Mac OS X 'Leopard'-related Discussion


Recommended Posts

I just hope for now, that the new 10.4.9 will fix the slow airport speed problem on Core2Duo iMacs with "n" capable airport cards, while connected in "g" mode....

It's so frustrating to have an airport connection that cannot go above 400 Kb/s of network speed.... :angry:

(10.3.9 came after 10.4 was released iirc.)

Are you sure about that? I remember using Mac OS X 10.3.9 for a few days before switching to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and I did that virtually the same day it hit GM.

10.3.9 was a crazy update, it like doubled the responsiveness of the OS. Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger on the other hand was extremely buggy, and compared to 10.3.8 it still is. I don't understand why "Duplicate" doesn't work when selecting a drive and for some reason Mail's main window still won't hide at login when telling it to in System Preferences.

Anyone have the issue of when you click 'Show bluetooth status in menu bar' and it does nothing, you close the bluetooth preferences and nothing appears in the toolbar, open it back up, its suddenly unticked itself. This only happens when its been unticked for a while, couple of reboots etc, well for me anyway...

I want to buy a macbook and I think I should wait, cause Apple does not offer you a free upgrade like when you buy a windows xp laptop couple months before the release of Vista.

microsoft did that for being 2 years late and taking out feqtures otu of their OS, it was their apology

I can reproduce that (Core 2 Duo iMac). So it's not just you.

Apple does something similar, but only once they announce the official release date of the OS, usually it's only good for a few weeks before the release of the OS. Remember that the official release date of Vista was announced by Microsoft several months ahead of time while Apple makes their announcements only weeks or days ahead of release. Also, those "free" Vista upgrades are promotions run by the computer OEM's, not Microsoft, and not all OEM's do that, just the major ones.

Here's an idea: buy a refurbished Macbook from Apple and put aside the money you saved to go towards your Leopard purchase.

Ignorance abounds around here :rolleyes:

No.

K thanks. A "buddy" of mine says an April release is estimated.

Wiat for 45nm and LED LCD to be put into the iMAC or their future laptops... thats what im doing.. possibly ddr 3 will be in them as well :x

When are they due?

No, it was to satisfy retaillers who would have otherwise had a difficult christmas full of customers waiting until after Vista arrived to buy their new PC.

There will always be something better the longer you wait...

Not my point. My point is if new Macs are due very soon, it would be stupid to buy one right now. Seems like I have been waiting forever for these new Macs/Leopard.

LED LCD is NOT coming anytime soon, some people took the anouncement from samsung a bit too far. The displays they were showing are only capable of 262K colors http://aving.net/usa/news/default.asp?mode...mp;mn_name=news

My point is that there are almost always new Macs due very soon with new imbedded gadgets: There are rumours every month of the year about potentially new hardware. IMO you should wait for the next iMac rev/generation before purchasing one because the current models are more than 4 months old and perhaps for Mac OS X Leopard, I'm doing that as well. What you definitely shouldn't do is wait for the next iMac rev/generation because it might feature new hardware type X or Y. ;)

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
