    reconnecting old browsers/lightweight browsing

    Not coming here often, though I just felt like sharing some of my experience about the new further deprecation of TLS 1.1 and below that many significant websites adopted. Given how much attention has been paid to OS X for PowerMacs since 2010, it doesn't make that much of a difference on...

    With APFS, will old HFS+ external drives need to be replaced?

    I'm thrilled at the idea of Apple's new file system. More stability? Faster? Better error protection? Yes please.
