    Get ready for constant security notice nag screens. Catilina is a bridge too far. Basically Mac OS X has now become like Micro$oft. The transformation will be complete the day mac os x begins asking for a serial code to begin. Sad. Actually BOTH platforms, are getting to be pretty similar. OS X has rootless.... windows x has "S" mode. Both operating systems batter the user with pop-ups, interuptions, etc. Total mess. Yes some, not all of this can be turned off, but more and more not so much.
    Yawn. NEXT!

    Not written by Shyamalan, so it’s got that going for it.

    There's a few games that I love that are still stubbornly 32- bit that are making me reticent to upgrade: Sim City 4, Doom 3, and The Sims 2. 

    Will Apple automatically delete my apps and any files associated with them? Or will they be saved in an Archive folder after upgrade?

    Would it be possible to have my saved data from the 32-bit apps transferred to updated 64-bit apps (if the developers ever get around to caring about updating them)? I'm assuming that's a hard no.
    I’m planning to make a Parallels VM to install Steam on for my 32bit games. Hopefully with the latest version’s Metal support they should run okay.

    It’s not the first time we’ve seen them hold off functionality from older devices with no proof of necessity. It won’t be the last. Is this absolutely a plot of planned obsolescence? I find it VERY hard and irrational to dismiss that it’s not at least a conscious motive that they act on.
    It's not withholding functionality from older devices, it's the software that runs on those devices. Newer versions of macOS require Metal support, which is not possible with older Macs. They're under no obligation to go back and revise three year old software for you. As you've already learned, your ranting was completely unfounded since you can continue to use the Reminders as the functionality exists now.

    The "planned obsolescence" thing is a lazy bullshit conspiracy theory. Technology moves forward with or without you, the latter especially if you choose to not keep up.

  • Duet Display update will allow Mac users to extend displays to Android tablets

    fastasleepfastasleep
    The timing for Apple's introduction is likely to be one of performance, since the entire range of Apple devices are now sufficiently powerful enough to support such a feature without the use of a hardware dongle. (Something which the DuetDisplay still requires.)
    DuetDisplay doesn't require a dongle, I think you meant Luna Display. Luna Display is far more powerful than Duet Display due to the hardware.
