According to a source, Grande, 23, always wanted to marry at a young age, reports aceshowbiz.com. “Ariana has always wanted to be married by 25, and Mac checks all of her boxes,” the source told Life & Style magazine.

“She thinks he’s cute and sexy, and he makes her laugh all the time,” the source added.

According to the insider, the couple is moving fast due to their compatibility.
“Mac and Ariana have a lot in common. They’re both from the East Coast, close to their families, and love a lot of the same music, TV shows, and films,” the source said.

“They would love to be outdoors, on an island, surrounded by a dozen bridesmaids and groomsmen. She wants a one-of-a-kind designer dress, white with diamonds, off the shoulder, with a veil, and the longest train ever. And she wants Mac in a white tux,” the source explained.

Evernote has confirmed in an email to its users that a serious bug in some versions of its Mac OS app has resulted in “a small number” of users losing their data. The bug is causing images and attachments to be deleted from the email, though text remains unaffected. This is good news for anyone who only uses text, but it is less great for anyone whose text requires images for context.

Not every Evernote Mac user experiences the bug, as it only appears in the software version released in September and less frequently in the versions released since June. Even within these versions, the glitch only seems to be triggered “under specific conditions” of use, such as skimming through many notes.

Buggin’ out

Evernote recommends that all users who receive the warning email immediately update to version 6.9.1, released in October, to avoid losing their data. You can update to the latest version from within the app by clicking on the ‘Check for Updates’ option in the ‘Help’ section, through the Mac App Store, or even through the Evernote website itself.

For those who have already lost data, Evernote has tried to implement a solution to restore it, but unfortunately, it’s impossible to fix all attachments automatically. In this case, Evernote suggests the possibility of accessing these lost attachments through the note history feature in its Premium service, Add Crazy.

Not every user affected by the issue is signed up to use the service’s premium paid version. In light of this, the company has decided to offer all affected users a year of free access to Evernote Premium to give them a chance of getting their data back.

The bug might have only impacted a few of Evernote’s users, but it’s still not great for the company. Considering that many people use note-taking apps to store important information related to their work and education, the knowledge that there’s even a risk of data loss could easily drive them to another service with a stronger reputation.

Apple announced that the macOS Sierra would be released in June, and it will start rolling out to compatible devices today, i.e., on Sep 20 at 10:30 PM I.S.T.

This announcement comes right after Tim Cook unveiled the iPhone 7, the iPhone 7 Plus, and the Apple Watch: Series 2 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco on Wednesday.

OS X is now macOS Sierra

After 16 years of service, Apple finally retired the name O.S.X. in favor of MacOS to streamline its naming strategy. The unique names remain, though, and this version will be called ‘Sierra.’ macOS Sierra brings many new features and changes. Siri’s introduction on the Mac is the most important of them, and the one we have all been waiting for a long time.

Additionally, macOS Sierra includes the ability to use Apple Pay through Safari, a raft of updates to Continuity, and the ability to unlock your Mac using your Apple Watch.

Supported Devices

MacBook (late 2009 and after), iMac (late 2009 and later), MacBook Air (2010 and later), MacBook Pro (2010 and later), Mac Mini (2010 and later), and Mac Pro (2010 and later).

However, not all of these devices will take advantage of all the features of MacOS Sierra, partly due to their age and partly due to planned obsolescence.

To enjoy the full macOS Sierra experience, you need to be running these Macs:
Mac Pro (late 2012 or newer), iMac (late 2012 or newer), Mac mini (late 2012 or newer), MacBook Pro (mid-2012 or newer), MacBook (Early 2015 or newer), MacBook Air (mid-2012 or newer)

Install requirements

Your Mac must be running OS X 10.7.5 or later.
You’ll need 2 GB of memory.
You’ll need 8.8GB of available storage.
To use iCloud, iTunes, and the Mac App Store, you will also need an Apple ID.
Release Date
September 20, 10:30 PM I.S.T.
New Features
Siri on the Mac!

Mac OS Sierra brings a couple of new features, the most important of which is Siri integration. Apple might be late to the game, with Windows 10 bringing in Cortana in 2015, but Apple promises powerful Siri integration across the operating system.

It will be available in the dock and the top-right corner near the spotlight, and you can search the web and the computer, find photos, answer questions, set up reminders, and so on. Apple also highlighted how Siri can understand the context and follow-up questions in a conversation string.
Mac OS Sierra also allows users to use Apple Pay through Safari. As the current generation of Mac

Hardware lacks touch; users will authenticate their transactions through an iPhone or Apple Watch.
Apple Pay is available only in the U.S.A., U.K., Singapore, Canada, and Australia, though Apple is working hard to increase its coverage of Alie Nation.

Apple also introduced a way for users to unlock their Macs seamlessly by using their Apple Watch for authentication and to free up space on their Macs by moving old and unused files to the cloud. Apple could bundle in higher-capacity SSDs, but that’s another story altogether.

Updates to Continuity

In addition, macOS Sierra focuses on interoperability across devices or continuity. Sierra introduces a Universal Clipboard feature, where users can copy and paste content across all Apple devices. For example, one can copy text on the iPhone and then paste that text anywhere on their Mac!
Continuing its ‘continuity’ theme, macOS Sierra will also allow you to share your desktop across devices and save it to the cloud.

Should you upgrade?

A new update always carries the possibility of bugs, compatibility issues with current applications, and other issues.

However, I have been using the beta for quite a while now, and it’s been going great. MacOS Sierra has also been in testing for quite a while. Still, I recommend taking a full TimeMachine backup of your Mac before installing Sierra.

How to Install?

At 10:30 PM on September 20, go to App Store > Updates, click on the Sierra update, and you’re good to go!
