Apple celebrates its 50th anniversary, the story that began on April 1, 1976, in a garage.
With the iPhone, he revolutionized our lives, “Think Different” his iconic slogan.
Apple on siirtänyt iPhone 4 ja iPhone 5 -mallit virallisesti vanhentuneiden (obsolete) tuotteiden listalleen
Muutos tarkoittaa sitä, että puhelimiin ei saa enää varaosia eikä huoltopalveluita.

MacBook Neo: Does Apple's budget Mac move PC users to switch?
A post by Apple CEO Tim Cook suggests that the new MacBook Neo is particularly moving PC users to switch. It is the cheapest MacBook ever.

Classic Mac experts – do you know if/where the contents of the system error handler area on a Mac Plus (so using 128kB ROMs) are defined?
This area runs from 0x3FFC80 to 0x3FFCFF – between the primary frame buffer and the sound/PWM buffer – on a 4MB system. Memory locations 0x3FFC80-0x3FFCBF seem to be used to store all 16 CPU registers, but the rest seems difficult to figure out.
Why after avoiding Apple for decades, I'm buying the new Apple Neo
I have been almost entirely in the #Google ecosystem since the dawn of Google, and in fact bought my first Android phone the first day the first Android phone (the venerable G1 with the slide-out keyboard, which I still have and still boots, though with an open source OS version) became available. All my smartphones since then have been Android -- I don't expect that to change.
Other than the single purchase of a tiny iPod Nano long ago, I have avoided #Apple hardware due (among other things) to its typically outrageous pricing and lack of competition in the hardware manufacturing space.
In fact, I made an anti-Apple decision long, long ago, when I chose to work with the 8080/Z80 CPU microcomputers rather than the 68000 series CPUs that Apple chose for its early Macintosh and Lisa lines.
Of course my main work over the decades has been with UNIX/Linux, my servers are and have always run these, and my primary desktops are Linux as well. There are also a number of Chromebooks, Android tablets, Android/Google based TV devices, and some Windows systems for compatibility with needed Windows apps. There more stuff of course but you get the idea.
Along the way I've frequently been asked about issues related specifically to Apple iOS and MACs, and I have simply replied that I don't have expertise with those.
So I've long been aware of this gap, but couldn't justify the expense of any Apple hardware simply for the purpose of filling that gap.
Two events have changed this a bit. First it's clear that both Google and Apple have been moving with notable speed ever farther into the Dark Side, with their billionaire CEOs embracing fascist Trump and seemingly everything evil that he represents.
This creates an interesting dynamic, if one feels that purely open source systems cannot completely fulfill one's required hardware and software needs. In essence, the question becomes is it better to deal mainly with a single Evil Big Tech firm, or split your needs in some respects across two of them (or three, if we include Windows requirements and Microsoft).
For now I view the "split" as the most practical choice -- for me, anyway -- and the new Apple #Neo (whose macOS runs a largely usable UNIX under the hood) represents what seems to be the most cost effective current path to this (it does appear to be a disruptive design in terms of capabilities and pricing, that may give Google's Chromebooks a run for their money, especially in the educational space).
Anyway, just thought I'd mention all this -- more than you wanted to know, of course.
Best,
L

The MacBook Neo has me thinking about trying a Mac for portable use again. We've got a MacBook Pro here that died in the middle of Covid. It stopped booting, black screen. I'm wondering if it's worth hauling into an Apple store (an 80 mile trip for me) to see if it can be revived. Or is it too old to be worth it, or is it even supported. Probably a 2017 model. Thoughts Mac folk?

Although the Mac mini with the Apple M4 chip does have a pretty respectable graphics performance given its small size, it's still nowhere near my boring, old gaming PC.
I just ran the "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" benchmark on the M4 and managed to get around 25-35fps in a 1440p resolution. Just for comparison, I then booted up my PC and ... well... it managed over 200fps. On 2160p 4K with highest settings. Holy cow! Probably not a fair fight.😅

Succinct and genuinely insightful. I’m technically-minded enough to enjoy digging into the engineering of MacBooks and iPhones—even things I don’t use, like cars or weapons. But ultimately, tools are means to an end—inspiration, possibility, vision, renewal. Apple is the one tech company that actually cares about this—maybe 5%, maybe 1%, certainly far behind profits, marketing, design, logistics. But they do care about it, and that matters.

I’m probably just now noticing something that’s really old news to other people, but I became a little tired of having to go into the advanced Safari settings to briefly turn on JavaScript for the very brief moment I needed it on my iPhone. I generally keep it off except for those times when I absolutely need it on my mobile device. Today, I thought I could find it quicker by searching for it. If I go to the settings app and I explicitly look for JavaScript, no results show up at all. I think if you’re a developer of any operating system, and you have a search function, I think that should be able to find advance options as well as surface level options. #Apple #SoftwareDev

The Macbook Neo is a great product, except the amount of RAM. At 8 GB with MacOS, you are constantly, and I mean, constantly swapping. It' just not enough. It's enough for Linux (although it lately has become bloated too; Fedora/Ubuntu need 4 GB for an equivalent experience), but MacOS needs a lot of tightening to get such a product out of the door and call it a day with so little RAM.
RAM, RAM, RAM. Only thing that matters on a computer.

It boot, supports 80-columns, reads the clock, reads disk data from a shared ProDOS file on the IIe's hard disk.
Stated plans from the author, Seth Kushniryk, include Super Serial and Uthernet II support as well as running CP/M-80 on MS-DOS on ProDOS with a V20 swapped in for the 8088.

A #privacy warning about 5G Network Slicing...
According to Verizon, network slicing is somewhat akin to a #VPN. It allows carriers to isolate and prioritize certain traffic, from apps, to specific endpoints, special hardware, etc.
On iPhone devices, Apple calls this feature "Enhance 5G for Apps", which sounds like a good thing. Verizon states that 5G networks lend themselves especially well to this technology.
However, entire categories of apps are shared with your mobile carrier if you have this setting enabled. AFAIK, it is enabled by default. Check your settings!

Apple is giving users of old iPhones and iPads a false sense of security.
This week, Apple released security updates for iOS and iPadOS versions 15 and 16. The updates address a few old vulnerabilities leveraged by the Coruna exploit kit, which made headlines last week.
Meanwhile, Apple is knowingly leaving hundreds of security flaws unpatched—including ones exploited in other real-world attacks from various threat actors.*
Why does Apple only patch a handful of vulnerabilities that get news coverage, while ignoring others that are equally dangerous and just as likely to impact users? Does Apple care more about optics than protecting its customers? 🤔
Make sure you (and your loved ones, or people for whom you do tech support) are using Apple devices that are new enough to get the latest operating systems (e.g. iOS or iPadOS version 26), and make sure they are actually installing the latest updates.
Please share this post with your friends, relatives, and colleagues to help raise awareness. 🙏
*To be clear, this statement is not hyperbole. The 170+ CVEs that I showcase in this meme represent only those that Apple has patched in iOS 26.x but hasn’t patched in iOS 15 or 16. This list doesn’t include vulnerabilities patched in iOS 17 or 18 that never got fixed for iOS 15 or 16.
