  • macOS 26 says goodbye to the classic hard drive icon

    My gods it's so fraking hilarious seeing you chucklefcks complain about something so stupid and mundane and completely irrelevant to how a Mac works as finder icons. 
    And yet... you took the time to read the article. Read the comments. Comment on the comments.

    To which I may reply:

    I’m all for updating the hard drive icon… but this new one does not have an appealing look.  At least to my appeal.  
    You are free to change it.

    There have been desktop icon packages, etc. for macOS/OS X for decades and for earlier Apple operating systems before that. I'm using some disk icon for my Macintosh HD boot drive that I found in 2011 when I yanked the factory Hitachi 2.5" HDD spinner from my Mac mini 2010 server and replaced it with a 120GB SSD from OCZ.

    I think I found the one I'm currently using via an Internet search (yeah, I know many people online have seemed to have forgotten how to use search engines):

    I just searched for "macos ssd icon" and switched to image results.

    If you find a compatible icon, all you need to do is cut and paste via the Get Info window for that particular object rather than try to hack the entire operating system. It's way easier than the bad old days when mucking around with ResEdit was often required.
    I still use the Original Ive Drives Icons from Icon Factory (which are now like 16 years old... but still look modern to me!)

    In particular the white ones.

    Spock would tell you to mind your business and respect cultural differences. 

    Actually... you are kinda wrong on this. If Jdw had commented on some traditional and cultural tattoos... like what the Maori do etc. you'd be correct. The current tattoo trend that swept the Western world in the last ~decade... however... is nothing BUT a fad. And it has nothing got to do with "cultural differences". It's a widespread trend... no more, no less. And his words of criticism are valid.
    But it would seem you feel attacked... because you are full of tats yourself?

    Nah, I’m right. 
    No. You're just full of tats yourself. Which is your complete personal choice and decision. Over which, however, you feel attacked. So you try to move it into a "don't insult other cultures" category... which his comment clearly wasn't.
