 @bb1a99d2 Have you been hearing any rumors of bugs in Preview in macOS Sonoma? All of my Macs are having issues with Preview complaining that it can't auto-save (or regular save) many different files. Open a jpg, resize, try to save, denied. 
 nostr:npub1k0f3ah0vv29wrlx92her7rvdjt9s6v8kptkhwtr2ml05p77wth4ssmq0g2 Oh hello, Cooler Master 690! 
 @1c7cf591 You are a winner! This is the OG iBuyPower 690 circa 2011. I got it out of a dumpster with an Intel i7-920 in it. Still a pretty good case! 
 Look closely and you'll see a decade of dust, scuffs, and a few drops of dried blood on my “Millennium Falcon” PC case!

 Is anyone else seeing issues with #macOS #Sonoma #Preview refusing to save edits to files? I'm getting errors all over the place suddenly! It won't even save a new file with the edits because it can't auto-save... 
 Update on my #macOS #Sonoma #Preview issue: It appears to be related to images edited or created by #imagemagick!

I often use the convert command in #homebrew to resize or transcode images for blogs and it appears that anything it touches becomes anathema to Preview in Sonoma. And it appears this is the case for some online sites from which I download images too! For example, download this (the original trademark for Rolex) and try to open it in Preview.

 The killer app for #ComputationalStorage is overcoming LOCAL data gravity. Think about what I call “flush time” - how long it takes to dump an entire SSD. Onboard processing will always be much faster than dumping 60TB or more even over PCIe 6 or something! #SDC23
