Another beta another upgrade.
And I have to say, macOS High Sierra is pretty stable. I even updated all my ports (macports) without major problems.
A couple of days ago I got the flex for the focus mechanism in my 18-55 camera lens, but in my lack of experience I didn’t do a god job, the focus moved, and the camera tried to focus (it really tries) but the image remained blurry. So I had to put the flex in place again, the first attempt was not perfect. In order to do this. Here some pictures.
I have a problem with my camera, there’s a small cable that is flexible and helps to get the autofocus working, the problem is that with the time and usage the flex got broken, and then autofocus stop working.
I ask a friend that is very skilled soldering stuff, he usually repair broken motherboards, I asked if he could join the flex, he told me that he can, he would charge $300MXN (about $16.5 USD) to do the job. I found in mercadolibre (similar to eBay) the same flex I needed for $150 (about $8.3USD). So, I bought one and my goal was trying to fix the lens by myself.
The good part, I have everything needed, a really small Phillips screwdriver, the one used for the iPhone screws is just fine, a small Phillips is required too, and tons of patience.
The good part, I learned how to disassemble this lens, is quite simple once you understand it. I removed the damaged flex and put the new one in place.
The bad part, the flex was not exactly in place, so, focus is not working, I mean, it moves, but getting something in focus takes a lot of time.
The challenging part… fix it without asking for a new flex (although they are pretty cheap).
Some pictures for the memories.
Qué tal si tiene soniditos de Nintendo ??
Pretty stable so far, I haven had major issues and can perfectly run my IDE (Eclipse + PyDEV), vagrant, and all the apps that I usually open.
I love to use macOS mail app, it works great from the point of view of a desktop app, it looks and behave as intended but is definitively not perfect. There are some features that would make it perfect.
Still need more work but it’s doing good.
One curious thing… it asks for Touch ID to unlock my iPad although this version does not have TouchID
I don’t know where the screen recordings go, so, I was unable to put one here using that feature.
Luckily with an SSD the update is faster, it’s already rebooting
Of course install it on a non-primary, non-daily-driver device because as far as I can tell, is unstable and slow, not what you’d expect from a stable release, but hey, you know that, it’s beta software.
So, why install it??, as far as Beta 3 it’s kind of usable with some minor glitches and slow response of the keyboard, but you’ll get the updates and will known when it is ready for you to use with your iPhone or daily-drive device.
You can get used to the mayor changes that it introduces… did you know that the keyboard layout for non-letters keys changed??
Do you already have it?? What’s your favorite feature?? Please comment
Pero también está lentísimo en mi iPad mini

Probably not a whole GB was relesead but at leas the 664MB compressed memory.
