Post-Mortem: Apple Computers Is Dead, Long Live Apple Inc
- crmrc114 5y agoFor sake of argument I have been restoring some 68k Macs I picked up at an estate sale. I was unaware that even back in 92 apple limited the hard drives you could use with the machines... And even when I emmulate Id data for whitelisted drives I still have to use a patched formatter to init/tattoo the drive and partition it. Apple has been playing the proprietary game for some time.
- PaulHoule 5y agoThe last good Apple computer was the ][. The /// was crap, the Lisa was crap, the Mac was crap, the Mac 2 was crap, etc. Apple should have taken the //gs seriously, wiped out the PC AT clones and choked off Microsoft Windows before 95. By then it was ][ late. Keep Woz in charge, evolve the 6502 to 32 bit and 64 bit, that is where it’s at.

- Finnucane 5y agoSome of these issues are not unique to Apple, though they may have led the way. Now if you want repairable/maintainable hardware, you have to DIY or go to a boutique builder. I’ve just ordered a new keyboard, battery, and ssd for a seven year old laptop, just because I could. Of course, I’m reading this right now on my iPad, so there’s that.
- twobitshifter 5y agoAren’t AirPods a pretty revolutionary design on their own? The Apple Watch is not the toughest, but Apple is rumored to release an explorer edition soon, which should have a more protective casing.
