Mainly desktop publishing, 1080p video editing, research etc.

:p

It was joke. I'm running OS X Mountain Lion on a 27-inch iMac. I couldn't get any of my work done using an iMac G3 running the Mac OS X Public Beta.

That's a shame, I really love stories of how people use outdated technology in their lives :(

Maybe you wanna talk to the many Lion users who are stuck with it on their unupgradeable machines?

OH SNAP!!! :laugh:

Nah seriously, my fianc? belongs to that sorry group of users... I'd ADORE to upgrade her to Mountain Lion, but her Macbook won't work with it. :(

I think dropping the 32bit kernel is good, what is not good, is not giving Mountain Lion the same system requirements as Lion.

I mean, really, ML is what Lion should have been and everyone and their dog knows Lion is slowing down the system and only has a half-a**ed integration of iCloud.

Back on topic:

I know what you're talking about and I feel the same.

Retro is cool in a way and I'll definitely get some older Macs later on, mostly for collecting them, I don't have specific plans what to do with them.

They are just beautifully crafted and better than a lot of designer room decorations out there.

(Sometimes even much cheaper :p)

My next apartment will definitely see a good old 1950's telephone made from bakelite.

Awww. Well, my mom still uses a 2005 eMac (1,42 GHz G4) running OS X Leopard on a daily basis. Did that cheer you up a bit?

OS X Lion on a mid-2011 Mac Book Pro (first SB batch I think). I won't be going ML anytime soon as it is incompatible with our corporate network - Lion was too and I only moved to Lion in May'12.

Snow Leopard on Mid-2010 iMac. No reason for me to move past that right now. Really not into the whole iOS integration since I don't have an i-device yet (other than the iMac). I have looked at the other goodies in ML and yet, just can't get myself to fork over the $$$ for what little I would use or need at the moment.

Might upgrade later though. ;)

Running 10.6.8 on my 13" MacBook (Late 2009). I've been considering upgrading to 10.8, but I'm dragging my feet waiting to see if they fix the battery drain bug first. I like getting 7+ hours out of my battery, I'd hate to have that drop to half.

Yeah they just seeded 10.8.1 to developers, so it should be out soon...

Late 2008 MacBook (polycarbonate) on Lion. I would have upgraded to Mountain Lion if mine was officially supported. I know it's definitely possible to install it; not sure if I should do it though.

  • 5 weeks later...

I'm running Snow Leopard on a Macbook i was given for free. As it's the first Mac i've owned after being a long time Windows user, i'm still figuring things out.

I unearthed a MB that I havent used in a while and its running 10.7.4 (dont know the names). Is there any reason to upgrade to 10.8?

    • I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.
    • Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.
    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.
