Thanks. I've not used Macs in past 10+yrs other than to briefly help those who are tech illiterate set up wifi, presentations, etc. lol those moments are a trip to foreign land./System

Yeah, what an asshole packaging the browser as an integrated component of the OS. Next thing you know, they'll make it illegal to make any browser applications that don't use the underlying OEM supplied browser technology, and use that to apply leverage on outside companies and ultimately drive those outside products out of the market.Similarly Bill Gates, as head of Microsoft, also vehemently used every dirty trick in the book to eliminate any competition in the OS and internet browser markets. Remember Netscape?
And guess what everything works. I rarely have an issue with a mac, and if I do, it's a simple reboot (after months of continuous run time). Micro$haft can't say that, never could never will. I have a W10 box for gaming and that's all I use it for. I literally despise using it from power up until I'm actually in-game...Yeah, what an asshole packaging the browser as an integrated component of the OS.

Oh, wait, sorry. That's Apple. Apple did that.

.... and then I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns when it inevitably crashes in the middle of doing anything.
Eff Micro$haft. They can suck a fart out of my chocolate doorbell.
What does this mean? Genuinely curious about this.Not being able to use some software because a new operating system is required. Bull......
I think it relates to this type of phenomenon on Macs :What does this mean? Genuinely curious about this.
That is news for me, and I was an ex fruit company employee for many years. You always had and still have multiple browsers available for MacOSX and there was no requirement to use WebKit. The actual worry is Chromium that has taken a huge part of the market, it has nothing to do with Google monopoly, rather that a huge platform suddenly is in the radar for nasty individuals in the business of stealing money and spying.Yeah, what an asshole packaging the browser as an integrated component of the OS.

But that's the opposite of what he said: that's not being able to use old software because you updated the operating system.I think it relates to this type of phenomenon on Macs :
https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/will-ax8-edit-for-mac-updated-to-64bit-on-os-x.150109/
My guess is that the AX-8 UI tool uses either old 32-bit libraries that they need to switch over to 64-bit variants, or then those are missing and they need to replace them. Also some coding in case it's a Cocoa app, to fix all kinds of 32-bit value assumptions. Xcode helps with that conversion, btw.But that's the opposite of what he said: that's not being able to use old software because you updated the operating system.
"I don't understand how to do X, Y or Z" does not equate to "I have problems with my Mac", despite what text actually ended up in the post.And yet this forum seems to spawn an infinitely greater amount of 'I have problems with my Mac' threads then with Windows.
Seriously! It surprises even myself.
1. No consistency between windows. There's no standard resources.
2. Almost nonexistent borders on windows. With a trackpad it's almost impossible to resize a window.
#include "stdio.h"
#include "windows.h"
int main()
{
NONCLIENTMETRICS ncMetrics;
ncMetrics.cbSize = sizeof(ncMetrics);
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS, sizeof(ncMetrics), &ncMetrics, 0);
printf("Current padded border width is %d\n", ncMetrics.iPaddedBorderWidth);
ncMetrics.iPaddedBorderWidth = 10; // The default on my dev machine was 4. Set this to taste.
printf("Setting padded border width to %d\n", ncMetrics.iPaddedBorderWidth);
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETNONCLIENTMETRICS, sizeof(ncMetrics), &ncMetrics, SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE | SPIF_SENDCHANGE);
}
3. In some programs, i.e. Office, the scroll bar disappears after a couple seconds. Who tf came up with this brilliant idea? It just disappears and leaves a white column. How is that a good idea?
4. Start menu sucks.
5. No classic theme and apparently no way to install one.
