> Is there any legit reason Apple is hastening the drop of support for older computers when they can be upgraded just fine with the OpenCore Legacy Patcher?

How do regular OS patches work with OpenCore Legacy Patcher? Do you have to go hoops to update OS for security / feature updates once you set it up?

Had to flush com.apple.Spotlight.plist file to get Spotlight working properly. After upgrade, Spotlight couldn't find 3d party apps that were installed already.

Also, stage manager is a UI/UX nightmare, I will stick to Rectangle app.

What's wrong with using a Mac Mini as a daily driver?

> It isn't as simple as just saying "the iPhone SE still gets updates!", context is important

Nah, it's that simple. iPhone SE got major OS updates and security updates. Yes a few features are not available (mostly camera related), but most of them are. iPhone software update adds longevity to devices that Android devices can only dream about.

Pixel security updates for at least 5 years from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US. Updates may also include feature drops and other software updates. See g.co/pixel/updates for more information.

Oh, I knew I recognized that name somewhere. Thank you for the duckyPad, it's awesome.

> the current 3080 can already do 4k @ 60FPS HDR on every AAA title I've thrown at it

Have you tried CyberPunk 2077?

No change.

However, some of my migraines lower the noise, some anti migraine medication raises it (Elavil).

Kiss your battery life goodbye since it will be siphoning more CPU cycles.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am looking forward to shared photo librairies in iOS. Also, the super duper locked down security mode looks nice.

Nitpick: Entropy is not a force, especially not fundamental force.

Will check it out now, thanks.

>>> That sounds like a strange setup for C# unless I'm missing something.

I remote into a full Windows VM, we use VS 2019.

>>> Also what's stopping you from charging form USB-C monitor and using it as a hub ?

My USB-C monitor can't charge for some reason. It's one of the first 43 inch USB-C supporting monitors.

I write C# code by remoting to a $2k machine, however, iPadOS 16 got me hyped for the fact that I can take my old Mac Mini give it to my mom and just use my M1 iPad on my 43 inch 4k monitor to do mundane stuff as logging into work via VPN, run RDP, run Teams and use it as my "desktop".

All I need now is a decent terminal for iPad OS AND some kind of USB-C hub to allow charging AND display out the same time.

Articles like this grind my gears when they mention an ancronym in the title and I have to read through 4 paragraphs before finding out what MLM means.

I am using the duckyPad, text file configuration on an SD card, no need for complex software. Works on any OS that supports USB HID devices.

I think the reason is that reality is catching up with The Onion. There is an entire subreddit called /r/NotTheOnion just for that, real stories that could be on The Onion.

- Vaultwarden (passwords)

- FreshRSS (RSS reader)

- Homebridge (gets some non homekit devices into Homekit)

- Minecraft Server (kids)

- Valheim Server (me and my buds)

- Syncthing Discovery and Relay servers (I am paranoid, for file sync)

- PiHole (network adblock)

- Wireguard (all our devices have it installed, combined with PiHole = adblock on the go)

- Grafana + InfluxDB (to monitor system health)

All this is running in a 16 GB space eating VM that's backed up offsite. Maintenance is not too bad, if something goes wrong I'll roll back in a flash and investigate later.

Russia didn't even held their end of the bargain for the Budapest Memorandum when they annexed Crimea. They really have nothing to complain about it.

> Despite the sanitized name, "economic sanctions" are violence and collective punishment.

Ok genius, what should have the west done? Intervene in Ukraine and risk nuclear annihilation for humanity? Or simply look away and let Ukraine be plundered?

PS: These are not “sanctions” but “special economic operations”

How many of those have voted for Putin?

PCR tests are only done on essential workers so the real case number is WAY higher.

> One possible solution is to flash a custom ROM.

Been there, done that, got the tshirt (a nice CyanogenMod one). Then I switched to iPhone years ago, and my regret is that I should have done that WAY earlier.

I had a: Nexus S, Galaxy S3, Sony XPeria Ultra, Nexus 6, Moto S. All those were bought with custom ROM support in mind. My experience was love and hate:

- Clean minimal Android is really NICE.

- Not having (insert Facebook bloatware here) on your phone is NICE!

- Custom ROMs break often, the moment you move away from a big project like CyanogenMOD (later LineageOS), you are pretty much depending on one or two people. If those people change phones, you are sol. Hell, it happens with big projects as well.

- Some apps don't work unless you install Magisk to bypass Google's Safetynet.

- One slight mistake flashing a device and you risk in having a nice paperweight.

- Flashing/modding your phone takes a LOT of time.

- Bootloader unlock might void warranties (might not be legal) but as an individual I can't fathom to sue a megacorp.

I realized that my time was way more precious than fiddling often with a phone, so I just went over to the iOS camp, never looked back. My mom is now using my old iPhone 6S Plus with latest and greatest version of iOS.

Should be called "String hypothesis", not theory.

> New data out of South Africa showed that the risk of hospitalization from Omnicron was 29% less than the original strain which was already pretty unlikely for young, healthy people

Did they account for previous immunity from other strains when they said Omicron is 29% less severe than original strain? How did they study this? Magically find people who (1) Never had a strain of Covid and (2) Aren't vaccinated at all.

It was a public concert, freely accessible to anyone.

I "donated" 75$ to see my favorite band two years ago.

Americans also got lucky that George Best and Wade McClusky were able to hit the carriers knowning that most attempts in the battle so far have utterly failed.

> Multi- and highres monitor support out of the box with proper scaling and readable fonts

My M1 mini has all kinds of issues with 2 4k monitors attached. Sometimes waking up from sleep, the monitor plugged into TB scales to default setting (200%?) instead my config (125%). And don't get me started on Ultra Wide support.

> I've never booted to a black screen when upgrading macOS.

I never had Linux physically damage my hardware after an update, MacOS sure did.
