VLC Media Player 3.0.5 is a bug fix release that fixes several issues in the player and updates libraries that the media player uses; these updates include patches for minor security issues according to the changelog.

The new version improves ChromeCast support and updates support for YouTube. While YouTube support is not as good as it is, another popular player for media files, it is still an integral part of VLC Media Player. VLC users can select Media > Open Network Stream to play YouTube videos by pasting YouTube video URLs in the location field. Here is a quick rundown of the most important changes in the release: • Runtime hardening enabled on Mac OS X devices. • All external VLC plugins need to be signed with a 'DeveloperID certificate' to continue working with VLC on Mac OS. • Blu-Ray menu and seeking improvements. • New AV1 decoder based on dav1d library; also AV1 demuxing improvements and AV1 packetizer.

• Libaom decoder enabled by default. • Hardware decoding disabled on 'some' older Intel GPUs. • Direct3D fixes and improvements.

Closing Words VLC 3.0.5 is no major update by any stretch but it is still suggested to upgrade older versions of the media player to the new one since it includes updated libraries and other improvements.

Microsoft OneNote| The digital note-taking app for your. Microsoft onenote for mac doesn load visual basic. It's quite nice when it works. It does work on the Windows version of OneNote. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work on the Mac version of OneNote. We can paste in graphics, but no OCR ever occurs. If the OneNote notebook was opened by the Windows version of OneNote, that version of OneNote will do OCR on the graphic. Sign out of OneNote and then sign back in. On the menu bar, click OneNote >Sign Out. When you have successfully signed out, click OneNote > Sign In. Close and then re-open the notebook. On the menu bar, click File > Close This Notebook. To reopen the notebook, click File > Open Recent, and then click the notebook you want to re-open. Unfortunately, the MAC version of EverNote doesn't have Import Microsoft OneNote option and MAC OneNote doesn't have an export option. No, it still doesn't work for me (now on version 15.39). I tried opening an existing notebook - didn't work. I tried creating a new notebook - see image. I checked online to see if it was misreported but it definitely didn't sync. I'm using OneNote via a web browser now which isn't ideal.
