Hey smart #Mac people: Is there a way to tell #TimeMachine to not backup every hour while sleeping? Seems a bit aggressive. Every 6 or 12 hours seems more reasonable for my needs

Alex Isakov explains his design for a #TimeMachine on Medium.com: GYRO 6DoF. Regular #gyroscopes have freedom in some #axes but are constrained in others.

Time Machine …
It seems that you can travel through time in the year 2550. I wish you both all the best and maybe we will meet in the future …

Instructions for Building Your First Time Machine

To the one that build this freaking cool timemachine at #38C3 : thank you.

I was too late to play it, but from what I had seen, this was just an incredible crazy idea. And it looked like so much work (not 100, but 1000 hours of work). Wow!

It made me really sad to see, that people just broke it. I dont know, why people cant be careful with such stuff. This made me realize again, why we cant have nice things.

I hope, you sir, can repair it (more or less easily) and place it somewhere, where people worth it (which doesnt seem to be people from CCC/38C3)

Photo wasnt made by me.

Question for macOS enthusiasts: I run a Time Machine backup via my wifi network, so every hour I get a backup. Awesome yes? Well..

Every time it makes a backup, the MacBook briefly struggles a bit with basic tasks like browsing and playback of video. Somewhat amazing how Apple didn't optimise for this scenario and this happens with an M2 device, but I guess since they quit selling Time Capsules, it's not on their radar anymore.

Is there a way to tell Time Machine to make a backup every, like, three hours? It's a workaround, but it would lower my annoyance.

Upgraded my M1 #mac to Sequoia 15.2 today. Now #TimeMachine is failing. Error message is "Time Machine did not finish backing up because some files were unavailable. Backups will resume when your Mac is unlocked."
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

❛❛ every time-traveling #movie … has played on a universal, if vain, human desire to experience a #world that's entirely unavailable to us — and perhaps to change things in our own.

Though most would cite #HGWells's 1895 novel 'The #TimeMachine' as the progenitor of the modern time-travel story, the author wrote an even earlier one, "The Chronic Argonauts," in 1888. ❜❜
