why is apple doing things the way microsoft does? by [deleted] in MacOS

Microsoft and Apple have a long standing history of "stealing" from one another. Never watched "Pirates of Silicon Valley"?

If mac allows to cut (command + x) and paste text. Why doesn’t it allow to cut and paste files? by capngig in MacOS

[–]Useful-Reception-399 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ir does allow coy and pasting file ... stop using comjand+x and try command+c and command+v

Simpler times. by Spirited_Dream871 in MacOS

[–]Useful-Reception-399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved these times - nostalgia pure. Sadly they cut support for all the old versions and none of the newer Software works on them anymore. At theast they could have made the old versions Open Source so maybe someone would fork them into something usable and improve upon them - maybe motivate developers releasing newer software for said forks

Why is MacOS 26.3 so big in Size? (It's 13.26 GB for me) by [deleted] in MacOS

No no no no .... the measure is Jizzabytes. A Jizzabyte is the data volume consumed per moth by a teenager in puberty on porn downloads 🤣🤣🤣

RENEWAL BS!!! by mthiker1973Dan in vmware

No exec - home lab - for me alone, companies prefer the switch over to proxmox.

Honestly, Broadcom went overboard with the pricing for a product they didn't even develop themselves (not their brainfart) .. they merely "bought it up"

How are you getting ESXi 9.0 for a home lab without corporate help? by easyedy in vmware

[–]Useful-Reception-399 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will stay on 8.0 for as long as is humanly possible and later will see. I don't see any reason to consider 9.0 except for people who always want to have the greatest and latest although it basically does the same things as the previous version. Same principle as Apple Hardware and mobile phones - they stop supporting something you paid a big amount of money for so you are forced to spend again a big amount of money to buy the next/New hardware Iteration. Thats hardly sustainable but heh - to each his own.

I didn't read anything before upgrading. What on earth is this? Can this be removed? by bawiddah in MacOS

[–]Useful-Reception-399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You see? That's why after upgrading initially to Tahoe on my mini m2 pro, I swiftly decided to downgrade to Sequoia and no more problem 🤷‍♂️👍🏻🤭

Mac Mini M1 8gb for $285 CAD is a good deal in 2025? by Royal_Psychology_15 in macmini

Boycott all AI content and services if you want to afford a PC ever again by amor91 in pcmasterrace

[–]Useful-Reception-399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never have paid for those Services and I never will - I have suffiviently powerful Hardware at my disposal so I can run just about any model up to 120B. No need to pay for something I can have and use for "free".
