Why would that be, when the average system update support window is 41.2 months for Apple and 21 months for Android (source : http://www.androidpolice.com/2...)
To me, an Apple device costing 2x an Android device would still be a good investment, since the $/month with security updates would be the same.It would also be more friendly to ecology, since it's a device less produced and a device less in the drawer or recycled or thrashed.
I've got an iMac bought new in 2007. It is running El Capitan (can't upgrade to Sierra) which will be supported for an other 2 years. That iMac will be 11 years old when it will get obsoleted. Where's that artificially short obsolescence?
The malware was bundled on the 4th and was waiting 3 days before it started encrypting files (which would be today). The executable was disabled during weekend.
I've got a Mac Mini pluggued to my HDTV with 3 tv tuners hooked to it. It runs EyeTV from Elgato, I pay about 20$/year to get the program list automatically. The tuners are hooked up to an antenna in the hattic.
The thing can record 3 shows at once. The software lets be watch recorded shows and live TV on my iPad/iPhone if I whish so. The media library is also shared to my other computers in the house.
I've been using the setup for years and it's a joy to use.
There was a kernel, it was called nuKernel. The boot ROM was used to launch the machine and provide the hardware information. You could replace the Finder with any other app and make the computer boot and work, but the System file was necessary for anything to function.
For the WaitNextEvent thing, what you describe is cooperative multitasking in an OS without memory protection.
It's built in the Mac environnement. It's called portable home directories, a bit like remote profiles on Windows. You need to have the good LDAP structure laid out and used on your macs, so network accounts are seen. Than, on the Mac, you can log in with the network account and enable Portable Home Directories for that account. It will then automaticly sync on login and logout and show the conflicts in a GUI.
At home, I've got a Linux server hosting an LDAP structure to mimic MacOS X Server's config. It is sharing my home directory via NFS. My Macs sync this home directory on login and logout, so all my personnal data is centalized for easy backup and available on any Mac I happen to add to my home network.
The older MacMini already had shared video memory using the Intel GMA chipset. It could be a win here, since the last time the memory was dedicated was with the PowerPC minis!

Thanks for the heads-up! I'll have to look for an other SSL provider...
Why do you say StartCom is dead? My website is secured with a StartCom SSL certificate and it's still working. I can also buy a new one.
I'll be looking for something running Sierra in a few months, until then I'm keeping it! :P

A stylus like this product from 1993?

Sorry, but you're wrong!

Oh.. and DOS was an OS too...
Exactly!
Anyways, the e-mail telling thing will break as been sent many times..
Anti-Virus updates are considered priorities here.
It is tested on a server, if it works good we update production. It takes less than 15min of my time..
Either :
-Follow the mailing list where there as been numerous e-mails telling that the support would end
or
-Use a repository that updates your server easily
Wining was not an option here...
You'd think twice about that if you had an SSD in your machine. Think about the Macbook Air with the 64GB SSD... ;)

Some info about the settings here (in french)

Dude.. the guy is still alive! :P
Always depends on what you do with your computer..
Your new video-card will cost about as much as the whole mini ;)

What about a video benchmark between the old 2Ghz MacMini and the new one? The main change in this machine was chipset/video related.
It's 1996 over again..
Remmember when a game made Win95 BSOD? It was the game that made the computer crash.
Remmember when a game made MacOS 7 bomb? It was the Mac that made the computer crash. Why? Because it's a frigggin' Mac!
The Sims 2 smeans to be quite borked. You can't move the App once it's installed or it will break it.
vnstat will do that for you ;)
Do like South Park and blame Canada!
He's not even right about Apple either, the first MP Mac was the PowerMac 9500, released in 1995 with the SMP option released in 1996.
