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.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
