I never want to run High Sierra or iOS 11. Clearly, I will be required to at some point when I upgrade my iPhone/Mac hardware, but... <sigh>
Why does every Apple release feel like one step forwards, two (or two dozen) steps backwards?
- coldtea 9y agoBecause the media says so?
- laythea 9y agoBecause not enough people stop buying/using their products.
- dreamcompiler 9y agoI'm still on Mavericks and never plan to upgrade. Every new Mac OS now seems to be a major regression in basic functionality in the name of more eye candy, more Apple lockin, and more crap I have to turn off just to get work done. I'm done. I just bought a Dell XPS 13, installed Linux on it, and I'm not looking back.
- AdamJacobMuller 9y agoApple is pushing me there for sure. The latest MacBook Pro is not so pro anymore. 16gb ram is embarrassing in 2017.
- davidf18 9y agoThe 16gb constraint is from the Intel processor. Have to wait.
- whitehat2k9 9y agoMaybe it wouldn't be if people stopped coding everything in node.js.
- rovr138 9y agoTry running a couple of test VMs, an IDE with code completion on top of a decent sized code base and you’ll be swapping like crazy even with 16GBs.
- AdamJacobMuller 9y agoWhile I agree with you that node.js is bad, that's not even my issue. I use Vagrant extensively and I might want to spin up 2 or 3 VMs with 2-3GB of ram to test $thing. Now, I can do that (3*3 == 9 < 16) but, really, it makes the rest of my system just run terribly. I would personally pay a $1000 premium over the current MacBook Pro for a version with 64GB of RAM.
- abritinthebay 9y agoBecause you are not their target market. For everyone else - including many developers and power users - they are selling well (very well).
