MacOS software updates are free. The issue is that suddenly Apple decides your perfectly functioning computer is no longer supported, and after that in a matter of 2 years you will no longer find any new software for your OS, and then you have 3 options:

  • Buy a new computer.
  • Hackintosh it with a dosdude patch to use the latest version of MacOS.
  • Just install GNU/LINUX.

This comic is old, Mac major OS updates used to cost money.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 year ago

Super old. It went to $129 before becoming free. This is like 20yo.

Snow leopard was 30USD!

My MacBook Air is 3 years old and I just installed Sonoma on it, runs great! 👍

[-] torvusbogpod@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I think they're referring to the fact that you can only continue using an unsupported version of MacOS for two years, not that the computer will only get two years of support.

Minor Mac update available! -> 1 hour to install it

[-] rx480@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

redownload whole os

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'm mostly fine with it because my work buys my equipment so asking for new hardware is easy. Buuut you are absolutely right that we need a systemic fix for this. It's anti-consumer for there not to be some required support length of like 5 years or something

[-] geogle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I have been replacing work laptops every 4 years and home ones every 5 to 6. I've never had an os update issue. I suspect your concerns are more than 15 years old.

[-] skarn@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

You think that's a lot? I don't have a single laptop younger than 6 years, at home or work.

Why is it sideways

[-] Dude123@lemmy.world 60 points 1 year ago

Imagine questioning a free neck stretch

[-] massacre@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

A legit guffaw this early in the day? Thank you for that.

[-] massacre@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

The better question is can we have picture controls to rotate/drag-to-enlarge with in-line media?

[-] bi_tux@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Idk, I took a normal pictuer, but when uploading it, it somehow rotated

[-] d_k_bo@feddit.de 14 points 1 year ago

Maybe your picture was rotated by changing its metadata (it was not reencoded in a new direction) and pict-rs didn't handle that metadata correctly. If I find the time, I'll try it myself.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Somehow, palpatine has rotated

[-] shrugal@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

From my point of view the Jedi are sideways!

Why do Mac updates cost money?

[-] everett@lemmy.ml 64 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They actually used to, until like 10 years ago. This comic is from before then.

[-] drudoo@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I remember going to the Apple Store and picking up Snow Leopard on a DVD. Good times.

[-] everett@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Very nice. I remember gazing longingly at all things Mac during this era. But then I found Ubuntu, and then Debian… and that was that.

[-] greavous@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

They don't anymore. This is a very old reference!

[-] likeaduck@programming.dev 14 points 1 year ago

Its a joke

[-] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 10 points 1 year ago

Don't give them ideas

[-] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They already used to charge for major updates (just like Microsoft did).
