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.
Minor Mac update available! -> 1 hour to install it
redownload whole os
My MacBook Air is 3 years old and I just installed Sonoma on it, runs great! 👍
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.
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
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.
You think that’s a lot? I don’t have a single laptop younger than 6 years, at home or work.
This comic is old, Mac major OS updates used to cost money.
Super old. It went to $129 before becoming free. This is like 20yo.
Why is it sideways
Imagine questioning a free neck stretch
A legit guffaw this early in the day? Thank you for that.
Idk, I took a normal pictuer, but when uploading it, it somehow rotated
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.

Somehow, palpatine has rotated
From my point of view the Jedi are sideways!

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

I don’t trust anyone teaching about computers who can’t run a competent slideshow.
