@amahnke @ZT01ZG Ugh. Gone through the normal troubleshooting stuff? support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204098
@amahnke Yeah, there may be less enormous ways, but that’s the only “official” one that springs to mind. (Tried disabling Extensions?)
@amahnke …even if you’re already on 10.11.4. But please don’t curse me if you spend ages installing it and it doesn’t fix things :)
@amahnke Well, it’s bloody huge, but I *think* you shuold be able to apply the latest Combo Update: support.apple.com/kb/DL1869?loca… …

@uliwitness In hindsight, I was right, back in 2006. I wanted Unix but with music-making tools & multimedia that really worked, & I got it.
@uliwitness It would actually tempt me back. Being able to drop to a familiar powerful shell was a factor in my leaving Windows for OS X.
If they make Windows font rendering better I may be tempted back. OSX used to be much nicer, but just finding it too unreliable now.
windowsdev Windows 10 now has support for Bash and the universe of open source command line tools. #Build2016 pic.twitter.com/5KeBeVg0wU
@uliwitness Are they replacing? (Personally, I’ve been using bash for decades but found PowerShell impenetrable, so that works for me!)
@jakepjohnson Yeah, and that’s just the asking price.
@danbarker *raises eyebrow*
@danbarker …but thanks for pointing it out; I misse@ememessss’s The Intruders, and closing down sale has it for £2.49. Bargain!
@danbarker *Looks puzzled* Why is it selling Scott & Bailey? That’s an ITV show.
@jbrownridge And for only a smidge over a quarter of a million. Sigh.
