With extensive refactoring in the code to display logs extracts, this update should be faster and require less memory on all supported versions of macOS.
Overnight, Apple has pushed two updates, to the data files used by XProtect, bringing its version number to […]
How can it take over 5 hours to back up 79 GB of files to a network share? That’s an average transfer rate of 4 MB/s, probably slower than your Internet connection.

The first full backup is performed as a manual backup, and largely occurs in file-by-file copying from source to the backup store. It is more efficient than to HFS+, but differences could be less than 10%.
Addresses problems with time formatting, so you should now be able to use Ulbow with a Buddhist calendar, 12-hour clock, set to summer time in Mongolia.
Using EtreCheckPro to identify periods of high CPU, then exploring those in the log using Ulbow. A short and simple workthrough.
Should now be fully compatible with all locales, calendars, and with both 12- and 24-hour clocks.
