I wasn’t aware of that. Good to know, thanks.

I'll go ahead and duck now from the tomatoes but there is a middle path as well...

Using CheapCharts and buying Movies and TV on iTunes. Yes you don't "own it" and yes there are the rare occasional license revocations but it's not often enough for me to care about that--They still remain in your library anyways.

I have been diligently collecting quality, fun, and beloved movies over the past 2 years when they go on sale. That or buying bundles when they go on sale. I've amassed a solid collection of quality media, a lot of which is not on any streaming platform. I even have a lot of Disney titles as well!

I can watch it wherever, whenever and I can download it to devices.

Eat your heart out Disney, Netflix, etc...

And if you want Library Streaming, check out Kanopy. Also has an AppleTV app.

I am glad people still take the time to put stuff like this up on the internet.

Apple is extremely lucky to have users like this who still work tirelessly to find and report these types of problems. They would do well to listen.

There was some news about this recently sadly I cannot find it at the moment. I guess there's a scale that is used to measure sugar content; the Brix scale, and fruit is moving up the scale really rapidly over the past decade or so.

Depends on what you mean. I can buy groceries directly through the grocer instead of a middleman like DoorDash. I would count that as online.

Well it wasn't always this way. There was a time a few years ago (~4?) where you absolutely could avoid updates.

Asking out of genuine curiosity... Do you think the Asahi maintainers could use your work to speed up future GPU driver development? M4, M5, M6 and so on... I am assuming they wouldn't just accept your work outright, but instead could they use it to substantially speed up their development process by mapping out a lot of the GPU after which they can focus on optimization and other aspect of drivers? Do you think they will?

I don't use Asahi now but that's largely because my current Apple M series hardware is still supported. I see a day where an older unsupported Mac is running in a rack in my basement or being used by my kids as a general purpose computer.

I grew up with DOS, Win 95, 98, 2000, XP and so on. I have to ask when was Microsoft above breaking things? In my mind they always had a reputation as being pretty shoddy. As soon as MacOS (OS X) was a viable alternative I gleefully switched and never looked back. I still keep a Windows machine around for gaming but I don't use it for anything more than that. All my serious work happens inside of MacOS.

Sounds more or less like the last breach then.

I don't know, I can't really figure out what modern US conservatives really want anymore. Maybe one of them will chime in and help us understand why we would want this.

I am absolutely open to being corrected but I can't think of a single current era FOSS project that apple is optimizing and shipping with their computers.

Is there anything in the works or planned that suggests the RAMpocalypse will end anytime soon? e.g. new fabs being built, permitted, planned, etc...
