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 2 years ago

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

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago

Snow leopard was 30USD!

[-] bloodtide@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] torvusbogpod@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

redownload whole os

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

Imagine questioning a free neck stretch

[-] massacre@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] massacre@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] d_k_bo@feddit.de 14 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Somehow, palpatine has rotated

[-] shrugal@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

From my point of view the Jedi are sideways!

Why do Mac updates cost money?

[-] everett@lemmy.ml 64 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] drudoo@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

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

[-] everett@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] likeaduck@programming.dev 14 points 2 years ago

Its a joke

[-] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 10 points 2 years ago

Don't give them ideas

[-] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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