What if all my best memories are filthy, negative, sad, or provocative?

Apple is killing me on these slow, late, or never refreshes on higher-end desktops. I was stuck on a Mac Pro 2010 until 2022, because the 2013. Mac Pro didn’t meet my needs for expansion and ports, then I was waiting on used 2019 Mac Pro deal, when they moved to ARM, then I could wait any longer for the ARM Mac Pro, so I had to settle for a Studio. I was hoping to get an M2 Mac Pro 2nd hand after an M3 or M4 refresh, but It’s looking like I’m Going to be stuck on a Mac Studio until at least 2026 or 2027.

Awesome subject! However, this is not the best way to run OS 9 on a Mac. Sheepshaver is significantly better in both features and stability. Although, will run 9.0.4, as a whole, it’s much better  

Apple kills me with the lack of computer emulation on the iPad.. If they really wanted to, they could work out a way to sandbox JIT and the hypervisor. Either way, it’s perfectly fine and secure on a Mac, it’ll be perfectly fine on an iPad too. it can just be an extra layer. You have to turn on, with all a bunch of warnings. I’d even be willing to hook the iPad up to a Mac and use Configurator to turn on the option, but I really need JIT and hypervisor..I’m currently using a paid developer account to do it through AltStore. It’s a bit of pain in the butt having to re-sync at the AltStore after every reboot, but it works perfectly fine, doesn’t present any true security issues that matter to me  

I think Cook is a good CEO, and I think he’s an operational genius. The article fails to mention how much he actually contributed to Apple when he first came on board, which I feel are even more contributions than anything. He’s done a CEO. He made Apple and incredibly tight running company regarding product inventory. 

Having used the new MacBooks Pros, and seeing the specs, I can guarantee the display on the MacBook Pros are significantly better. Especially is you install Vivid to unlock the full 100-nit brightness for day to day use. Otherwise, the Macs are probably better to have for just about anything, unless you're trying to play a high end Windows-specific game that is too much to run inside Parallels or VMware.

It took Apple 4 years and 5 or 6 models (plus additional variations) for the Mac to overtake Apple II in sales. I personally think it took Apple to the Mac Plus before the Mac was truly usable for enough people to be considered a success, and the SE/30 before the compact Mac was really “powerful”. 

I would love to see an Apple Silicon server chip sent in the Mac Pro. That would be huge for AI / ML development. Mac Pro already offers a rackmount variant. 

Apple has been making it harder to want to use a Mac. Bootable backups have been a great way to quickly recover from a crippling hardware or software issuer. Now we don’t reliably have that. They also a great way to test software and new OS releases against your current setup.

I wonder if it's going to Wi-Fi tank performance, like the other docs and accessories are doing to the M4 mini. I would not buy this until I saw reviews.
