    Other Finder peculiarities with resource-fork icons (ICNS) rendering in Leopard, when ICNS are created/pasted in at least High Sierra

    The title I’m starting here isn’t very helpful and is also kind of vague, so I’ll try to describe here what the title can’t, along with a bit of background. Some background on why I’m posting: For many years, I’ve maintained an archival library of music on which I’ve been curating since about...

    Other Steam API Emulator

    You can buy lots of video games on Steam. Many of them support old versions of OS X! In fact, many of them only support old versions of OS X, because Apple removed 32-bit support in macOS 10.15 Catalina. Too bad Steam only supports macOS 10.15 and above! And most Steam games need Steam to run...

    What's the last year of MacBook Pros with native XP drivers, or at least enough to be usable?

    I have an Early 2011 13" MBP. Last of the Snow Leopard era, and technically last that can run a BootCamp version capable of running XP. What I'm wondering is if the cutoff is the 2009s, 2010s, or 2011s.
