Get out the Altivec Unit and twirl it's knob! Let's have a scsi risc time here! Fileststems with resouece forks! An SE/30 chugging alonside the Laserwriter as a Server!
I wouldn't call it click-bait. Anything concerning Apple has been a wankfest for years. This is a wank-around session like all Apple topics on Slashdot. You should know, because you are one of the head clowns.
All news about Apple products is entertainment. I watched most of the presenation last Tuesday because it sounded like it would be entertaining. It definitely WAS. Watching the guys rush through the Applephone 8 presentation so they could obsolete the thing with it's next gen replacement, all in one session, was funny. I just couldn't help thinking 'they just killed the Applephone 8 bedore selling a single unit!' I am sure I was not alone in thinking this during the presentation.
Nerds have always hated Apple. At least, since Apple designed an explicitly anti-nerd computer called the Macintosh.
Those of who were into computers at the time (nerds) remember how condescending Jobs was about it. They killed the Apple 2 about the same time, which was a nerdy open system for the most part.
Other than a smallish minority, we hate fucking Apple here. I have dealt with conescending-while-clueless Mac users since the mid 80's. This is not the space for those people.
It is never going to change. Apple has doubled down on their anti-nerd approach as they have converted into being a consumer gadget company. It will never change.
Is there even such a thing as a Mac that is "a production machine"? That is more a server or infrastructure sort of computer.Apple mainly sells to casual/consumer these days.
Because government is supposed to regulate things. Even if it isn't practical to regulate them, the framework needs to be there, to satisfy the kind of people who think government needs to regulate everything. In case government feels like it later on.
You can be a has-been. But only time will tell. And it's completely a dtreaction. I now know who this developer is. My initial comment is thus productive.
It is nice when nasty things don't happen to you that require a vendor to fall back to disclaimers. It's not the norm for beta testers to get fucked over like this. Yes, Apple is covered from liability. Their shortcomings can fuck over their beta testers without Apple having any liability.
Are you satisfied, now that your assertion has been fully fleshed out?
That's so likely to be a phishing expedition that anybody who actually gives them a phone number is being very foolish.
No, when presented with an 'issue' like that, unless there is an absolute emergency in progress and you need to use 'their service', the proper thing to do is become 'very concerned for your security' and eat up a TON of their tech support with a human operator making certain that it is 'safe' to use 'this device' with their service. Get on their actual human tech support with a very costly (to them) presence.
If it's fucking Google, just get a real email account. They're a few dollars a month. Personally, I have chosen Fastmail, there are other good providers as well.
At times in the past, Apple has chosen to blatantly 'wear' mistakes they have made. Will this be the same? Will there be further generation 'notces' even when the notch is even less necessary?
Will 'screen protector' stickers with a darkened 'notch' area on one side become the trendy thing to stick on your older Apple Gadget?
Why would Safari be included? It requires a hardware dongle that most of us don't possess.
I have the Safari for Windows installer for version 5.34.51.22 but that's a version from 10/2014 and Apple hasn't released anything newer. It's producer has made it irrelevant to 'the rest of us.'
Just don't give out your phone number. Google has no reason to know my phone number. I don't have to disable 'two factor authentication by text message' if they don't have my phone number.
I was a Computer Operator in the early 1980s. It involved putting up 1/2" tapes onto drives and loading jobs. I worked at a Service Bureau, which meant we did jobs that shipped in on tapes from all over the region.
The Computer Operator job got a name upgrade to 'SysAdmin' about the time mainframes went into decline and the job became one of maintaining all the computers connected together. Same basic job though. Keeping jobs going and traffic routed.
IT is a custodial position. In today's world of highly commoditized software, an IT position is not a developer position. You take it out of the box, you plug the parts together. You make sure it runs. You keep making sure it runs for several years.
That's different from software development, even if you have to do a little typing to keep all the pieces working together.
I try to use my manual Smith-Corona. There is something nostalgic about having to use a lower case 'l' for the numeral 'one' because your keyboard doesn't have a key for 'one.'

You are the one who is scampering around fighting the good fight against anonymous coward comments. If anybody is behaving idiotically it is you.

I thought Stewart Butterfield was behing tumblr.
It's okay to upgrade. Just pray you were not one of the beta testers who 'upgraded' a drive that was not well backed up.

You're welcome.
Translation: "I don't want to hear about it. It's bad news about Apple and I don't want you to hear it, either."
Sorry to diasppoint you.
Laying pipes is not being a plumber. It's a vocation, not an activity.

And why should we care?
Has Apple trademarked 'the notch'?
At times in the past, Apple has chosen to blatantly 'wear' mistakes they have made. Will this be the same? Will there be further generation 'notces' even when the notch is even less necessary?
Will 'screen protector' stickers with a darkened 'notch' area on one side become the trendy thing to stick on your older Apple Gadget?

In your long rant, you didn't mention any software project that is actually inferior.
But keep it up, if you are bored and have time to waste.
If the website you create 'breaks' because of the browser that I am using, I am probably better off just not going to it ever again.
Truths like this should frighten website creators. (note that I did not call them 'developers' or 'designers.')
Just don't give out your phone number. Google has no reason to know my phone number. I don't have to disable 'two factor authentication by text message' if they don't have my phone number.
A SysAdmin used to be called a Computer Operator.
I was a Computer Operator in the early 1980s. It involved putting up 1/2" tapes onto drives and loading jobs. I worked at a Service Bureau, which meant we did jobs that shipped in on tapes from all over the region.
The Computer Operator job got a name upgrade to 'SysAdmin' about the time mainframes went into decline and the job became one of maintaining all the computers connected together. Same basic job though. Keeping jobs going and traffic routed.
You know as little about trench digging or plumbing as the plumber knows about what you do.

It's hard to find a programming job that pays a rockstar's salary.
I bough my office chair at a surplus store 20 years ago. It's a Herman Miller, of course.
I try to use my manual Smith-Corona. There is something nostalgic about having to use a lower case 'l' for the numeral 'one' because your keyboard doesn't have a key for 'one.'
You misspelled Aldus Pagemaker but we don't mind. Everybody knew what you meant.
