It was useful 20 years ago. Even as recently as 10 years ago. But forums like Reddit were much more accessible and interactive and helpful, and it’s been a long time since Apple Support forums were worth anything at all.

Even for the most ardent Apple fans, nothing of value is being lost here. just the departure of a somewhat charming relic of the past.

Yeah, because without understanding the meaning, you don’t realize that they’re being sarcastic.

Eureka!

Thanks a bunch!

And that’s how your iPhone became a tricorder

$.50-$.75. Maybe. They’re made from recycled plastic trash and air. They cost nearly nothing to produce.

Charging five dollars for a single pool noodle is outrageous

OK, I wanna know about the script. That sounds awesome.

There’s a lot I could do with that

Condolences on never sleeping again.

Or, perhaps, congratulations on falling asleep right away.

To “ask for the moon“ is to make an unreasonable request. The comment is a play on that saying. In this context, it means, “I’ll do the impossible”

Probably because nobody really knows quite yet

They do – – they are the carts abandoned by those people who have the “oh, I guess I didn’t need a whole cart for this one thing“ moments

It wasn’t really an extension… The nextstep user interface was just written in postscript and objective-C.

This is how the nextstep UI was so smooth and sharp and so well built for design, especially output to print. And how that translated to macOS (although the graphics display subsystem and macOS is based on the more advanced PDF, not postscript). It’s also part of the entire print sub systems, and how it was always so easy to create a PDF in the manner the OP suggests. That functionality was really only added to other operating systems later with plugins.

I suppose it’s the difference between “running the country“ and “running the country into the ground“

the best part: if/when you puke on it because looking at it gave you the spins, you can’t see the puke!

Oh, the halcyon days when you could confidently check “automatic updates“ and not have to worry about anything.

It was such a privilege when that finally became an option, and we should’ve known that they would abuse it as soon as they could.

Addiction isn’t rational

Holy shit, this really seems like something that you shouldn’t announce publicly

Fixing all of your problems by replacing them with new and much worse ones

Yes, that’s what you’re supposed to do with secrets: Hide them.

Admit it: you had fun with that
