Apple adds nine Macs to its obsolete devices list
The OCLP project is bringing all the "obsolete" Macs back into full use again. It's actually quite impressive. I don't think Apple may be necessarily happy about it but it's great to see old, but fully functioning Macs that would have gone to the trash bin have a second life.dewme said:I suppose this now puts a couple of my still-working-nicely Macs on the Archaic list.
No big deal, I'm sure there are still Apple fans driving Macs on the Historical list.

Apple could completely ditch Qualcomm's 5G modems by 2027
When Qualcomm tried to base their "licensing" fees by basing it off the price of the final produce (i.e. "iPhone") instead of just selling their chips, that was the day Qualcomm's future was in peril. Sheer greed. Now, Qualcomm will be eating scraps from bit-players.

Upcoming M4-based Mac mini rumored to replace USB-A with more USB-C ports
It's about time. They should all be USB4-enabled ports, meaning they should also all be Thunderbolt-compatible too.

Mac Studio storage upgraded by hardware hacker, but don't expect a retail kit soon
I've done plenty of DFU restores, and it's not sometime for the average Joe to do. I can easily see a mistake happening, Joe User gets upset/frustrated, bricking their Studio and instead of accepting responsibility, they'll make a TikTok video blaming Apple.mknelson said:Don't forget a DFU restore is needed - I'm not sure that makes it retail friendly.I myself would totally do this. I will most likely wait (at the minimum) for an M5 Studio when I retire my current machine and hopefully by then, there will be some more options.I can also see Apple removing those connectors by then and soldering the SSD's in place, making this a momentary opportunity. I suspect all the news about this is going to reach someone in Apple and a decision will be made. -
