Apple has been going down hill at an exponential rate since the loss of Steve (and subsequently just about all real engineers at Apple). Swift is turning into a mess and SwiftUI is…

Tahoe’s UI is a disaster. Giant buggy controls. Sad to see where macOS has ended up. Apple used to have so much attention to detail in their UI design - now it looks like it’s “any…

And Canada too.

Pathetic.

Human accelerated change is the concern.

I long for a modern NeXTStep-like OS. A polished, consistent, solid operating system that is lean, clean and simply focused on getting things done. It should be predictable in ever…

Use it every day and still no idea where anything really is in there. What a shitshow.

Not sure.

This might be the main issue with software at Apple getting so much worse. Bertrand knew what he was doing. Apple's (and NeXT's) OS used to be an OS, not a collection of toy apps.

The problem is the materials used. Greedy developers building junk homes and making bank. People in those areas are able to afford fire resistant housing but most of them are being…

Actually, in the long run, it's likely to make good engineers a lot more scarce.

It is a webpage that was quickly put together. We are a small company and our focus has been on the product. You can run Linux and macOS currently. That is listed on the features p…

Yes, VMTek does snapshots natively and takes advantage of APFS. We have a great graphical snapshot UI as well.

Also check out https://www.getvmtek.com for something very polished. We just released a huge update a few days ago.

This is self promotion, but we genuinely have a great solution to this with a free (no commitment) trial: FireStream https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/app/firestream-upnp-dlna-med...…

The app launch delays still occur when the internet connection is slow or lossy even in Ventura beta.

Do you really have to ask?

Insteon isn't closed - it had an open and documented protocol and was supported by various software. It did not require "the cloud" either. The problem with Insteon is it was low q…

The same thing is happening in video games and even software. Technology is advancing but quality and talent are vanishing.

The Russian state media are reporting lie after lie - see some of the real footage from the war that you can easily find anywhere online and compare to what they are reporting. You…

Check out FireStream, it's a modern DLNA server for macOS: https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/app/firestream-upnp-dlna-med...

Borderline? It's far beyond that by now.

Seems like a problem with VSCode. Write more of your own code. If your app is made up of more packages and dependencies than you can audit then you're doing it wrong. Consider Open…
