![]() Whatever Apple might come up with by way of solving the problem of running Windows and old Intel versions of macOS on Apple Silicon systems, there’s nothing like giving users the choice of a real Intel processor on which to run their virtualisation software. This is an ideal time to start this new old product line too. You’d hardly expect someone in the market for a modern iMac or Mac Pro, or one of the unannounced Apple Silicon models, to be impressed with the past, unless of course they might collect classic models in the same way that many collect classic cars. Those classic Macs wouldn’t distract change champions from buying new products. As those users needed to replace their existing Macs, they’d be able to continue buying from Apple rather than shopping around for spares on eBay. Apple’s only overhead would be a small team of software engineers curating macOS 10.14 to eliminate its remaining bugs.įor those challenged by change, it would be a compelling purchase, for Apple a steady seller over the next half dozen years or more. Every cent of their development costs has already been repaid many times over. Imagine for a moment two or three carefully chosen older Intel Macs bundled with a non-upgradable but maintained version of macOS Mojave. ![]() If you run macOS, iOS, etc., Apple will do everything to enourage you to keep upgrading your hardware and software: resistance is futile, and now quite hard work. It uses all manner of devices to nudge or persuade us to keep upgrading our operating systems, Mac hardware and more. It’s curious that Apple, a vociferous supporter of diversity in the workplace, doesn’t see the choice of change in the same terms. After all, who’d want to sell old products to old fogies like them? It’s a market in which Apple has no presence, nor it would seem any aspirations. For every Swift fan evangelising religiously, there’s at least one doubter who’ll stand fast with Objective-C, or even C++, rather than go Swiftly to the devil.Įvery day I hear from faithful Mac users who long for the time before the dreaded Butterfly keyboard, when displays had matte rather than shiny surfaces, and when they could still run 32-bit apps. It goes deeper into development, with wars between languages like Objective-C and Swift. Yet I’m now on the wrong side of 65 (in some respects, at least) and can’t wait to order my first Apple Silicon Mac. Some of the most staunchly conservative when it comes to change are kids. In the latter case, there are plenty who live at the bleeding edge who’ll be trying to order the new release before the end of the event, and many others who’ll be content to look at their existing Mac/iPhone/iPad/Watch and shrug their shoulders. It’s the same as with WWDC, or new product announcements. People are different, and technology needs to learn to live with that. We need to appreciate that there’s nothing wrong with either response, nor various shades in between. For what it’s worth, I was delighted, as it provided me with another puzzling update to unravel, and the hope that it would leave Catalina in a better state for those who’d rather not move on to Big Sur, at least for a while yet. ![]() Your response is one gauge of whether change is a challenge which you’d usually prefer to decline, or whether you’re more like to champion it. Add Creative Cloud apps to "Network → Filtered Applications" and unchecked them.What was your reaction last week to the surprise release of the macOS 10.15.7 update? Were you pleasantly surprised, or did you curse Apple for yet another update in the space of just over a week? ![]() "CCLibrary" and "CCXProcess" (sometimes both but sometimes only one of them.) So here is some info and what I tried to troubleshooting: This happens as soon as I boot up my Mac, not every time but very often (I believe it has something to do with the order of launch.) Yesterday I finally updated to Big Sur, everything works fine but AdGuard is causing some Creative Cloud stuff running 100% CPU and the fan is blowing like crazy. Have been using AdGuard 2 years, absolutely love it! ![]()
