has released small updates for Mac users running prior MacOS builds including Security Update 2019-002 for MacOS High Sierra and Sierra, along with iOS 12.2 update for iPhone and iPad, watchOS 5.2 for Apple Watch, and tvOS 12.2 for Apple TV.

How to Install MacOS Mojave 10.14.4 Update

Be sure to back up the Mac with Time Machine or your backup method of choice before beginning any Mac system software update.

1. Go to the  Apple menu and choose "System Preferences"

2. Select the "Software Update" preference panel

3. Choose "Update Now" when MacOS 10.14.4 appears

MacOS 10.14.4 update weighs around 2.9GB for some Macs, and installing the update requires the Mac to reboot.

For Mac users running prior releases including High Sierra or Sierra, they will find a handful of small software updates available through the Mac App Store Updates tab. Recall that updating MacOS Mojave is now done through the Software Update control panel again, whereas a variety of prior versions of Mac OS relied on the App Store to receive software updates.

Troubleshooting Problems with MacOS 10.14.4 Update

Users have reported various problems with the MacOS 10.14.4 update, some of which may be random and some of which may relate to the actual update itself.

Gmail accounts not working with MacOS Mojave 10.14.4

Some Gmail users are discovering that they can no longer login to Gmail accounts in the Mail app for Mac after updating to MacOS 10.14.4. Typically impacted Gmail users will open Mail app to be presented with an endless authentication loop for trying to login to Gmail, which repeatedly fails with a message stating "Enter the password for account (name)" and 'Google requires completing authentication with Safari' which will fail as well. A workaround for this is to use http://gmail.com for Gmail until the issue is resolved

Mac is Very Slow After MacOS 10.14.4 Update

Some Mac users have experienced unusually slow performance after updating to Mac OS Mojave 10.14.4. This is often a matter of the Mac performing routine maintenance activity after a system software update, including reindexing Spotlight, rebuilding caches, rebuilding Photos libraries, syncing iCloud data, and other normal behavior. If a Mac feels unusually slow after updating to MacOS 10.14.4, often keeping the computer turned on, plugged in, and idle for a while will usually resolve the performance issue.

MacOS 10.14.4 Update Fails

If the MacOS 10.14.4 update fails to install, a common solution is use the combo update for MacOS 10.14.4 rather than installing from the System Preference panel.

Misc issues with MacOS 10.14.4

Safari showing "Not Secure" text on website address bar is simply an indicator that websites are using HTTP rather than HTTPS. There is no difference or change in security otherwise compared to before installing the software update. This applies to both MacOS and iOS.

External hard drives are not mounting / connecting automatically with macOS 10.14.4. This issue is impacting some Mac users, a solution is often simply rebooting the Mac. If the problem persists, a workaround is to manually mount the external hard drive or disk through Disk Utility on the Mac

The Taiwan flag 🇹🇼 is missing in MacOS Mojave 10.14.4 for China based Mac users. The reason for this is either a bug, or perhaps related to international politics pertaining to Taiwan and China. An apparent workaround is to modify /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist to change the Country string for "CN" to another country code, then selecting a different region / language setting within System Preferences, and rebooting the Mac

If you are experiencing any issues, problems, or noteworthy behavior after updating a Mac to MacOS Mojave 10.14.4 share with us in the comments below, including any resolutions of the issues experienced.

I’m reviewing a video from a post that’s titled “Windows 10 is the world’s most popular operating system”.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/weightloss/windows-10-is-the-worlds-most-popular-desktop-operating-system-but-users-still-have-major-complaints-about-design-inconsistencies-and-buggy-updates/vp-BBUIn3J

The blog was posted by Business Insider and actually gives information on major complains about design inconsistencies and buggy updates. I would recommend this video to anyone that has always used windows for years over time. Using windows over time and actually reviewing this video allows me to really compare previous updates and designs to what we have now for windows. From basing the operating systems for touch screens to mixing previous updates together, you really start to find out windows is all over the place in some aspects. In the video you even see a post finding 11 different styles across Microsoft’s core apps. I would recommend this video to any usual windows user to really look in depth to each windows update.

Title: Microsoft announces latest IoT innovations for intelligent edge device at embedded world

Web Address: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2019/02/26/microsoft-announces-latest-windows-iot-innovations-for-intelligent-edge-devices-at-embedded-world/#iSMK7AmkezqEMWcQ.97

Author: David Lemson

They are innovating a new embedded world of Windows IoT for devices. This enables the device to develop solutions towards low powered devices and servers. Windows IoT has new capabilities such as Azure IoT edge, Device agent, and robot operating systems on Windows. With Azure IoT edge, it allows customers to download cloud applications and services.  Azure edge device agents allows customer to manage and monitor their device freely from their Azure dashboard. Robot operating systems also includes hardware- accelerated Windows machine learning, computer vision, Azure cognitive service, and turnkey connections to Azure.

I would recommend it to other because this allows users to find an easier way to use Windows IoT and find solutions towards low powered devices and servers. It also enable high capacity storage and compute scenarios between Cloud and Edge.

Title: MacOS High Sierra: Everything you need to know about Apple’s latest Mac operating system.

Author: Michael Simon and Roman Loyola

Subject:  MacOS High Sierra is the next version of Apple’s operating system for Mac computers. OS concentrates on “future innovations” in the world of virtual and augmented reality. With this MacOS High Sierra, MacBook’s don’t change a lot. There are new features mostly in Apple photos, Apple Notes and Mail apps have new helpful tools. The main reason to update us for security purposes. Apple File System is the best version of MacOS. Apple File System includes provides many things like snapshots, space sharing, faster performance, the ability to manage large storage, and more.

I learned that updates improves your computers security.

I would most definitely recommend this review because when people think of updates they always expect new features, but the importance of them is the security improvements.

The name of the Blog post I researched is How to Keep Older Macs Secure: A Geeky Approach by Jay Vrijenhoek and can be found at the web address https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/how-to-keep-older-macs-secure-a-geeky-approach/. The Blog contains ideas and information on how to keep your older Mac laptops secure although they may not support the current version of macOS (the mac operating system). Jay States that there is really only two options, upgrade to the latest version of macO, then install the version of macOS that still receives security updates, or use a third party utility to install the most recent macOS on you laptop, although apple doesn’t officially support it. He continues to list third party sites like Mojave that will aid in updating your Mac to the latest macOS. I would defiantly recommend this blog to someone with an older Mac because the information could really helpful in keeping your Mac up to date and secure, without spending at least a $1,000 on a new Mac.

Jay Vrijenhoek compiled a blog post titled “Apple releases iOS 12.2, macOS Mojave 10.14.4, watchOS 5.2 with Critical Security Updates” that informs you upon all of the updates Apple created for their operating systems. From my research, I discovered that there were over 150 security issues that had to be fixed by using just one update. Vrijenhoek presses everyone to install the update sooner rather than later due to the outstanding amount of bugs and malware that could do harm to your device or the security of your data stored on your device. I definitely recommend taking the time to read this post as it explains in depth all the security issues and features that were updated as of March 27th, 2019.

Microsoft caught a security threat that occurred from an attack on user’s privacy via coders through a third party vendor, Huawei. Microsoft Defender ATP was recently upgraded by the company and ultimately stopped the threat from becoming out of control. As a result, Microsoft has decided to quit updating Windows 7 to further protect users from these security threats. This blog has opened my eyes to the fact that choosing a trusted operating system is important because the company will do all it can to protect users from vulnerabilities and therefore makes a good read for Microsoft system users.

Tech Gumbo (TechGumbo)

Getting Started in Windows 10

1.       How to use shortcuts

2.       How to use the windows 10 assistant(Cortona)

I definitely would recommend the video for anyone using windows 10. I’ve been using windows 10 for about a year, and I still learned a little more than I knew before. Such as, reducing the blue light on your screen. Which studies claim to help you sleep better. Also, changing the window setting to make your user experience a pleasant one.

The title of the blog post i reviewed was "Android vs. iOS: Which is more secure?" The primary contributor of the post is Blue Pi, which is a Microsoft partner. The web address is https://www.bluepiit.com/blog/android-vs-ios-secure/.

This blog briefly compares the safety threats concerning the iOS and Android operating systems. I learned that even though both systems are continuously upgrading their security features, Android systems are overall more exposed to malware attacks due to a larger user base, device fragmentation, and loose app store regulations.  would recommend others to read about the topic in general because sometimes we don’t realize the extent of safety threats that can occur through our phones.

Linux OS

·         The name of the video I chose is, “What is Linux?

·         The web address is, https://youtu.be/zA3vmx0GaO8

·         The primary contributors are, Techquickie and Linus Tech Tips.

·         The subject of the video is about Linux OS.

·         I learned that Linux runs programs with a thing called the Linux Kernel that allows it to controls all the programs that are happening on the computer. Also, many server companies use Linux to run their servers because it is no as heavy as Windows OS.

·         I would recommend Linux to others that want more control over their PC. Linux provides a more customization than Windows with the sacrifice of a smoother user interface. Linux is not for everyone, those whom have a background in computer programming will enjoy the flexibility that this OS offers. However, the beginner that has a hard time opening the calculator on the standard Windows OS should find other alternatives. This video presents all the information needed about Linux and allows the viewer to make the decision to switch their OS.

·         Subject: Explaining the change in File Explore due to the Windows 10 October Update, allowing users to change the theme on their File Explore so that is more appealing/ easier on the eyes. Such as adding darker colors to the File Explore (adding more grey tones). Doing this will allow the user to be more drawn to the content of the center of the.

·         What I learned from reviewing this blog post is that I am able to change the theme of my File Explore page to make it more appealing to my eyes, or if I want to see  more darker colors. I also learned how I am able to change the theme of my File Explore if I wanted to see more grey tones on my screen.

·         I would recommend others to read this blog post because many computer users have a hard time looking at a computer screen for too long. Reading this blog post will allow many users to know about the recent change there has been to File Explore and they can change the computer theme if it has not been updated yet.

https://www.educba.com/linux-vs-mac/                                     The name of this blog is Linux vs Mac, which contains information of the several obvious differences between the linux operation systems and Mac OS. The authors are people who are strong in technology and the differences and contrasts. I learned that linux operating system is free, not easily avaliable, more secure, allows "  a developer can download and modify kernel of it according to requirement can distribute" and not too strong in support. While MAC, is more on the pricey side, not well with security, not an open source so is easily availiable, and strong with support as it is a paid product. Each have their own disadvantages as the Linux has driver issues, as there is low availibility, and the mac has difficulties in upgrades and prices. Choosing which one fits you, is based on what you need and requirements. i reconmend reading only if deciding between the two systems

I am reviewing the blog post called, Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18865. The web address for this article is

https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2019/03/27/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-18865/#ccofEyCFcTvltgcz.97.

The key contributors and authors are, Dona Sarkar and Brandon LeBlanc. This is the insiders look into the new GUI for windows ten users to see if the features are good improvements. Such features include; the mouse showing tool tips when hovering over the different colored options, a bug fix to the narrator for the visually impaired, and in fixing an issue where, if your computer supported Wi-Fi and you had the Performance tab set as default in Task Manager, on Task Manager launch, the Wi-Fi section in the Performance tab would appear to be selected, but the details displayed would be for the CPU section.

What I learned from this blog post is that the new Windows OS will feature quite a lot of changes and fixes for the narrator so that it can be more useful. Hopefully these changes are not met with more bugs. I would recommend others to read this blog post as well as other blog posts made by the website, as it will keep you informed not only on what changes are coming to the OS, but also what bugs Microsoft has already been made aware of.

The title of the blog chosen is Microsoft windows blog it’s an official blog for windows and devices at Microsoft. The web address of the Microsoft blog is https://blogs.microsoft.com/. The contributors or authors of the blog is just the Microsoft team itself. They made this blog post for customers and users to keep up with new products and services that come out. The subject is about the new innovations that they have occurring in the future. The blog is set up in a catalog style, where there is different topics that speak on innovations, new techniques, and shifts within the Microsoft brand. I just learned from the blog that Microsoft is introducing the Hololens2 this year. It is basically a work organizer/ computer in the form of glasses. They retail at $3,500. I highly recommend for people to take a look at the blog. Because mostly every device we use or have ever used is related to Microsoft, so it will do some good to keep up with their future releases. Because they will only get better with time.

The title of the article that I chose was Windows OS. The web that i read this from is https://www.britannica.com/technology/Windows-OS created by the primary contributor; The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica. This article was made with the intention to provide us information of the updates that were made to Windows operating system while time passed. I learned how Windows operating system started to offer more versions for different devices. When time passed the creator of Windows began to run a faster operating system with a larger scale. Their last Window version will not have any mayor changes, but they do give regular updates on the operating system. I would recommend reading this article because it shows how much they progressed with time and intelligence.

The name of the blog post I reviewed is called The Windows Blog and the web address is   https://blogs.windows.com/ and the author is Dona Sarkar. The blog post subject is about a windows build that has released and has general changes and improvements and bug fixes. What I learned is that you are able to join a program to get early access to he build. I would recommend it to someone because its a lot of interesting things that involves windows.

I watched a video about Microsoft Windows 10 on YouTube called “Windows 10 review” by The Verge posted on July 28th, 2015. If you would like to watch the video it is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyvQaVUeu90. The creator of the video mentioned that “Widows 10 is mostly about fixing the mess that Microsoft created with Windows 8” (Verge). One example of this was how Microsoft put Windows 8 and Windows 7 to create a new version of the start menu but stayed true to the original designs. One thing I learned was screen recording on the Xbox app. This was interesting to me because I am only play Xbox and will never switch to PlayStation, I knew I could stream to my computer and use OBS software to record my gameplay but using the Xbox apps screen recorder I am able to cut out having to download OBS and not have to have a background app running while I am streaming to my computer to record. I would definitely recommend this video to other people because if you are a new Windows user or are a long-time user of Windows you may not know these things about the software. Another reason I would is because he explains how to use features like Cortana and a few tricks you can use on Microsoft browser Edge such as searching for weather and showing that you can draw on web pages and you can send screen shots of the web pages to people. He also briefly goes over using a tablet that runs on widows 10, but he also gives a few examples of bad things about Windows 10 such as download folder loading speed, audio not working or apps crashing. This was a well written video that helps cover the main parts of Windows 10 with a quick over view of many of the features of it.

About a week ago, Apple just released an update for Mac users called MacOS Mojave 10.14.4. If you want read more about it, you can visit  http://osxdaily.com/2019/03/25/macos-mojave-10-14-4-update-download/ in which the titled is called

MacOS Mojave 10.14.4 Update Released for Mac. It fixed bugs and enhanced it a little. Before the update consumers were experiencing wifi connections not working, or exchanged accounts, AOL passwords not working with Mail and much more. With that said, Apple did fix these problems but new one appeared as well... like Gmail accounts not working after the update, very slow response, and other troubleshooting actions. Apple released a statement saying that they're working on this as fast as they can to fix this issue.
