SIP is that bulwark against malware gaining a beachhead on your system by preventing it from modifying system files and folders. By turning it off, you lose the last line of defence. Any piece of software that requires you to turn it off is messing around with system-level files and you never know if it's just custom themes or something else.
I bet no matter how much you use the keyboard it won't get shiny keys like the new MacBooks after two weeks you have nasty looking shiny keys.
For all my complaints about PC's and Intel specifically over the years the modularity of PC's has always been a strong point. And the ability to use whatever hardware you want with the OS.
The problem is that the hackintosh movement has kind of dried up and blown away with the transition to the Apple Silicon. But back in the day, that's kind of how it was. You bought off a predetermined list, but then it worked great! I could dual boot my gaming machine into Mac and Windows. It was fantastic.
Some people who have made nice contribution's to this thread have suggested I at least keep a Mac in the mix. I think that is probably where I may go. I am thinking of a mac mini with M2 once M3 is announced and sales go deep. It is cheapest way for me to be in the MacOS interface which is what I enjoy most in all honesty anyway. Just use it as a stand alone. I was also thinking of an M3 iMac but those are so pricy but so beautiful. I am going to wait some time since I have already made the transition. But I think a Mac Mini during the Christmas sales or Black Friday sales at Best Buy might just be the perfect time. If I could get a Mac Mini with 16gb ram and 256gb ssd or 512gbssd for around $600 or so that would be perfect. I also might just buy an base M3 mac mini when they come out for what $599 or so?
Completely agree! I think the quality was better in 2015 for sure.
Apple doesn't release security updates for older iOS versions to devices that support a newer major version. Only devices that are on their last supported major version receive further security updates. They want you to install the newest supported major version.
I was debating this, but then I realized I have to have the windows gaming laptop either way, for gaming and my dev work. So now that all my stuff is cross-platform (Went from DevonThink to Obsidian, etc.,), why even bother? I end up trying my iPad again then and now I am back to 55,000 devices.
Umm are you sure about that? iOS 16.7.6 just came out as a security update.

RIGHT???????????????????????? It's just sitting there and they won't do it.
Apple adopted a lot of surface pro like stuff but they kept the OS gimped. I think that was their biggest mistake with the Pro line. Who cares if it cuts Mac sales if you can sell top end iPads and all the accessories?? They would probably make more money on the Pro Ipads that had a full OS than how they do things now??
If a Samsung phone can use Dex to have fully functional windows then iPad OS could use a version of MacOS with touch enabled and some tweaks to make MacOS more touch friendly. The ironic thing is MacOS is already adopting a more iOS interface so it doesn't make sense to do that on a non touch optimized device????
