Same here. My 2012 MBP has been upgraded with more RAM and a SSD and the battery is replaceable (but it's lasted better than my work 2017 model and is healthier!) but the cost of the new devices is so astronomical it'll be the las

Why are there so many Apple devices with 8GB RAM for sale on eBay then? The RAM prices for new Apple devices are 3x the normal rate so people get disappointed with all the Electron apps eating RAM and sell it!

Non-native menus and poor keyboard focus handling and shortcuts are the giveaway, and extreme memory usage!

I can't agree with this more! It's a bleak future. Back to Linux I guess.

It seems to be solving a problem that doesn't exist, as if edge cases were the reason to apply blanket restrictions. It's like banning knives because there's been a few stabbings. It removes the general utility due to misuse

DOS survived perfectly fine with deltree, whereupon it was possible to delete your file system. The decision on which bits of the system I can destroy should be mine, not theirs. That's the issue. At the moment, I am getting pushed out

I'm not being contrarian, I am asking why I wouldn't be able to modify my filesystem. It's quite simple. I can also do rm -rf ~/Documents or rm -rf /Applications or rm -rf /Library which has a similar devastati

That doesn't make sense. What is in / that is dangerous? Finder hides all of /etc and /bin and /usr for the "protection" of normal users, just like the default view for Windows Explorer under C:\Windows\Sy

I put all developer libraries that I do not want to put into a system path into /DevelopLibs. On Windows I put them in C:\DeveloperLibs. That way I can build supporting libraries of different versions software under there, eg. /De

They’ll pass the savings onto the consumers though right?? I mean, a fully specced MacBook costs over £3000 which seems expensive... Here’s hoping anyway!!

Why are new features in apps mentioned in an OS update? It is a recent trend but I recall being able to upgrade to Office 2003 from 2000 without requiring an entire new OS. These days, they talk about tiny features in one of the apps (eg. M

Every app looks like the old iTunes, which had an appalling interface. I don’t understand this at all.

It seems a UI regression is a new feature for every OS these days. Very disappointing.

Thanks for these suggestions, I will be returning to linuxland after over a decade away.

I used to use Linux as a daily driver until switching to macOS because I wanted to get stuff done instead of faffing around and learning edge cases for every app. I used to use KDE 3.5 which was near perfect and didn’t require learning new

Little Snitch is good but what happens if the kernel can’t get a binary approved to run?? And people complained about Windows 10 telemetry. Last time I run macOS. Time to return to Linux (Pop OS I think)

So you’re saying that pressing two keys is faster than pressing one key? In which universe?? Is eating 2 sandwiches also faster than eating one? Are 2 electrical impulses also faster than 1? I think not.

I thought the “white everything” UI approach of metro apps under Windows 10 was bad enough but this is even worse with all the bluriness and similar colours. I am going to have to get another job soon else I’m going to go blind with all the

How about the non-modifiable hidden system partition? Inability to create directories under / That alone has stopped me moving my Macs to the latest OS after testing.

Amazing story. How did you get known to the other parking companies? Did you ring them up or something? I suppose the secret is quickly delivering software that does what someone wants.

Is there any good intro on how to get developing under Haiku? I seem to remember there being a wxWidgets port years ago but the documentation regarding it is scant. I would like to know which development environment I could use (Qt Creator

I think it has issues with either GPU acceleration, or with saving state and resuming the emulator. It cannot do both, so you have to choose between fast startup and fast usage. During typing this comment I nearly lost my mind because my ma

What magic do I need to perform to do this? It worked and then stopped working after a Windows 10 update and Bootcamp 5 (for my 2012 mac) doesn't know about Windows 10 drivers or something...

The annoyance of trying to connect to a remote system and the entire desktop and all Finder windows locking up whilst there is a network request is the most annoying issue. I can't understand why it wouldn't make the request in a

Even my old MacBook Pro 2012 in BootCamp is very poor under BootCamp. Getting the right drivers for it is the worst bit because who knows whether I should be using Bootcamp 5 or 6? The display brightness and volume keys no longer work. The
