Set up time machine, set up time machine, set up time machine!

Also, Humanity made progress with the elimination of mechanical storage devices, now my concern is the latest PCIE4 NVME drives life degrade much faster than their SATA counterparts.
Here is my 16-month-old Samsung 980 pro:

Compared to my 6-year-old 850 Evo SATA:

There is a flip side. I used to help out at an art school. Students would occasionally lose all their work (video editing mainly, through throwing away the wrong files) but I would reassure them…

It’s a lot faster the second time round. :innocent:

best to learn the hard lesson in school where you don’t get fired for learning it OTJ.

I was one of those students. Lost months worth of a PhD when 2 hard drives failed.

However, I suspect that when students get to companies, they won’t find they’re relying on TimeMachine for backups, but rather a cloud based backup like Box, GoogleDrive, Dropbox etc.

Sadly, these are not super compatible with Rhino for Mac, as versions won’t save that data in the cloud, just locally. Meaning if your hard drive fails, or you switch computer, you’ve no access to the versions at all. Windows users get to ‘save incrementally’, with 001,002 files all saving to the cloud. Mac users are out of luck on that front.

I see Rhino 8 has an experimental ‘disable Versions’, but it doesn’t inspire confidence the way it’s described, and I gather is doesn’t enable a feature like incremental saving that Windows users have.

carbonite works well with a mac- it’s what I use personally.

what do we do with boolean on Mac, because it cuts out but not the full width of the piece, so for example, I’m trying to cut out a piece but say its 2:$ ratio it cuts out a 2:3 ratio and the cut out isn’t big enough, and how do you remove the other piece with the cut staying?

Please start a new thread with your question, this is not the correct topic. Also include a Rhino file with your starting point and a description of what you are trying to do that is not working.
