This is going to make running a DisplayLink (not DisplayPort) display very onerous if not impossible.

I guess I only get to use 2 external screens if I'm forced to upgrade my work mac.

Every day we march closer and closer to a neutered IOS walled garden on OSX and it makes me sad because I otherwise love OSX.

They should go the OTHER way, relaxing iOS.

They are (when forced by the EU).

Sorry Apple, but I have no intention to pay 100€ per year for the privilege to notarise an application I have up for free on a GitHub repo no matter how shitty you make the process.

At the moment I'm just linking to https://disable-gatekeeper.github.io/ and hoping that if anyone ever comes across my repo, that they know how to read and won't bother me about it. Maybe in the future the optimal solution would be to just not provide any pre-built binaries.

I presume this annoyance is just something you will go through when running the app the first time.

Ack, I didn't reply to the right comment. I was referring to the new weekly and every reboot prompt about screen recording: https://9to5mac.com/2024/08/06/macos-sequoia-screen-recordin...

It also adds a new permission prompt for screenshot and screen recording apps that doesn’t allow a user to permanently grant permission, but requires a weekly re-authorization. https://9to5mac.com/2024/08/06/macos-sequoia-screen-recordin...

I hate the periodic location permission prompts on iOS. Big tech companies are increasingly paternalistic with this stuff, like their users are all idiots who need to be managed like little children. Some other examples I've recently encountered: - 1Password requires supplying a password hint when changing the master password. - Unifi OS enforcing password quality requirements even when locally/self hosted. - "Set up…

> "Set up later" (instead of "No") as the negative option for various "helpful" feature prompts in iOS.

I'm OK with this. When the prompt appears, you're very much trying to do something else, and ya don't need the detour. "Bug me l8r plz."

This will mostly affect advanced users. Hopefully, my next update will be Asahi, once its hardware support (especially HDMI output) has advanced enough.

I tried Asahi on my older M1 macbook and the battery life is still very bad. I am pretty experienced trying to dive into CPU schedulers and kernel settings, etc. to try and fix it, but I was unable to squeeze more than about 3 hours of battery out of the laptop WHILE CLOSED! In contrast just booting up mac os the battery lasts about 36 hours+ while closed.

Yes, make macOS more and more like iPadOS so their users can do less and less other than buying apps from the app store and scrolling through the slop on Safari.

Apple kinda reminds me of Intel in the 2010's ( not 1-1 comparison ), hollowed and rotting inside but in a constant party because $$ coming in and line going up..

They wrongly think because they control the dials when things start to go south they can just step on the gas and change course, it's a fools illusion because the people who actually can make a difference will not be there and the whole organization already is tuned for the wrong incentives, so when Tim Apple's minions step of the gas... nothing will happen other than pumping out more "beautiful, amazing, thinner" but useless slop.
