On first boot the setup assistant will ask if you want to enable Optimized Storage.
Full-drive encryption is not here yet (at least for APFS).
Turns out it only works like that in Safari 9.1.1/El Capitan when the link originates in a pinned tab, not a normal one. My mistake.

If you long press (or maybe force press) Safari's '+' to add tabs, it will show you recently closed tabs...that's very useful when you go ninja on all your closed tabs a little to aggressively.
We're talking about the Mac here.This has been in iOS 9 already.
Well just because you echo an opinion thrown around loudly a lot, doesn't mean you're talking about the 'average user'. The average user doesn't know what the feature is and Apple could do a better job explaining it. But 5GB is enough to demo the service and manage for most people. The problem comes when someone hasn't bothered to follow up on the 'iCloud Storage Full' message. It's an education problem, not a problem with the service. And besides, it's a service, not a right. Plenty of people back up using their computers too. Plenty of people also know that their contacts etc on iCloud are fine, their work emails are stored on a server and they either don't care about other stuff on the phone, or assume that IT have them covered.
If a user doesn't want to pay for a feature they don't understand, that's fine. As I said, Apple could probably do a better job of explaining it. But most people are wilfully ignorant of warning messages and just tap to ignore them. But let's suppose Apple educated people about the service better. Now the customer understands it and is demanding more for free. 79p/99c a month for 50GB to keep all your photos and contacts safe is nothing and no one is forcing anyone to pay for it. And really, thinking about how much the phone cost and all the time and effort put in to gathering the photos and contacts etc on there, it's simply stupid idea NOT to pay for the 50GB storage tier. When someone loses all their stuff, they'll suddenly realise that 79p/99c service is something they suddenly learn the value of. If you choose not to do it, or even to share your Apple ID to give friends and/or family free stuff (again, nowhere does it say you have there right to not pay for software just because someone else would like it too), then your free 5GB is going to get eaten up pretty quickly. And again, it's not Apple's problem.
If a user is informed and educated and chooses not to pay for that feature, then they don't get that feature. It's not really that hard. Stop thinking people have a right to free stuff just because people would REALLY like free stuff.
Excuse me, I was a little overwhelmed by the different topics I'm getting notified about. xD
Sorry, this is indeed new to the Mac.
I think that they sort of implied in the keynote that iMessage on the Mac would be able to receive those types of messages but that it wouldn't be able to send them, at least not yet. Not sure if that's totally true or what would be included. For instance, I kind of wouldn't expect the full screen effects to go off on the Mac. Maybe just within the window?
I'm not completely sure on these details as I don't have anyone to test these features out with at the moment. I'd be interested to see what other's have experienced.
I just tried and no, you cannot. When holding CMD and clicking it just opens NC like normal. I can understand wanting the option to move it but it does kind of make sense for it to be on the far right considering that clicking it will put your cursor over where it slides in already.
Thanks for checking! I hide it anyway through the bartender app. But it was quite difficult to hide it, including deactivating sip. I hoped it would get a little easier, so that bartender will still include the hiding option. I always trigger NC by swiping from the right of the trackpad, so i don't use the button.
I'm seeing a bit of weirdness with the whole storage optimization. I installed macOS Sierra on a 2012 rMBP with a 756GB SSD. On that drive, the only drive attached to my rMBP, I currently have 586GB free (of the 756GB total). My iCloud drive currently has over 14GB free... yet I continue to be prompted with this alert:
If I click on the Manage link, I see the "manage" screen referencing the SSD, and showing 586GB of 756GB free.
Anyone seeing anything similar?

Can anyone verify in Photos if batch editing of adjustments works. To be clear, I am not talking about Ctrl-I and changing locations.
I mean like changing white white balance on one photo in adjustments, copying, then pasting to multiple photos at once.

Anyone noticed that the installer asks you if the installation package can be removed? Nice little feature.
I wonder if there is the option to sort Spotlight results in Sierra by dragging them around in preferences.
It was unfortunately removed in El Capitan.

It is not coming out before 2017, and no, you can most certainly not use it for anything now.
Yeah I know it sucks but there is no option like that. So editing batch is a real pain atm
I think I saw an option for this in TinkerTool or Onyx. But I am not 100% sure and can't launch both of them at the moment because there is no version for Sierra yet. You could try it in El Capitan. Both are for free. With Onyx you should be a little careful what you do in there. TinkerTool is harmless and just can enable some "hidden" functions for what you normally need some Terminal command. Onyx does basically the same but is a little more powerful and has some features in it that you only should use if you know exactly what you are doing.
