Hey tech folk,

I've got an 'early 2013' MacBook Pro I've been happy with for years, but now I'm seeing Signal won't run on Catalina - it wants Big Sur.

I hate tech waste; bugs the crap out of me.

Looks like I can either try something like OpenCore Legacy Patcher to fool an update to Big Sur or take a first real dive into the Linux world.

Votes & thoughts appreciated, with thanks!

A boost if you have tech friends also appreciated.

It would also be a more flexible option not just for "dumb #terminals" like a VT320 or VT525, thus desireable for a lot of #legacy / #embedded setup and allow for integrating like a #serial #console into a "Managment LAN" (which should be #airgapped!)…

  • Also an #EthernetModem would really be a cost-effective option compared to proprietary solutions, espechally when one can make a #DINrail-mounted version.

So yeah, a #LAN232 / #Ethernet232 would be kinda cool, even if it's just a #PiZero 1.3 with a USB Serial & Ethernet Chip in a case.

I guess @rasteri and other #PC104 users can now get the beloved #ISA-#USB #Flashdrive card with native PC104 pinout to stack on boards.

  • Not that this is much of an engineering feat, as PC/104 is just a different form factor of ISA, but still nifty for #legacy / #industrial setups that may want to have more flexibility re: data storage.

I wounder if anyone got those ISA-USB controllers to work on #Linux distros tho.

  • Obviously they're slow (according to @TechTangents in the realm of a 1x CD-ROM drive) and not bootable, but still useful for systems without native USB ports.

I sadly don't have any system with ISA or PC/104 at hand (gotta build one i.e. #tiny486) so I can't test it anyway, but maybe a future revision of the #WeeCee may benefit from such an option (which I think also has the potential to be a good "bridge machine" for people dealing with legacy / industrial systems...

#PetPeeve: I hate that "Music" is one of the standard home folders on desktop computers. I love music, but I want it to be "Audio" -- not all audio is music (plus "audio" pairs better with "video"). When was this default established, in #MacOS X 10.0, #WinNT, earlier? (I think NextStep or BeOS might have had a "Sounds" folder.) Now, seemingly every #desktop uses this default: #Windows, #Mac, #FreeDesktop environments (#GNOME, #KDE), are there any exceptions? Like the #DesktopMetaphor itself, we're stuck with it, even though it chafes.

Never touch a running system: Und wieder einmal finden wir ein prominentes #Legacy System vor - diesmal ist es die #US-#Luftverkehrskontrolle, die seit fast drei Jahrzehnten auf #Windows 95 und Disketten läuft.

So oder so steht man nun mittlerweile aber vor der Herausforderung, dass für die Computersysteme aus 1995 so langsam keine Ersatzteile mehr zur Verfügung stehen. Daher wird die Aktualisierung der Systeme innerhalb von 4 Jahren zurzeit von der #FAA ausgeschrieben:

Zur Sitzung unseres Fachbereiches II „Ehe-Familie-Partnerschaft“ hatten wir am 14. Juni hatten wir Christian Senkel vom BMVg zu Besuch, der uns zu den Themen Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung und das neue Arbeitsfeld „Legacy“ auf den aktuellen Stand brachte.

Neben dem Hinweis auf Online-Selbsttests wurde auch das Buch „Schattige Plätzchen“ vorgestellt, das dabei helfen kann, den Dialog innerhalb der Familie zum Thema PTBS zu eröffnen.

Never touch a running system: Das Land #Berlin tut sich zunehmend schwer mit dem Ende von #Windows 10 am 14. Oktober 2025. Denn von 96.613 Windows PCs erhielten bisher nur 11.744 Geräte das erforderliche Update.

Und Sorge bereitet der Berliner Verwaltung nun insbesondere auch der Umgang mit teils jahrzehntealter #Legacy Software, die auf den Altgeräten zurzeit noch läuft.

Damit läuft aktuell alles auf einen erweiterten #Supportvertrag mit sechsstelligen Summen hinaus:

"We're honoured to have you with us. We are With You Every Day."

Today brings together Police Legacies from all around the country to raise awareness of Police Families, and the ongoing support that Police Legacy provides.

17 June 2025 is the first Australia's National Police Legacy Day.

Since the start of policing in Australia, police families have had to deal with the inherent dangers of the profession. We’ve seen families left to cope with tragedy, significant financial strain and loss, emotional distress, and challenges related to family structure and daily life.

We won’t stop until every police family member in Australia knows that we are With You Every Day.

Father's Day has me thinking about those 1950s afternoons when my father walked me to Yankee Stadium and taught me that passion doesn't require conforming to expectations. While other fathers taught sons to slide into home plate, mine taught me to appreciate the art of base stealing. We created our own legend in the shadow of the House that Ruth Built.

Beyond the Scoreboard · Creating Our Own Legend - Beyond the Scoreboard - MediumBy Angie Mangino
Futurist Jim Carroll

"Slow innovation, timid ideas, process over imagination, small-minded thinking, diminished ambition: these are the signs of an abandoned future."- Futurist Jim Carroll

So Apple had their big developer conference the other day. This is the event where they lay out their plans for the coming year and the future about software, hardware, and new lines of business.

And it seems it was an entirely ho-hum affair - essentially consisting of a new software design (that many are panning), scaling back their AI efforts, and introducing a few new features here and there, This is from the company that reinvented the phone, music, computer and other industries with bold visions, a fundamentally new technology that reimagined entire industries.

Apple finds itself trapped in what I call the "innovation plateau paradox" – having achieved such extraordinary success with revolutionary products like the iPhone and iPad that subsequent releases inevitably feel incremental by comparison.

Way back in 2014, I wrote a document - 25 Trends for 2025.

What was trend **#24** for 2025 on the list? I suggested this:

---
Apple is delisted

Once one of the world’s most innovative, cash-rich, highly valued company, Apple enters a new phase in 2025 when it is delisted from most global stock markets.

Why?

Most industry leaders never survive; there is always someone with a better idea.

It’s the age-old rule of business: incumbency is not a guarantee!

----

Tongue in cheek, my main point was that eventually, unless they keep relentlessly focused on creative innovation, every company eventually fumbles, makes mistakes, loses its mojo, and starts to fall behind. (Check out trend **#25** on my list from 2014 - it's kind of fun! And I did a full analysis of my prediction from 2014 in a post last December.)

That's where some people are pointing out how Apple seems to be drowning. Sure, it's had stunning innovation in the last few years, particularly with its staggeringly fast and extremely powerful new Mx-computer chips. But the rest? It's stumbled badly on AI, abandoned a long-running effort to get into the car industry, and failed with the mass consumer market launch of its VisionPro headset.

The real challenge isn't just about creating the "next big thing," but about maintaining innovative momentum when you've already transformed entire industries.

When it's one big announcement is something like "liquid glass," you have to wonder.

Futurist Jim Carroll is working hard at working to make trend **#25** on his original 25 Trends for 2025 list (that he wrote in 2014) come true.
