  • Apple breaks the Mac App Store for macOS Sierra users

    boboliciousbobolicious
    "It was in the following release, macOS High Sierra, that Apple made the switch to only 64-bit apps. This meant that older 32-bit software could no longer be used from this 2018 update or later."

    I understand Mojave was the last macOS to support 32 bit apps...  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS

  • How to fix System Data filling your iPhone's storage

    boboliciousbobolicious
    ... does all of this feed into a mandate to prioritize shareholders and profit (vs serving the customer first) by quietly bloating both iOS and APFS to fill 'onboard' storage that prevents upgrades and raising OEM storage prices in some cases to 600%+ of retail non OEM pricing ...?

    Is this the antithesis of the 'core values' of Jobs legacy...?

    Will 'open source' become the 'next big thing'...?

  • macOS Sequoia 15.2 isn't allowing third-party utilities to make bootable backups

    enossified said:
    There’s one perfectly valid reason for having external bootable drives: testing OS updates before committing to them. I’ve been doing this for years. I'd like to know what applications are broken by a new OS and deal with that in advance rather than trying to back out of the OS update because I am blocked from working.
    Agreed...

    ... and in fast paced workflows having functional mirror drives can be a deadline saver...
    APFS has seemed increasingly challenging for so many aspects of maintaining macs in house...

    Cumulatively:
    - onboard hardware locks down storage
    - T2 hardware locks down storage
    - pricing @ up to 600% of free market options locks down storage (recent check)
    - apfs 'snapshots' quietly consume inordinate drive space
    - cloud service subscriptions are offered at premium prices

    How does any of this serve the customer first...?

  • Apple's iPhone 17 Slim is a wrongheaded approach that ignores what people really want

    boboliciousbobolicious
    I tried a 16 recently and returned it in favour of my SE with its compact size and rounded edge.
    I used ultra slim cases on both and find I barely notice the SE in my pocket vs the 16 with its hard edges, size, weight and camera bulge...
    Until Apple improves the sharpness of the UWA lens there seems little benefit at least to me...
    A larger SE screen might add value however I also like touch ID. 
    Apparently some Samsung Galaxy have touch ID 'in screen'...
