> Macs are more affordable and powerful that other computers since the M series. Apple has been raising prices on Macs and other products.

The point might be more convincing if prices reflected the smaller portions.

For one thing, Apple Weather displays hi-DPI animations for weather conditions.

Apple has been using the "macOS is more efficient" excuse since the early 2000s to justify skimping on RAM.

Well, for example, Apple Weather has several different animations that are displayed behind the temperature for various weather conditions, such as rain, window, and snow, and those will need to be hi-DPI animations.

That was standard practice in the 90s. Track 1 on the CD is the data track, and subsequent tracks are standard CD audio tracks that happen to be played in the game. If the game didn't require accessing data on the CD after installation

It was just a standard way to play CD-quality audio tracks (by actually playing CD audio tracks!).

Snow Leopard was so buggy that it had an infamous data loss bug: https://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyle/snow-leopard-bug-d... People forget these things after they get patched out and time passes. What's l

I lived that era too, and Snow Leopard was no less buggy than any other release. What actually happened is that engineers had been shifted over to iOS, which delayed Leopard. By the time of Snow Leopard, to put a positive spin on that lack

I'd say Snow Leopard was as buggy as any other typical OS X release from that era, as covered by the Jeff Johnson article. The reality is that the "no new features" marketing was most likely a positive spin on the shift in en

That's not how I remember it. In fact, Snow Leopard was no less buggy than any other release, I'd say. As explained in the article, that mythology of a stable release was formed over time later on.

What software would that be, and how do you know there have never been memory-related bugs and vulnerabilities in it?
48.
by vor_ 2mo ago
That change is happening. Microsoft has been rewriting parts of Windows in Rust, Linux is accepting Rust code, and Apple is using Swift for core parts of their OSes.

For what it's worth, which may be nothing, I remember being told that by NFT people.

I must say, "great financial engineering" serves as an amazing spin on "scam."

Does it? I'm skeptical. In fact, we apparently have more than enough money for it because we suddenly have billions to spend on war in the Middle East.

Yet we apparently have money for military parades and wars and ballrooms. Go figure.
