Absolutely loved this bit of back-story on the "upside down" Apple logo that used to be on every Mac laptop, but got flipped (right side up?) by Steve Jobs.
Great, short read, shared by @gruber a few days ago.
“According to the report, a limited number of older devices will also be able to run the system, including iPads and Macs running an M1 chip or higher and the iPhone 15 Pro.”
So Macs not running an M chip remain safe? I hope so!
Hm. I wonder what happened to inter-app communication protocols. Yes, I know we have URLs, but not for anything useful. Yes, I know there are security issues… we always have security issues, but get emoji instead? We get circuses instead of bread…
Here’s a secret you may not have known if you bought a new iPad, iMac or MacBook. Apple has quietly added a Thread radio to several new Macs and iPads released since September 2023. @theverge has more, including which models on which they found evidence of Thread testing: https://flip.it/-R.XMr #Tech#Apple#SmartPhone#iPhone#iPad#Mac
Oh wow. I just disabled Bartender and look which icon was hidden pretty conveniently by it…
This always pops up when an app records the screen. It was always visible for other apps, but disappeared sometimes for a short amount of time, what I thought was a macOS bug.
Seems like Bartender was able to hide this icon, when it was creating the screen recording itself? I'm pretty concerned right now and will definitely remove it immediately.
The mass exodus from #Windows to #Linux (and #Mac) due to #Windows11 and #AI continues. More and more articles, more and more youtube videos about it, or posts on forums. People are switching. If it continues like that, Linux should have 10% desktop marketshare by the end of the decade (and yes, that's a lot).
Started at 5/31 11am ET. We’ll see how fast this baby moves on a 12yo #MacMini using #ProtonVPN & gigabit #fios through a #glinet#AXT1800 router, a CAT6-connected AP, a #MoCA -connected AP, & finally CAT6. It’s a circuitous route, I know, but these are the limitations of a 74yo house.
FWIW speeds right now are slower than usual: 174 Mbps down, 178 up. Usually in the 500-600 range. Maybe it’s the age of the #Mac, or I’m splitting between the #Ente & speed test?
