Because if you use apps like CherryOS, it wouldn't need to worry about file system differences, because it Mac OSX could recognise your drive.

As it has NTFS support (read only too, I believe) it doesn't mean you can install the o/s onto an NTFS formatted drive :)

Um, you do realize just because it can read/write to a filesystem (read only in the case of NTFS), that it does not mean it can install to that filesystem. Mac OS X generally only installs to the Mac OS Extended FS (usually journaled now of days), and I think Server can install to UFS as well, but not sure why you would do that. Older OS X's may install just to the normal Mac OS FS. Isn't that HPFS anyhow and Apple just changed the name?

Client can be installed on UFS also. OS X may have ben able to use the original HFS (not sure), but definitely not on large volumes.

I wasn't sure about Client, I just usually pick OS Extended Journaled anyhow. :) May have been on the older G3's and such which still had small hard drives, the whole 8GB thing with them.

It's generally a pretty good indication with Apple that a new OS will be released soon when they release 10.x.9.

It was less then a month from OS 10.2.9 until they released Panter.

Actually OS 10.2.8 :) 10.2.9 was never released, not sure if there were seeded builds or not.

OS X was never able to install on original HFS volumes. HFS+ came in with System 8.1 (which is the same system the original iMac had) so pretty much every machine capable of running OS X would have an HFS+ formatted drive anyway.

The original HFS would not have been POSIX compliant enough for the BSD-basis of OS X (HFS+ isn't entirely POSIX compliant either, as you cannot have filenames which differ only by case, i.e Install and INSTALL would be the same file on HFS+, but with ext2 for example they would be completely different files (this isn't the same as remembering case, HFS+ will remember the case of a filename, it just can't have two files which differ only by case)).

10.3.9 builds continue with 7W86

On late Friday, Apple seeded its Apple Developer Connection members the latest build of the Mac OS X 10.3.9 update, now reported to be at build 7W86.

This new build is about 113.3 MB in size, and the included seed note offers some insight as to what is new in this build compared to previous seeds:

- Issues where enumerating a WebDAV volume via Carbon may fail when a device returns an error were fixed.

- JavaScript function unescape() no longer returns invalid value on certain webpages.

- Inlcudes fixes from Security Update 2005-003.

- iDisk Syncing issues from previous seeds were resolved.

Apple is still asking developers to continue testing in many areas, including AFP file transfers, Bluetooth, DVD Player, Fonts, FireWire devices, Mail, iDisk syncing, Networking, Printing, Safari, Sleep, Terminal, USB devices, and general system stability.

    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      PowerToys is getting a new window management utility by Taras Buria If you use PowerToys on Windows 11 or 10, you probably know that the app has quite a few utilities for window management. Fancy Zones, Always on Top, Crop and Lock, just to name a few. Soon, Microsoft will add another one, and fans of Alt + Tab should be excited. Proposed by Clint Rutkas, the module has a very simple idea: use a keyboard shortcut to toggle between windows within one app. For example, if you have four browser windows open, Alt + ` will let you switch between them just like Alt + Tab switches between all running apps. Here is the utility description from its GitHub pull request: Like other PowerToys utilities, Alt Window Cycle will offer shortcut customization. You will be able to use default shortcuts (Alt + ` for the next window or Alt + Shift + ` for the previous one) or remap them to something else. For now, there is no information on when Alt Window Cycle will arrive, so we will have to wait for the next PowerToys feature update (Microsoft usually pushes them on a monthly basis). Recently, Microsoft released version 0.100, which reworked the shortcuts guide, introduced an extension gallery for Command Palette, and more. Shortly after, version 0.100.1 arrived as a bug-fixing update. PowerToys is available on Windows 10 and 11, and you can get the app from the official GitHub repository, the Microsoft Store, or winget. Although Windows 10 is no longer supported, PowerToys developers currently do not plan to drop the now-unsupported operating system. And with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year in the Extended Security Update, you can expect PowerToys to remain available on Windows 10 for quite a while.

      This is sadly what happens when a company tries to become political and focus on agendas outside gaming, the constant push of inclusivity and whatever the current thing was and box ticking, instead of simply focusing on what was a great game to many myself included, massive let down that a once great game company has ended up this way hopefully this will be a lesson to game devs from here on in to leave politics and agendas out of gaming

      Prices for consumer electronic stink and will continue to stink for quite some time. If you're at all hesitant, just buy now because it's not getting better. (or buy used and save even more cash)
