Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of macOS Sierra to Developers

[Samuel Bradshaw]

Here is my problem with this... I'm sitting at my desk with the Mac, iPad & iPhone all switched on. I say "Hey Siri" and all 3 devices will answer because they don't know which device I'm talking to. I had to disable Hey Siri on the iPad because of this problem and it's going to be the same with the Mac. This just isn't going to work.

You could have fun seeing which Siri is able to do various tasks the fastest!

It's still mostly the same, but contextual menus work fine for me. Not sure if they did in El Capitan or not... Regardless, Disk Utility is what it is: A utility for people who know very little. diskutil is my go-to command for most things disk related. Anything more advanced than that, then one of the newfs commands, fdisk, gpt, among others. I've never been bothered by the middle-aged crisis Disk Utility is going through, personally.

Interesting… currently in El Capitan - Contextual clicking / Right Clicking a drive doesn't provide any options (other than "Show in Finder"). Notably, Mount/Unmount options are missing — which were there in older versions of Disk Utility

Mount/Unmount options are missing

You might those commands in a menu, but not a contextual menu.

I'm certain that Unlock, for which traditional Disk Utility offered a button, is a menu option in Sierra.
