Some good apps for mac.

Well...

Vmware Fusion

Perian (Codecs)

Flip4Mac (WMV support)

Growl (notifications)

NTFS-3G (NTFS driver for mac)

Macfuse (needed for NTFS driver)

Cyberduck (FTP)

TextWrangler (better text editor)

SMCfancontrol (cool down those macbooks)

Caffiene (keep the computer awake)

InsomniaX (keep computer awake when lid is closed)

AppCleaner (remove apps and all their system files)

UnrarX (rar support)

Roxio Toast (burning software)

Most of those are essential to my mac and I would recommend them to everyone.

The best download manager of all, atleast for me: Gigaget. I don't think it gets updated anymore but it has a huge increase of speed for me which otehrs don't Like up to 10x

I'd strongly recommend the KMPlayer. It looks amazing with the default skin (ignore the one on the download website), and plays just about everything with it's own codecs! No need to download moar. :p
It's also got just about everything you'd want from a video player, including masses of settings and options that you may want to mess around with (though the default is perfect for me; I sometimes adjust subtitle size for Fullmetal Alchemist).

All added.

And, to make it more clearer, I add applications that were recommended by members, whether they are proprietary or freeware. As long as they are useful, they will be up there, along with the others.

KMPlayer is a video player, not an audio player.

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
