The stapled ticket is optional beyond notarization itself. If you notarize but don’t staple the ticket, users may need an internet connection to check the notarization status.

IMO, the benefits of an immutable OS install outweigh being able to uninstall/remove particular apps.

Apple makes excellent hardware (laptop, phone, mini...) to the point I'm willing to pay more for it, but I would prefer a lot to customize my SW. And so I avoid their hardware.

do the benefits of a closed-source OS outweigh being able to do whatever you want?

I don’t believe it’s been years, only the latest firmware version for the ELAC is affected. The fix is to downgrade (or replace hardware with a unit running earlier firmware)

One thing I like about using OpenBSD for my home router is almost all the necessary daemons being developed and included with the OS. DHCPv4 server/client, DHCPv6 client, IPv6 RA server, NTP, and of course SSH are all impeccably documented, use consistent config file formats/command-line arg styles, and are privilege-separated with pledge.


Also it's a really well trodden path. You aren't likely to run into an OpenBSD firewall problem that hasn't been seen before.

Regarding any BSD used for any purpose, BSD has a more consistent logic to how everything works. That said, if you're used to Linux then you're going to be annoyed that everything is very slightly different. I am always glad that multiple BSD projects have survived and still have some real users, I think that's good for computing in general.


The recent addition of dhcp6leased is a great example: Built into the base system, simpler to configure than either dhcp6c or dhcpcd, and presumably also more secure than either.


UPS and FedEx each have around 25 MD-11s, Western Global has 2 I think, the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital is an MD-10, some cargo airline in Botswana has one, and 10 Tanker has some DC-10 firefighting tankers.

That’s the entire worldwide fleet.


Rosetta for PPC apps was supported from the first Intel Macs released in January 2006 until 10.7 Lion was released in July 2011.


So just over five years? If Apple phase out Rosetta 2 in macOS 28, then it will have been supported for seven years.


The OP only applies to Rosetta for running x64 Mac apps, not running x64 Linux software in aarch64 Linux VMs.


Do those only apply to hardware implementations? Apple and Microsoft are both shipping x86_64 emulators that support SSE/AVX/AVX2


They both probably have licenses; Intel stated in 2017 they intended to require licenses for emulators: https://www.forbes.com/sites/tiriasresearch/2017/06/16/intel...

Presumably Apple and Mocrosoft both have counter-leverage of requiring app developers to ship native binaries at some point in the future.


Wait, you can patent an operation? Is it not considered an API? I assumed the Java case would meant you couldn't. I would think it would be limited to the hardware implementation, or maybe some specifics of the alg.


Are you willing to fight Intel's lawyers about it, or are you gonna quietly pay them a fee and move on?


Then how does QEMU handle that? Or Bochs?


They said that, but my understanding was that they were really trying to scare apple back on to x86-64. It didn't work, and it was pretty specious anyway.


It can display an entire Mac desktop https://support.apple.com/en-us/118521


That's not what we want at all. I should be able to slap a "Sync" button while wearing the Vision and every single window/app currently running on my Macbook Pro should show up as a completely independent spatially manipulable display within the virtual environment. That way I still get all the power of my dedicated Mac with the freedom of VR.

Even before it came out, I naturally assumed it was going to be able to do this. Major flub IMHO. Well that and the completely superfluous frontfacing screen for your "virtual avatar". Because the Vision wasn't already expensive enough...


It would be nice if Apple allowed people to choose how Mac virtual display windows were shown. I have a Vision Pro and I rather like the way it's implemented. From a UX perspective, I can't imagine trying to deal with hundreds of windows in AR space. The Vision Pro UI is good, but I'm nowhere near as fast as with a keyboard and mouse.


Sounds like something Apple could easily add.


They want the individual windows from the Mac to be manoeuvrable. Currently it works like a virtual display - you can't move windows around space like you can with visionOS apps.


Which doesnt mean you can surround yourself with VIM windows.

That's just an hyper expensive huge screen.



Wonder what happened to those computers. Hopefully they were sold on government auction and not scrapped.
