Say YES to Windows 11 on any device.” Below are project badges showing GPL-3.0 licensing, over 458,000 downloads, version 1.3, and code statistics. A section titled “Windows USB Disk Creator for macOS” explains that the tool creates bootable Windows USB installers supporting both UEFI and Legacy BIOS, allowing Windows installation on PCs, Intel Macs, and certain virtual machines.

                                          Just read that #MacOS #Tahoe is the last one that will support Intel-based #macs, and it only supports some 2019-2020 models.

                                          So that means that #Apple is targeting six or maybe seven years of hardware support.

                                          That's an e-waste empire, guys.

                                            LibreOffice + Joplin is how I have replaced Microsoft Office 365. Not only is the combination Open Source, it's also free of AI (CoPilot) and it works across all three platforms that I use (Linux, macOS and Windows).

                                              Quick Mac tip. The Globe key opens the Emoji and Symbols picker, the Character Palette, for inserting emoji and special characters. By default it pops up every time you hit it.

                                              Don't want it? System Settings, Keyboard, "Press Globe key to," set to Do Nothing.

                                              Honest question, if you have a Mac, do you use the character palette or turn it off like me?

                                                Question for you Apple nerds: Once Golden Gate comes out, there will still be security updates for Sequoia, right? My work MacBook Pro is controlled by corporate policies, but so far I have been able to avoid Liquid Glass because Sequoia is still a first-class citizen. After the new OS release, this will still be the case, right?
