Using AppleScript To Size A Window To 16×9 On MacOS
As part of an automation workflow I’m building around Elgato Stream Deck, I needed a way to size an application window to 16×9. This would be one component of a workflow that would allow me to launch an app, size the window, position it on the screen, and hide all the other windows with the push of a Stream Deck button.
The easy part was the Stream Deck configuration. The hard part was the AppleScript–I had never written one.
The Script
This AppleScript is crude, but it’s a start. I explain what the script is doing using inline comments, which in AppleScript are noted by the leading double-hyphens, although pound signs and (* *) delimiters for multi-line comments are also supported.
---------------------------------------------------------- -- SET VARIABLES ---------------------------------------------------------- -- theApp = name of the app MacOS will act upon set theApp to "ApplicationName" -- appWidth = how many pixels wide we'd like the window -- appHeight is calculated as a 16:9 ratio of "appWidth" -- Note that "as integer" means decimal portions of a -- calculation are truncated. set appWidth to 1600 set appHeight to appWidth / 16 * 9 as integer -- screenWidth = display pixel width -- screenHeight = Continue reading

3 Ways to Learn More About Intrinsic Security at RSAC 2020
Last year, we introduced powerful new innovations that make networking more secure and intrinsic to your infrastructure. These innovations included our Service-defined Firewall and introduction of optional distributed intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS).
At RSAC 2020, VMware is making it easy to learn how intrinsic security can benefit your business with opportunities to engage us in 1:1 conversations, view demos and more.
Here are 3 ways that you can learn more about intrinsic security at RSAC 2020.
1.) Join Tom Gillis’ Breakout session: Unshackle Legacy Security Restrictions for 2020 and Beyond
Tom Gillis, SVP/GM of Networking and Security at VMware, will be speaking at the RSA Conference in a breakout session. His session covers data center and branch security approaches and will feature demos across the VMware security portfolio including NSX Data Center, VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer, and VMware SD-WAN.
Be sure to reserve a seat for his session!
2.) Meet with VMware Security Executives
Schedule an exclusive conversation with a security executive to discuss how intrinsic security for your network and workloads can enable proactive security that’s easy to operationalize.
