By the way, due to the Release of 10.8.3 Beta 1 on Developer.Apple.Com, I am now back at Mountain Lion. Had to return to Lion or Mountain Lion anyways as my Snow Leopard Disk is 32 Bit Only, and Xcode 4.6 Developer Preview 2 does NOT work with Snow Leopard and I recently had to use XCode 4.6 Developer Preview 2 to Provision my brand new Apple IPad Mini for IOS 6.1 Beta 2.

and you don't think Apple's Bad Relationship with Samsung might have something to do with the High Price of Samsung Ram on Apple's Website? I certainly do.

no, because the ram price has ALWAYS been that high. you could check all the way back to 2000 and it was still probably that high. it has nothing to do with the bad Apple Samsung relationship

ask anyone on here that's used apple products for years and they'll be able to tell you

There are no specific hardware requirements for the ADP besides having a Mac that runs a current version to support Xcode. Anyways, I know hardware and software are not entirely overlapping realms of knowledge but shouldn't you still have at least a basic grasp of it as a developer? The Mac Mini 2010 uses standard DDR3 SODIMMs (the kind that are used in laptops). If you buy some that are "too fast", they will just run at the fastest speed that your Mac Mini supports with no harm done. In any case, you are not the first person to face the dilema of upgrading the RAM in a 2010 Mac Mini, and if your have any doubts the answer is just a google search away. You have plenty of cash to get 8 GB of RAM and an SSD to breath some life into your Mac... so don't waste it by being daft.

Yeah, I noticed that they are charging $300 to Increase the RAM on the Late 2012 Mac Mini to the Maximum Amount of RAM! :-(

That was the Main Reason why I decided to Forego Buying a New 2012 Mac Mini and just boost the RAM and add a SSD like you guys Recommended, Apple is NOT even offering a SSD with the $599 2012 Mac Mini and they are somewhat Expensive on the $799 and $999 2012 Mac Mini's! :-(

yeah, 99% of the time even the "Apple Geniuses" at apple stores will even tell you go ahead and get your ram/hard-drive upgrades from newegg and such, because even they realize that there's no reason to have to pay that much to upgrade parts

What I was saying is in order to participate in the Apple IOS Beta's (like I am doing right now) I have to Register my Apple IOS Devices with the Apple IOS Developer Portal using Xcode. Otherwise, the IOS Beta' s will fail to install properly. Oh and by the way, Although I do NOT have a Developer Education, I do have an IT Background Education even though I am currently Unemployeed (I have a Certification in Computer Networking), however, the College that I attended mainly trained us on Windows 2000 Client and Server OS's. Just FYI.

I also have my own Website where I have set up a Word Press Blog that is Registered and Hosted by Godaddy.com. it' s at both kevinpanzke.com and kevinpanzke.co. Just FYI.

      The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair

      If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.

      The high cost of labor and operating within the US. Donald hasn't been able to figure that out--pathetic.
