Join me tonight for the Weekly Mac-Forums Video Chat. 7:00 p.m. as usual. You don't need anything special installed to watch but you do need the Google Talk plugin if you want to participate.
Tonight's chat will include an overview of OS X security improvements through the years (including SIP introduced in El Capitan. It will be quick and painless I assure you. I'll include some thoughts on the use of firewalls, as well as a roundup of other happenings on the forum. Our tips section will include how to make Mail do subscripts and superscripts. More tips, Apple news and whatever else comes to mind. See you there.
