Fine, I won’t buy any Xbox One games online. It had always worked fine on my 360, but on the Xbox One, the store suddenly stopped accepting my Swiss credit card. I first noticed that something was wrong when I was unable to buy games on my Xbox One. At some point during that time, something must have gone wrong, because that account is now effectively broken. I’ve had a single Microsoft account for a long time, starting way back when it was called Microsoft Passport. This is probably not OneDrive’s fault, but as it turned out, my screwed up Microsoft account kind of affected OneDrive, too. «Hi there, it’s me, 1994! Remember me? Yeah, I’m fine too! Look, I’m just calling to tell you, that… uh… you still have my file name restrictions? Can I have them back please?» Problem 4: My Microsoft Account For example, you can’t start files with a space, something a lot of people do to move files to the top of alphabetical lists. OneDrive has some crazy restrictions on file names. So for every single file that had a path that was too long, I had to set up OneDrive from scratch, including going through two-factor auth. This, as it turned out, was the case for quite a few files. To add insult to injury, every time OneDrive encounters a file whose path is too long, it just shuts itself down and completely erases all of its settings. A lot of files that were syncronized just fine in BitTorrent Sync or Dropbox no longer work in OneDrive. OneDrive restricts the path length of its files severely. I don’t really want to mess with the system I rely on to synchronize files between my computers. AppTamer fixes this problem, but then, I’m not sure what throttling does to OneDrive. OneDrive consistently sits at around 100% CPU usage. Problem 1: CPUĮver since I’ve started using OneDrive, my MacBook Pro’s fan has been on at its highest level constantly. But right now, Microsoft has the best offer by far, and I trust their ability to create stable cloud infrastructure more than I trust most other companies. I really like SpiderOak, which I used previously and always worked well for me. Since it doesn’t have a real file version history, I decided to switch back to a hosted file synchronization solution. But recently, I had some issues with it, when it repeatedly overwrote a file with an older version of itself.

Ps: I will soon upgrade to one of the latest 16-inch MacBooks and report my experiences there.I’ve been using BitTorrent Sync for a while, because I like the idea of keeping my files on my own computers. Still unsure if VMware Fusion (Pro) is currently usable as a serious development tool (as I intended to use it for), usage for occasional (and intentional) startup of some guest-os should be ok (for now?). Terminal output inside the VM verifies %CPU-column as idle (0%) for _all_ processes, ActivityMonitor at the bottom shows a Host CPU-Load for vmware-vmx of around 80% continuousely which massively drains the battery and heats the MacBook in idle state (dreaming of a local cluster with 2-4 lightweight unix-servers - would eventually burn down my machine?). The below sreenshot shows a very minimal FreeBSD-VM with OpenStep4.2 installed.ġ CPU and 128MB(!) of Memory is assigned (more than enough for that operating-system!), no graphics acceleration.

Running MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013), 16G RAM, Catalina 10.15.2. VMware menu-item disabled, tried the described OpenGL-fix without success.

Using VMware Fusion Professional Version 11.5.1 (15018442) here, problem with excessive cpu load still persists.
