Gotcha. I guess that’s the difference between programmer humor and computer architect humor.

Isn’t zero the same in base-2 as it is in base-10? Wouldn’t first place be 1, second place be 10, and third place 11?

Do yourself a favor and swap the battery when you do the storage. The most challenging part of the job is carefully prying apart the housing without causing cosmetic damage.

What’s interesting is the Apple CoreAudio system on iOS and macOS is as good as it is from their experience developing the iPod. For years after the iPod was discontinued, audiophiles were paying top dollar for used iPod Classics, just for the high quality DAC. The low-latency and high quality of CoreAudio is one of the reasons Pro Tools works better on Mac than on Windows.

Oh, gotcha. I thought you were talking about limitations, not features. My misunderstanding.

I agree it’s not as limitless as Linux, but there’s plenty of room for advanced users.

I’ve never needed to use a newer version of Bash. What is an example of something one couldn’t do with Bash 3 or zsh?

Sure you can. You can even override the T2 chip in Recovery Mode. The thing I miss on an Apple Silicon Mac is installing Windows. It was a big downside for me, so I held onto my Intel Mac until a few years ago. I used to have a tri-boot Mac Pro running Snow Leopard/Windows XP/Red Hat. Then I downgraded to an Intel iMac with macOS/Windows before my M2. I do miss the versatility of Intel Macs.

Yeah, the people at Pixar have no clue how to use a computer. Lol

In all seriousness, even the same media software, like Pro Tools, is more versatile on Mac than on Windows. I can say that with first-hand experience.

The “dumbed-down” Apple device is the iPhone. You get admin privileges on MacOS like a big boy. You can use bash or zsh commands in Terminal all you want.

Macs excel in multimedia creation. It’s not just a cool setup. Yes, I’m prepared for the inevitable downvotes.

I’m afraid. I’m afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it.

There was also a program that would open the CD-ROM drive and play a raspberry noise at random intervals. It was a fun prank to set it to run at login.

I miss XP SP3. Absolutely the best Windows OS made.
