It's totally unacceptable to be forced to reboot the computer (for updates or whatever) on its schedule, not yours.
I had no issues configuring this on Windows 10.
It's totally unacceptable that you can't choose the updates that are applied
I totally can choose which updates to apply to!
I'm sure someone will argue that more expensive versions of Windows allow somewhat improved control over updates
Nope, you can do this all with registry entries in the worst case scenario.
And then there's the cost of buying into the Microsoft ecosystem.
There is also a cost into not buying into Android when developing mobile apps, there is also a cost into not buying into Linux when developing server software. It comes down to, what is more profitable and usable for your purposes at the end of the day.
Additionally, they're making it harder and harder for small teams or individual developers to access that material legally.
You're probably right here. But, some how that hasn't stopped a continiously growing abudance of programmers centered around Microsoft technologies searching for work.
Now go tell DELL you want a discount on your new computer because you have a 2 year old DELL. I can hear the laughter from here.
I actually have a friend that states he always gets a discount from Dell when he uses a line that he's a long term Dell customer and wonders if they have any discounts for that.
Now whether or not these were discounts readily available regardless, I don't know.
then produce a true "pro" line of machines designed for photographers, musicians, and others who will pay the cash for a machine that has the reasonable ports for the job, so one doesn't have to carry a backpack full of dongles and hubs with them everywhere.
When I annecdotally look at current modern day professionals that get commisioned by the industry, they often seem to be less knowledgable than amateurs who are in the field as a hobby... Since they are the ones with the money and are the ones that have a taste for Apple things, I don't think Apple is targetting the wrong market.
they are subject to a full refund should they fail under the local state laws.
As someone who doesn't live in the US, why do people in the US seem to always mention "local state laws" but then fail to mention the state(s) it relates to?
This is so common, I have to ask, do people in the US not have lingering feelings that this is likely a disingenuous statement because it lacks basic details that are easily researchable like I do?
I loved the movie. But, the big difference is the big laser in Tron was never advertised as a home entertainment system for video games that could make you experience the game in VR as if you were really there.
Call me back when they discover a way to transport your entire physical existence into a game where you have complete autonomy over your body, just like the world we live in today.
I'm glad that you're in a position to dictate precisely what development environment your company uses and what your customers use.
Honestly, if a large multi-national corporation like Deloitte can stay up to date much like my local dry cleaners, there is no excuse.
But yeah, obviously if you're going to use outdated software, you may as well use less efficient and other outdated software to get it working. I just won't subscribe to that mentality.
The only references to cygwin are some minor interoperability tools for converting cygwin paths, cygwin terminal support and suchlike for people in mixed environments.
That's a lot of references... Seems a bit weird that even 'clear' needs "interoperability tools for converting cygwin paths, cygwin terminal support" considering it's meant to just be a series of printfs...
well, I'm not sure what your point is, honestly. That when you run with CPU/GPU pegged, that it gets hot?
Right, you didn't read what I previously wrote:
Which is necessary when my Mac's keyboard is too hot touch
As in, I am likely to burn myself if I were to touch it. This despite all the underclocking and so on.
The only other laptops I have ever handled that are comparable to this are over a decade ago, which were Sony Vaios. I have access to current and last generation laptops from HP, Dell, ASUS, Lenovo and Apple on a regular basis and there is one one brand in that list that currently ends up becoming too hot to touch when under heavy workloads (as happens in my line of work), which happens to be the one that underclocks it's processors and GPUs too, regardless of which operating system it's running.
Let me rephrase it - if it's in the background (not on a second monitor where the window is in the foreground) perhaps it no longer needs to run the GUI?
Honestly, this is getting off topic. The point is that the Mac hardware becomes too hot to touch when applying CPU and GPU load.
I'll repeat that Second Life appears to be poorly coded, at least as far as their mac code goes.
It was just the simplest reproducable example of a load, but if you want other examples that is "programmed right":
- Do a complex scene render in Maya - Run Civ 5 with just bots competing against each other - Compile Firefox while running one of the mac 3d screensavers.
These lead to the heating issues described. Also, none of the above cause an issue on non-Mac hardware and again, can reproduce this issue on Windows using Mac hardware.
Second life has a fair few issues, but I can reproduce this with anything that pushes CPU and GPU load and the only thing realistically would happen with "better programming" is reduce the use of singletons that block renderering on the GPU and CPU which would increase the loads further.
why would it need that many resources in the background to draw that much power?
Because a lot of user generated content on Second life has a heavy reliance on alphas which is CPU bound, there is no way around that. I should also point out that this is not an issue on PC laptops typically and the same issue exists on Macs regardless of what operating system they're running.
Many people don't understand that apple sacrifices graphics performance for better battery life and cooler and more silent machines.
Which is necessary when my Mac's keyboard is too hot touch when just running Second life in the background and sounds like a hovercraft is about to take off.
MBP lovers don't care about GPU's. They care their MBP to run silent and not too hot.
Let it go, let it go~ Can't hold it back anymore! Let it go, let it go~ Turn away and slam the door! I don't care, what they're going to say! Let the storm rage on! The big deal never bothered me anyway.
Are they really claiming that the networked Windows 10 is more secure than the non-networked versions prior to Windows 3.11 and Windows for Workgroups? In the "old" versions the only realistic attack vector was floppy disk based viruses, which only caused the systems to misbehave, not "leak" data.
Before Windows provided it's own networking functionality, that stuff was handed off to other products like Netware. I'd dare say that they were more insecure considering how once you had access to a system over it, you had complete access due to Windows' failure to implement users and permission schemes on the filesystem, unlike other operating systems available at the time.

Do you have any data that shows otherwise?
Not for mainstream, mainstream support ended.

Anime warned me this is bad juju technology.
No it doesn't. You just get to write the article on Telegra.ph and optionally sign a name if you want.
Do you mean "NNTP servers"? As "usenet servers" would just mean you're still connected to Usenet in some way?

Also it seems the vast majority of executable are statically compiled with cygwin references?
I guess you have a point for people that run outdated software, fortuantely I don't subscribe to that mentality.
I never really poked it very much, but I just installed it to check again and I don't really believe you when you say it doesn't use Cygwin for anything?
Honestly, I think Microsoft's "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" is one of the best so far.
You do know that's actually just a small cygwin distribution, right?

Don't they support eGPU over the USB-C ports though?
Isn't eGPU supported on the USB-C interfaces though?
He's talking about Louis Rossman's recent video where connecting a device to a specific USB-C plug caused the wireless on the new MBP to cut out.
Which is necessary when my Mac's keyboard is too hot touch when just running Second life in the background and sounds like a hovercraft is about to take off.
I know, it's just embarassing enough as it is.
I have friends in Japan that can't even get any type of Internet connection in their apartments...
