  3. macOS High Sierra on Ask Slashdot: What's the Fastest Linux Distro for an Old Macbook 7,1? · · Score: 4, Informative

    https://everymac.com/systems/a...

    Apple officially supports a maximum of 4 GB of RAM, but third-parties have determined that it actually supports 8 GB of RAM running Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" and 16 GB of RAM running OS X 10.7.5 "Lion" or higher and the latest EFI update.

    Pre-Installed MacOS: X 10.6.3
    Maximum MacOS: Current

    So update EFI, upgrade RAM to 16GB, swap HDD for SSD and install the latest macOS.

    Problem solved.

  17. Re:Bullshit on Apple Might Discontinue the iPhone X This Summer (bgr.com) · · Score: 2

    Look at the iPod shuffle 2nd generation, 3rd generation and 4th generation.
    They clearly went back to the basic design of the 2nd generation because the 3rd generation was bad.

    They discontinued the "puck" mouse and never done the same mistake again.

    They removed the "scrollwheel" volume controller in QuickTime and went back to a regular slider in subsequent versions.

    Those are the only three examples I can think of right now.
