It’s discounted more than the price of the maxed out MacPro as well, @ankii

This seems like someone will know exactly what the blue flag with white piping is...

Q: What is this blue arrow and how do I get rid of it?

UnitasBrooks On macOS this arrow just appears, and overlays on top of any window. How can I get rid of it?

I calibrated the color on my mac display. It looks nicer but I'm not sure if its accurate. How can I tell the accuracy of a display?

@JBis How much do you want to spend and what is your measure of accuracy?
And more importantly - are you willing to rest your eyes to tell you something is red for this exercise?

@bmike Just my current MBP display (none). I don't know. What ever the industry standard of display color accuracy for photo and video editing ?
@bmike Don't really understand but that link is pretty cool.

Well - we spend $3k for a physical calibrator that measures color chips, readouts like a lab would have calibrated items. For most people, getting the white point correct is what they mean by "accurate color"

Without a million bucks to spend, I get by with a i1Display Pro* & a ColorChecker Passport [maybe $350 total spend]. I don't need in-house printer or scanner accuracy, I let other people worry about that & order out.
*I've tried cheaper, they aren't good enough. I have 2 old colorimeters, a Huey & a Smile that just weren't up to the task.

Q: SSH port forwarding not working in macos catalina (10.15)

mreppySomething in macOS Catalina (10.15.1) is interfering with ssh port forwarding (needed for localhost debugging and developing against a web server system deployed in AWS). I assume something with the enhanced security features, but I've been unable to figure out what from searching and poking a...

@Tetsujin DataColor has some very reasonable ones, I’m impressed with their value if you don’t go big bucks - spyderx.datacolor.com
