Java and Javascript are completely different languages that have nothing whatsoever to do with each other besides some vaguely similar syntax.
Netscape decided to brand their new scripting language "Javascript" because Java was the hot new language at the time and they wanted to sound hip, but it was and is just branding.
I'm glad Safari is working well for you, but I don't think the Java update has anything to do with it!
Java script is brown type in Dreamweaver, I try not to touch the brown type.
and we can't upgrade javascript, so I guess Java Oracle was the one upgraded.
and yes i noticed a difference and am happy too!
thanks tho.....
I did an interesting project with my late 2009 unibody polycarbonate MacBook (which I bought in 2017 to use at my college campus or anywhere else "on the go")...
I replaced the 256 GB SSD I originally used in it (and transplanted it into my 2006 15" Core Duo MacBook Pro) with a 512 GB SSD, installed Mac OS 10.13 High Sierra, and then performed a Boot Camp installation so I could natively run Windows 7 on this machine, as a fun throwback!
Similar to Vista, Windows 7 came in a few different flavors, but Business and Enterprise were re-merged back into "Professional" (ala Windows XP). Also, Starter and Home Basic were generally not sold to the public, but came pre-installed on certain Windows 7 machines (especially since new netbooks at the time could even run such a Windows 7 version after having to use XP for a while!), leaving consumers to purchase either Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate. It was a noticeable step up from the Vista days (as a 2007 "Get a Mac" commercial once parodied). Since I was mostly going to just use this system at home, I picked Home Premium.
After completing the Windows 7 and then the Boot Camp Support installations, Windows Update wasn't working. So I looked things up on Google and found an update patch to manually download and install, and that fixed things.
So what if this unibody polycarbonate MacBook doesn't have a FireWire port? On Windows, that's not much of a problem, as I still have a Pinnacle 710-USB MovieBox device where, in addition to analog video in and out, you could even perform a FireWire-to-USB 2.0 conversion with a DV or HDV camcorder and import footage into any software that supports DV capture, complete with Device Control! (This only works on camcorders and on Windows.) Here I am using Windows Movie Maker 6 originally meant for Vista. (Windows Movie Maker 2.0-2.5 could also support analog capture from the MovieBox as well.) Unfortunately, Pinnacle Systems discontinued those MovieBox capture devices after Corel bought the company from Avid ten years ago.
And yeah, I already ordered a replacement bottom panel for the MacBook Air, due to the rubber peeling off.

Love the soundsticks!Got my Mini. Immediately updated it to Monterey with OCLP. I can't believe how much faster this one is compared to the Core 2 Duo machines I'm used to. Not to mention Handoff is a really nice feature I didn't know I needed.
Excuse the mess since I haven't found a place to tuck it away in yet
Now if only Apple fixes those weird artifacts on the side of borders of most transparent things. I heard they fixed it in 12.3 so I guess I'll have to wait
Best thrift store find ever! They was included with a Powermac G4 QS + Studio Display + Keyboard for €75 when I found it last year. Sadly the subwoofer has been modified to work without external power by the previous owner, but I just took an old Creative one from the attic and they work beautifully
Another session in which I filmed myself carrying out a repair and then on my 13" MacBook Pro 2011, I used VLC to create stills from the footage which were imported to the GIMP so I could create captions for a photo story which will then exist as a visual documentation of my project. In turn, I was then able to share it with those around me who always enjoy seeing what I'm working on. Kudos to those who are able to identify the machine that's being repaired.

Is 2011 considered "early Intel" now, or is the honor still reserved for Core 2 Duo 2009 and before? I recently installed Ubuntu Budgie on a 2011 27" iMac that can't use anything past High Sierra due to the GPU limitation. It runs fine, no complaints.
Linux is the best way to extend the life of these older Intel Macs. I hope the same will be possible for M1 many years in the future.

My answer would be yes. So feel free to post your adventures
Sandy Bridge is loved and welcomed here.
Today I decided to install Big Sur on my 2010 MacBook. Originally I was sceptical about how well it would run, especially because it only has 4GB of RAM and a Non-Metal graphics chip (320M) but I was swapping the SSDs between my 17" MBP and this so I decided to try it out.
Process of swapping drives:
(Taking the newer SSD out of my 17")
(Adding the new SSD into the MacBook)
Performance:
Not as bad as I'd expected; it is nearly the same as Catalina, maybe half a second slower to open an app and that's it.
I have Beta Blur enabled in OCLP, still provides good performance so I'm happy with how is it now. When I've got lots of tabs open, RAM usage touches 3.5GB however memory pressure is in the green with no swap usage.

Today I bought a 2010 11" MacBook Air from a seller – something I've really wanted, as it's the only 11-inch Air that can run PowerPC apps (by virtue of Snow Leopard's Rosetta). Only problem was, there was a confusion in the order, and the seller sent me a 2011 Air instead...
I followed all the guides here out of desperation, and did indeed get a stable 10.6.8 Snow Leopard install running on the 2011 Air. However, without an easy ability to control the volume and backlight, since the function keys are all disabled, it was a pretty poor experience. I also had problems with sleep mode, and couldn't get full-screen applications to display properly.
I'm planning to do a swap with the seller and get the 2010 I actually want. I don't think Snow Leopard is really worth it on the 2011, even if you get an i5.

That’s a disappointment to learn, as I had placed the 2011 11-inch i7 on my list of Macs to eventually get precisely because I wanted to run 10.6.8 on a MBA which also had Thunderbolt capability and backlit keyboard.
I’m not confident (forgot to check, sorry…) 10.6.8 supports the 2011 MBA’s cut-down “Eagle Ridge” controller (
8086:151a) — all other 2011 Macs use the supported full-featured “Light Ridge” (8086:1510).

Using my MacPro to fly from Honolulu to San Francisco. Well. Not actually. But YT has a full flight!
Was looking for some white noise, engines, cabin sounds…and a babbling baby.

10.6.8’s
AppleThunderboltNHI.kext doesn’t contain the device ID for Eagle Ridge (8086:151a) — but maybe someone can try adding it and see what happens on a 2011 MBA…

There's an entire album wrapped around that - and it's easily the creepiest thing I've ever stumbled upon!
Well, I was expecting when looking to get a 'crying' baby, because the sounds were taken from actual flights. I did get that. But the one I screencapped had a babbling baby.
Before 2003 I'd have agreed…creepy.
But after two kids…well, not so weird.

AMD did the same with the Radeon RX 6400. Meh.

Used Photoshop to finally fix a a small part of a cutout where I cut in too close.
Image shown is the repaired area.
