They reuse the demo videos for articles for betas when a new beta comes out. Nothing has changed so they don't need to make a new video. It's just informative. Not everyone comes here everyday and saw that video in the last beta's article.
...I assume. I don't work there.

Indeed it is. iOS is in, macOS is out. If they ever do update the Mac Pro, I'm sure it will be quickly forgotten by Apple and just to appease users.
If iOS could actually replace macOS, then fine, but that is not the case.
I thought that nightshift was just a gimmick when it came to iOS but after using it for awhile, I've figured out that it's one of those things that you really don't notice until it's gone. For some reason my brain unconsciously noticed when it wasn't on one night after resetting an iPad. Something just didn't "feal" right anymore. It took me a moment to figure out what was wrong but then I put nightshift back on and everything "felt" normal again. Seems weird but nightshift actually seems to induce a "cozy" feeling similar to a comfortable couch or bed at night. Seems to work the same with my Hue lights too. I'll feel uncomfortable when the colors are not set to a color that I've gotten accustomed to at a particular time of day. I've gotten used to having different settings for morning, night, cold, hot and even rainy or cloudy. Hopefully this isn't some sort of subliminal mind control technique. ヽ(゜～゜o)ノ
Apple released also printer drivers for third party printers. This means we can expect the next macOS update in 14 days.

This means probably security updates, including firmware updates, for older OS X versions. Thanks for the info!
I have Gunnar computer glasses that I also wear at work but glasses irritate my sinuses.
I tried flux and iris and didn't care for either because everything just turns too yellow. I hope Nightshift is better so I don't have to wear the glasses at home

Hey, I got the new MBP too. Can you give a list of bugs you've encountered? I haven't noticed any with Safari.
[doublepost=1488229798][/doublepost]
Top sites has a sporradic bug where it becomes non-responsive to selecting sites requiring quitting Safari to get response back. The show favorites page has a sporradic bug where the icons of the first two favorites become overlapped and the favourites stop responding to selecting also. Again requiring quitting safari and restarting. Those bugs have been there for well over a year. Happens on my new pro and on my 2013 air extremely regularly. Not to mention my new pro making a noise when I shake it from side to side from the display, and making random clicking noises that sound like a spark which seem to be coming from either the left or right side of the keyboard area
[doublepost=1488240658][/doublepost]
see my post I just made in response to someone else. In addition to that I frequently find when I open the lid of my computer instead of waking from sleep it reboots as if I shut it down (which I didn't). My air doesn't do this only my pro

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned, anything that makes a muddy mess of colors is a bug, not a feature.
Anybody know if there's a hotkey to immediately disable it? I obviously won't be turning it on for my computers, but I have to touch other peoples' computers all the time, and looking at screens distorted by f.lux is awful, but at least you can quit it easily, and most people don't know it exists. This mess is going to end up on a lot more computers.

I experienced all of the same on my 13" 2016 before finally giving up and getting rid of it. . .Not to mention the external display(s) causing it to randomly crash. Oh, and the Touch Bar buttons that randomly decided they didn't want to show up.
Night Shift!? I suppose the same team that is working on Night Shift for iOS might as well develop the software for macOS at the same time. But as other readers have asked, what about all the Software issues with macOS Sierra and indeed Hardware issues with the new MacBook Pro and recent laptops? Keyboard, Batteries, anti-reflective Screen coating, etc...
Also, when will we hear about a macOS update to include APFS with the prospect of new 2nd. Gen. laptops coming on stream this year? I can't help thinking there are greater priorities than Night Shift.

It's extremely easy. Open the notifications on the right side, scroll to the top. Don't worry. People have to turn it on manually, so if they "don't know it exists", it shouldn't be on.
So, what happens when you look at a screen? Do things seem more yellow to you with glasses on than without? Since you say Superb, reminds me of Zeiss Superb lenses. How does the blue light filtering glass work under normal conditions?

The question was not what is firmware in the Mac context. His question still stands at firmware for what? I think he wants to know if there is any information regarding what mandated the firmware update.

Do you want to notice some bugs? Don't ask for lists of bugs. You will know if you encounter some. A common symptom is anger towards the purchase, towards Apple, and an even fonder remembrance of Steve.

Would not know about a hotkey but it’s right there in Notification Centre, see screenshot.
There is research suggesting that reduction of blue light in the evening/at night leads to better sleep and in my personal anecdotal experience that is entirely true. As somebody who often works late, this is a fantastic feature when I do not need to do color-accurate work (I’m a designer and PM, so sometimes I need to, but often I don’t need to have accurate colours at night), I’m sooo happy this feature exists.

Always been in activity monitor, but it still only measures on the usage thats been done last couple of minutes so its only accurate if thats the thing you do until empty
It's a problem made for a problem, but they really took the idea from Flux. "The white on the screen is too harsh on one's eyes, so let's make all the whites brown so you have to strain your eyes reading black text on brown background or vice versa." Oh well, I guess people like it somehow.

WindowServer is more of a CPU hog for me. A steady, annoying 10-20% usage for no reason. If I sort my processes by CPU time, it's always at the top, above my Linux virtual machines!
[doublepost=1488278427][/doublepost]Can we have the battery time indicator back? If not, can they please not remove it from Activity Monitor? Such a basic feature, gone for no reason.

And desktops on UPS batteries, assuming they're attached via USB
Seriously, this was a feature I found one day. It's cool.

Just get f.lux - it has features that macOS NightShift doesn't, like app white lists and postponing shifts.
