I work for the largest?Property?Casualty insurance company in the U.S. ?We?have been in lockdown for weeks, most all?associates from Corporate to Underwriting, Claims, and Agents have been working from home¡.the logistics for the IT department?garnering enough?bandwidth has been a challenge.
Many aspects to daily activities have been a challenge, below is a small clip from our President explaining how one?problem they had in communicating the companies help to the public was handled with an iPhone. ?
State?Farm is?returning 2 Billion dollars to the policyholders but they?could not use the traditional method of producing a film to communicate to the public, so they have a National TV ad that was done in house with an iPhone¡.I¡¯ve seen it, the newbie¡¯s did a good job.
¡°New Approaches:?On more than one occasion someone has told me we¡¯re trying something different because what we¡¯ve always done before simply won¡¯t work. For instance, we produced two national television advertisements in just eight working days. Normally it would take far longer. And I can attest that one of them was truly shot on an iPhone.¡±
Another advantage of Photo over iPhoto are photos with editing. The old iPhoto would save another photo with the adjustments, so more disk space was eaten. Photos saves the adjustments only which are a fraction of a duplicate photo.

I agree with Lee.
Forbes should go to nearly a design museum in Italy. There is a always a huge number of really cool-looking completely impractical things like that chair. The things that look great but were once practical are often typewriters and radios.
Hi Anne,
I know what you mean. We have an HP 8610 as well. We've had it
about 5 years or so, and it runs with Catalina OS. Every now and
then it won't print. For some reason it has gone to sleep to save
power (I guess), but then it won't wake up until I turn it off and
turn it on again. I've read this is a common problem for which
they have no solution that I know of. Right now, it still operates
well enough,even with this glitch. That's because it sits right
next to my desk, and I can reach the on/off button with the letter
opener. :-)
Did your printer ever work with Mojave? If so, did
you happen to update the printer driver? And if so, did it stop
working well with the new driver? That happened to me a few
years ago. I went into time machine and pulled out the former
printer driver and replaced the new one and everything works
fine.
If that¡¯s the case with you let me know and I¡¯ll
tell see if I can figure out where the files are for you.
I have an HP Photosmart 7525 that¡¯s several years old. It worked
well with El Capitan and still works with Catalina so I guess it
would work with other OS¡¯ in-between. I also have a Brother
HL-6180DW laser printer that works with those systems. Good luck
with your search.

I have three Epson printers that run under Mojave,
Epson WF-4530
Epson WF-100 for portable take with me printing
Epson WF-4730
When Apple was in the darkest of times HP pulled out, stopped making printers for the Mac community, Epson stayed with us, so I¡¯ll not have an HP printer.
Also, I can¡¯t remember the name or phrase but HP printers had a nickname due to all the viruses they introduced to our networks¡by now that may have been corrected.
I have no problems with any of them under the last several OS systems.
Apple, Google Bring Covid-19 Contact-Tracing to 3 Billion People
?for our daily coronavirus newsletter on what you need to know, and??for the latest news and analysis.
Apple Inc.?and Google unveiled a rare partnership to add technology to their smartphone platforms that will alert users if they have come into contact with a person with Covid-19. People must opt in to the system, but it has the potential to monitor about a third of the world¡¯s population.
The technology, known as contract-tracing, is designed to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus by telling users they should quarantine or isolate themselves after contact with an infected individual.
The Silicon Valley rivals said on Friday that they are building the technology into their iOS and Android operating systems in two steps. In mid-May, the companies will add the ability for iPhones and Android phones to wirelessly exchange anonymous information via apps run by public health authorities. The companies will also release frameworks for public health apps to manage the functionality.
This means that if a user tests positive for Covid-19, and adds that data to their public health app, users who they came into close proximity with over the previous several days will be notified of their contact. This period could be 14 days, but health agencies can set the time range.
The second step takes longer. In the coming months, both companies will add the technology directly into their operating systems so this contact-tracing software works without having to download an app. Users must opt in, but this approach means many more people can be included. Apple¡¯s iOS and Google¡¯s Android have about 3 billion users between them, over a third of the world¡¯s population.
The pandemic has?killed almost 100,000?and infected 1.62 million people. Governments have ordered millions of people to stay home, sending the global economy into a vicious tailspin. Pressure is building to?and get the world back to work. Contract-tracing is a key part of this because it can help authorities contain a potential resurgence of the virus as people resume regular activities.
Still, this technology is controversial because it involves sharing sensitive health information from billions of people via mobile devices that are constantly broadcasting their location. Apple and Google stressed on Friday that their system preserves users¡¯ privacy. Consent is required and location data is not collected. The technology also won¡¯t notify users who they came into contact with, or where that happened. The companies said they can¡¯t see this data either, and?noted?that the whole system can be shut down when needed.
Such a close partnership between these longtime rivals is extremely rare. The technology giants have competed in smartphone operating systems, app stores, media services, and voice-recognition technology for years -- while trading barbs over the privacy of each others¡¯ platforms. However, both companies have been under pressure to use their prodigious resources to help fight the pandemic.
¡°All of us at Apple and Google believe there has never been a more important moment to work together to solve one of the world¡¯s most pressing problems,¡± the companies said in a joint statement.
The contract-tracing technology isn¡¯t the first step against Covid-19 for either company. Google launched an information website in March, while Apple has released its own screening tools for iPhone users. Apple has also donated over 20 million masks to health-care workers and has designed face shields, and Verily, a unit of Google parent?Alphabet Inc., is running virus-testing sites in some parts of California.
Other organizations are also working on contact-tracing. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology earlier this week??plans for a similar system. Some countries and third-party developers have also tried implementing contact-tracing on phones, but they have faced privacy and connectivity issues that the new system is designed to avoid.

Have fun, just don't hold your breath. I've reported bugs in software for years through the developers' channel, and have almost always received a 'marked as duplicate', but I've pretty much never seen any fixes.
