Everything 's been crazy this year and having BA on Youtube was one thing that I liked being able to tune into every couple days. So it's a big deal if they're not going to put out any content for a while. Posting Ian Miles Cheong for any reason other than to sneer at his worthless Nazi rear end should be bannable IMO

From HN Fleetsmith disabled their entire third-party app catalog this morning and disabled Bash scripting (that was reenabled 15 minutes ago), breaking workflows for a bunch of users (and, according to the MacAdmins slack, tons of end users got random popups asking for an administrator to fix kernel extensions that were previously loaded via Fleetsmith). [0] I can understand having to sunset the catalog, but how did Fleetsmith (or Apple) think that doing that without one peep was okay? Even a "we've been informed by legal that we can't host these packages, so within x days they will be removed from our catalog. we will provide functionality to replace them on your systems with packages you make yourself". 0: https://www.reddit.com/r/macsysadmin/comments/hf30qk/apple_b... (discussion about fallout)

I don't understand their propensity to buy up companies and kill off functionality within them but not really finish the job holistically within a market segment. Its like someone in management gets a bee in their bonnet about someone/a company and knows how to get legal or finance or whoever to unleash the hounds. Its not like they do it to introduce functionality or to increase their engineering pool. Baffling. RIP BuddybuildOk Comboomer posted:????? You're absolutely not wrong and you can definitely suss it out if you google hard enough and know the right people, I just don't see it publicized enough by the folks in Cupertino to know if its supposed to be hush hush and marketing doesn't know enough/of it to actively keep a lid on it? They can be picky about that.

Ok Comboomer posted:It’s probably much cheaper and faster like this I get the feeling it's more about opportunity cost and hiring than it is about dollars. They probably would save money building it themselves, but it would take time. Plus you then hire people who have been working on this specific problem for however many person-years.

SourKraut posted:Oh I agree, I think it'll be more than 5 years. I was just trying to counter this doom-and-gloom view of Intel Macs being thrown to the trash heap in 2 years. But I think even getting 5 years minimum of continued support is good to begin with when a major transition like this is occurring. Another thing to ask is, how long before *first-gen* ARM Macs get tossed in the Apple dustbin? My first-gen Intel iMac was cut off pretty quick whereas the second wave (later the same year) with Core 2 Duo was supported a good bit longer proportionally. Think iPad 1 vs iPad 2 in terms of longevity.

https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/06/24/intel-skylake-chip-issues-reportedly-tipping-point-in-apples-silicon-switch Take with appropriate boulder of salt, but the tldr is that according to a former Intel engineer, Apple kept finding so many bugs in the Skylakes being used in Late 2015 / 2016 Macs that this was the final straw that put Apple on the road to Apple Silicon.

Hasn't Apple been poaching some of the best chip engineers in the business for the past 5+ years? I'm really excited to see what Apple has cooked up - a 13" ARM MacBook Pro with Pencil support and all the iPad apps is going to be tight

Edit: A Yoga version of a Macbook would be pretty rad, I will say, and Apple's one of the few non-Lenovo companies I'd trust to make that without endless lovely hinge problems.

Mister Facetious posted:Isn't Relay FM a podcasting network, a la The Nerdist? Relay is a podcast network whose core shows are about technology and Apple in particular. Much of what was the Apple blogosphere in the 2000s has moved into podcasts, and the most important podcasts in the Appleverse with the exception of ATP are on Relay. P.S. ATP makes a lot more sense once you realize they were clearing 6 figures a year each from ad sales, John is a senior dev, and Marco has Overcast and his Tumblr Millions as a backstop.

I like john because he's a weird, old nerd and amusing to listen to. never liked casey.

my favorite casey liss moment was when he talked openly on the podcast about how a teenager driving a car very, very slightly nicked the back of his car -- john described it as "one I would get just having my car parked in my driveway", and he literally called the loving cops because it counted as an "accident", then had the teenager/their parents pay to get the tiny, inconsequential nick made right. world's smallest name, world's biggest ego

That’s loving trash behavior right there. God I hope we find a good solution for this forums situation. 99% of Apple fans are barely distinguishable from ‘gamers’, if you’ve ever had a look through the MacRumors forums or Apple reddit
