Apple's AI rollout leaves Siri behind & long-time fans are asking questions
Siri and improved Apple AI reminds me of AirPower. Schiller - we can do this. Schiller a year later - no we can't. I am not holding my breath for Siri. I rarely use it because it isn't very reliable, and the response is usually the same thing, let me see what I can find on the internet. I can do that myself and get a better response. Apple has had 14 years to fix Siri, and hasn't done it yet.

Time Machine's Time Capsule support ends with macOS 27
Make sure the setting is enabled, for 'wake for network access'. On a desktop Mac, it is found in the Energy Setting. On MacBook it is found under battery. My Mac will wake up if I try to access media on the Mac from my AppleTV. Or look into storing your data on a NAS, or use Time Machine on a NAS.maury markowitz said:Well then, this is the time to ask:
There are two features of my TC that I think I would like to keep.
One is the automatic TimeMachine support, but I understand many routers do that now?
The other is, and I don't know what the name is, the feature that pretends to be my Mac when my Mac is sleeping. This features allows, say, my AppleTV to "see" the content on my machine - movies and shows - and when I select it it wakes up my Mac.
Is there any brand-name 3rd party routers that offer both that I should be looking at?

How to check if your Mac apps are Intel or Apple Silicon code
PCs are switching to ARM, so get used to it. And what exactly is locked down with ARM considering there is an ARM version of macOS, Linux, and Windows 11? It is just a CPU. No different than CISC and RISC CPUs back in the day.lam92103 said:I would rather switch to another OS than buy an ARM machine. The main problem being that the architecture is locked down unlike the open standards based architecture of x86/64 machines -
macOS Tahoe is the last big update for Intel Macs
Yes. The Intel Macs do have the benefit of using boot camp to dual boot into Windows 10. My MacBook Pro 2012 has Catalina and Windows 10, and still quite useful for general use stuff. My Intel iMac 2020, which will run macOS 26, has Parallels with Mac OS X Snow Leopard for older PowerPC apps, macOS Mojave for 32-bit Mac apps, and Windows 7 and Windows 10.eriamjh said:If Intel Macs, maybe one can still run windows (gasp) then their use can be very much extended.Linux updates and support will help extend any computers usable life.Otherwise, hack those retina iMacs to use as 5K displays! -
Apple's new and sweeping user interface design is called 'Liquid Glass'
Heavy use of transparency is not a good design language. They tried it with Aqua and iOS 7, and Windows tried it with Aero with Vista and 7. The end result was major changes to reduce the transparency heavily so things would not bleed through other windows making things difficult to read, etc.coolfactor said:
So many negative comments being posted about Liquid Glass based on pictures and video demos. Once you start to use Liquid Glass, you'll see it's way beyond Aqua (and Vista). Interface elements have physical attributes that extend way beyond just a visual appearance.Rogue01 said:So it is Aqua, without any color, from 2000.
With iOS 7, the heavy transparency was awful because everything blended over itself and over the next few iOS updates, the transparency was significantly reduced so you could actually see what you were doing without elements from behind bleeding into everything else. I imagine the same will occur again. The screenshot above showing the Home Screen looks just like iOS 18, with a few minor tweaks to the icons. Not that much of a change. Not exactly a 'radical' design change as all the websites claimed.
