Hi, I have been learning PencilKit, and playing around with the code sample from the WWDC20 talk #10148: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10148/ Read the forum: https://developer.apple.com/forums/tags/wwdc20-10148 and as much documentation as I could ... But I haven't found an API in PencilKit to use ... to convert typed text (with a selected font-face ... say Times New Roman) --> into a PKDrawing stroke path ... Think Adobe Illustrator where you can select typed text, with a font-face ... and then choose to convert it into a path ... strokes ... And I would like to do the same operation with the typed text, with a font-face ... but into a PKDrawing canvas instead ... as a stroke path ... So I can get access to the stroke data ... and manipulate it with the pen ... And I don't want to manually hand draw letter shapes in "Times New Roman" face ... or "Verdana" :-) ... like the Apple dev that wrote the sample code: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/650272 That is ... defenitly not the route I'd like to go down ... Has someone any Idea how ... maybe ... I can "trace" a font-faced-text into PKDrawing strokes? :-) cheers, Daniel.

Hi, I'm getting this error code "-21" ... anyone know what it means? cantCreateSession("Native session create failed: CPGReturn(rawValue: -21) 2021-07-17 14:01:29.621817+0200 HelloPhotogrammetry[2578:40148] [HelloPhotogrammetry] Using configuration: Configuration(isObjectMaskingEnabled: true, sampleOrdering: RealityFoundation.PhotogrammetrySession.Configuration.SampleOrdering.unordered, featureSensitivity: RealityFoundation.PhotogrammetrySession.Configuration.FeatureSensitivity.normal) 2021-07-17 14:01:29.669711+0200 HelloPhotogrammetry[2578:40148] Metal API Validation Enabled 2021-07-17 14:01:29.709715+0200 HelloPhotogrammetry[2578:40148] [HelloPhotogrammetry] Error creating session: cantCreateSession("Native session create failed: CPGReturn(rawValue: -21)") Program ended with exit code: 1

Hi, I have a MacPro, and am looking to buy a Sapphire AMD RX 580 8GB GPU. (Since my PowerColor R9 280X 3GB is just shy of the minimum 4GB requirement...) And I'm wondering, what if I bought two RX 580's? Would Object Capture take advantage of a dual gpu setup? ... and if so, would it increase the performance? PS. Just to clarify - I don't want / not talking about doing a Dual-Link / CrossFire setup (since that practice is kinda "dead"...) ... just wondering if Object Capture would recognise "aaah, there are two identical GPUs in the system, lets use both..."

Hi, I see that in macOS 12 (running 12.1), there is a new setting in Network preferences pane: System Preferences --> Network --> Ethernet --> Limit IP Address Tracking Limit IP address tracking by hiding your IP address from known trackers in Mail and Safari. What does it actually do? I tried searching the web, but it seems like this quite new and nothing is written about this new feature.

Dear Apple, I use Little Snitch (An application firewall) to manage exactly what websites/domains apps should be allowed internet access. And which sites shouldn't have any access. Like in Safari or Mail ... I don't grand access to hostnames that include anything that can be derived to have an association to "Tracking" ... say: Little Snitch works like a charm. Or to say: It works until you don't enable "iCloud Private Relay". With iCloud Private Relay turned on, it circumvents Little Snitch granting access to every site/hostname without checking with my "Application Firewall" - if it's allowed to have access to said site or not. I guess this is because iCPR is 1st in the hierarchy over Little Snitch. And it makes sense. If you don't have an Application Firewall running ... you want iCPR to be the 1st to intercept all connection activities. But for us who do have an Application Firewall ... it doesn't. I wish to go into "Set Service Order" and drag Little Snitch to be 1st in this list ... then iCPR ... and then Ethernet 1 ... etc etc. This way, I could 1st block any access to any "Tracking site" ... don't even let the app connect to it! Since, why should they even have my data? Any data about me?! ... Even if it "anonymised", it's best to not give them any data at all. Null ... zilch! :-) Could you please add/tweak this "Set Service Order" to allow/grant us, the users to choose how we would like to filter our connections. cheers, Daniel

Hi, I've installed Monterey Beta 1 .... and then did an OTA update to MR B2. After the update to MR B2 ... I've started to get this "Volume Hash Mismatch" in my notification center ... I've tried to reboot into Recovery, and do a "First Aid" an all volumes in my MacBook Air's ssd ... But this message still re-appears. Any idea why this happens? or a fix? cheers, Daniel.
