Apple entschuldigt sich für Werbung mit zerquetschtem Klavier
Ein Video, in dem Musikinstrumente in einer Presse zerquetscht werden, hat in den sozialen Netzwerken für Empörung gesorgt. Was eigentlich als Werbung für das neue Tablet gedacht war, endete mit einer Entschuldigung von Apple.
I have an old iMac from a friend that had a dead harddrive that I was able to replace pretty cheaply and has worked fine ever since, though it's topped out at an old OS.
I got another iMac from a neighbour suspecting it may be a harddrive issue as well, which could be an easy fix.
BUT, with both of these stopping at much older OS's that don't get updates any longer and won't run more modern programs, the question came up today...
Would there be any upside to doing so? Could a newer OS be installed and used, for instance?
The thinking was if the OS's aren't updated or security patching anyway, there's no difference if we jailbreak the computers and they then don't update or security patch as a result.
But is that even a thing? If so, any drawbacks I'm not seeing to doing this (or more to the point, having someone who knows what they're doing do it)?
Apple ad #geolocation - private residence so address omitted. It's for rent! Perfect for the skilled factory worker who builds robots; maybe you'll be able to find a computer-matched roommate to help share the cost.
Description: "We currently have available this very private and completely refurbished studio/1 bath apartment in North Hollywood. This unit has beautiful refinished hardwood flooring, copper plumbing, dual paned windows, air conditioning and comes with one car assigned parking." #starwars#apple#bobafett

« This ad does highlight a particular Silicon Valley attitude: It scorns the past as outdated rather than respecting it as clever. In some sense, these companies have to: they’ve got products to sell. »
Yeah, Apple has had a few advertising missteps in the past ("wHatZ uH cOmpUTer???), but this 'Crush' commercial is one of the darkest mistakes I think they've ever made. It feels like the intro to Fallout style dystopian story.
A far cry from the optimism of the 1984 commercial, Apple has become what they once rallied against... https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/05/08/apples-crush-ipad-pro-ad-sparks-intense-backlash-from-creatives
