Well, now they just make you throw out the old Mac hardware and buy new for $1299 (8gb RAM lol) because it's now out of support for the latest MacOS and the newest versions of Adobe Suite/MS Office/insert productivity work related proprietary software suite here is on board with Apple's bullshit and won't run on older MacOS versions.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Yeah, totally.

Just imagine trying to do this with Windows Powershell, without a package manager like chocolatey to make it simple like linux...

$workdir = "c:\installer\"

If (Test-Path -Path $workdir -PathType Container)

{ Write-Host "$workdir already exists" -ForegroundColor Red}

ELSE

{ New-Item -Path $workdir  -ItemType directory }

$source = "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=win64&lang=en-US"

$destination = "$workdir\firefox.exe"

if (Get-Command 'Invoke-Webrequest')

{

     Invoke-WebRequest $source -OutFile $destination

}

else

{

    $WebClient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient

    $webclient.DownloadFile($source, $destination)

}

Start-Process -FilePath "$workdir\firefox.exe" -ArgumentList "/S"

Start-Sleep -s 35

rm -Force $workdir/firefox*

What if I told you you can make a backup of a config file and edit a single line in a conf file, all with a single line of bash?

sudo cp config.conf config.conf.bak.$(date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S") && sed -i 's/^\(CONFIG_NAME\s*=\s*\).*/\1new_value/' config.conf

If Red Hat wasn't owned by IBM, I'd maybe give a flying fuck about being amused.

NT was written from scratch

You mean OS/2 3.0?

When development started in November 1989, Windows NT was to be known as OS/2 3.0, the third version of the operating system developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM.

It was a tongue in cheek joke, calm yourself, this isnt reddit.

But it's also a valid, if cheeky, point that it wasnt really a fresh from scratch effort.
