The update corrupted the boot drive of my 2011 Mac mini, so I’ll need to reinstall from a backup. Great.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 With eGPU Support, Business Chat in Messages, and More

A lot of people complain about Apple phasing out 32-bit apps, but I seldom read about the security issue. Someone at Apple who's good friends with a friend of mine (hey, this is mac Rumors afterall) called him about 6-9 months called him and told him to immediately delete all his 32-bit apps from his iPhone and Mac for security reasons. He wouldn't give details but he isn't a low-level employee and our mutual friend trusts him.
I think Apple found some super jacked up security flaws with its 32-bit environment and hasn't divulged it since its more secure 64-bit environment is supplanting it.

This is interesting:
The app/game just has to support it. Feral, get to work!

In general, an eGPU can accelerate performance in these types of applications:
Sounds like eGPUs can now officially run the built-in display. This is great!- Pro applications designed to utilize multiple GPUs
- 3D games, when an external monitor is attached directly to the eGPU
- VR applications, when the VR headset is attached directly to the eGPU
- Pro applications and 3D games that accelerate the built-in display of an iMac or MacBook Pro. (This capability must be enabled by the application's developer.)

I do. I use Firefox with the bookmark toolbar and it syncs across my devices. It's an efficient and effective way to maintain links. I see no reason to change at this time.
What benefit would the DVD Player app have by migrating to 64-bit?I can not believe it...

Well...should have checked DisplayLink (use a Dell usb-c dock) before I updated
Of course, that is the most wise thing to do. At least for now.
The problem is (will be), when you old computer dies and you need to buy a new one.
What do you mean?
Damn..
Installed and now 2 macs can't can't connect , both is in same network.
It keeps asking for ID and password and the input box shakes indicating wrong password.
Went to the Mac and keyed same values, works.
But can't perform screen share or SMB connection.
Another mac , not yet updated works fine.
WHAT THE F.........Anyone face this same issue??

I was researching SMB issues with High Sierra earlier this week, and saw that High Sierra had an issue just as you described, but there was an update that fixed it. I can't imagine that a newer version of macOS would reintroduce the same problem again?
... its the Tom and Jerry show ... starring Apple ... again ...
Did this..
1. Open the Terminal app, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
2. Type sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC and press Return.
3. Enter your administrator password and press Return.
4. Quit the Terminal app
Did not work....
My only option is allow all users for screen sharing ....
You got any other way??
You would be surprised how often that sometimes occurs in tech but I'm surprised Apple would have a poor version control system if true.
Yup, still use and rely on them. While Safari is not my main browser, it is nice to see them updating it to finally support sorting.
I apologize is this has already been answered but do you still need an external display in order to use an eGPU? That’s the one thing keeping me from jumping on board.
I had updates pending for 10.13.4, iTunes 12.7.4, and Command Line Tools. Chose to run all three. Machine went through the update process and booted back up. iTunes and Command Line are done, but 10.13.4 didn't apply. Re-run one more time to see if it just skipped it because of the other two.
Update, second time around went through fine. Running 10.13.4 now. Goes without saying, Safari is snappier.

It means there is something wrong with your system now, just because the sympthom is manifested while updating it does not mean the issue is in the update.
yeah, typoed. anyway waiting for combo (again, just like previous update, where it updated but the updater left the stupid system install files on the disk)
That's exactly what it looked like on my 2011 mini. I hit the restart and the installation completed successfully. Good luck.
Yeah, but who's security? If I've saved an ID/PW for a website, and IF that website has been validated, there is zero protection in forcing a manual step. To me this is just another nuisance change.
The protection is to prevent a script from grabbing your password credentials for all sites, this has already been proven in a major security exploit a few months ago. It's why a certain password manager didn't allow this to work in the first place despite so many people requested it.
There is no such validation on the website's part, especially if they're using scripts hosted elsewhere such as ads. If the website's devs didn't do protect their assets right, you can visit the website with a login form hosted from a third party service and it can silently switch between various domains to grab your passwords without you knowing. So, if you think you're visiting macrumors, an invisible script can load to request access to Facebook, Reddit and the browser can auto-fill them in without you knowing.
By stopping the automatic fill, such malware cannot grab all of your data but only that site.
The web browsers are the most hostile environments there are right now. We're progressing in the wrong way with demanding too much JS for simple actions everywhere. Which is another reason everyone should be using content blocker.
