In this house right now: - Apple TV - Two Macbook Airs - Ipad Mini - Original iPod - Two Airport Extremes - Iphone 5S - Burly-as-fuck Mac Pro (the old, good kind) - Mac Mini By the time I bought my first mac I'd built a dozen PCs. My father maintained a network of a thousand of them. The first time I helped swap a hard drive we used a soldering iron. I was running Adaptec SCSI cards when some of their troubleshooting instructions involving checking continuity on traces with a voltmeter. But I bought my first mac 14 years ago so I can safely say I've had my feet in both camps. Apple has gone to shit. Total, utter shit. Yaay. iPad Pro. Can I get a Mac Pro that I can put cards into that will run faster than my eight year old tower that doesn't cost nine thousand dollars? And yeah - I know 60% of their revenue is now phones, and 10% is computers. But I'm really looking forward to Huawei eating their fucking lunch. I'm having to seriously contemplate building a goddamn PC to run Pro Tools. It's f'n ridiculous. The "high end" that used to trickle down? We're just sitting around hoping they open-source OSX and get it over with because sweet baby jesus this is untenable.
Not going to happen, but I bet a few high end audio software vendors throwing developer time or money at GNUStep could get whatever services they need from OsX cloned so they can port elsewhere relatively easily.We're just sitting around hoping they open-source OSX and get it over with because sweet baby jesus this is untenable.
