![]() With the underlying OS moving so fast, those of us working on securing our computers and our phones from the borg are at a permanent disadvantage. The reason to force all these upgrades is to eliminate security and privacy. With those kinds of revenues, Apple, Microsoft, Google have plenty of money to keep multiple versions of their OS secure. It would be nice if sensible people would stop carrying water for Apple and Microsoft and other near trillion dollar companies. ![]() They are now pushing the latest and updates to the latest very hard to keep up security. I tend to get “emotional” after spending this much money in such a short time for “pro” software. I may be knocking on DxO a little here, but after waiting years for what I thought was the right time to get into the DxO ecosystem (yup, bought Elite 6 and all the addons/modules), it’s a little disheartening to know that I may have to continue using my plethora of existing tools for a while longer.Īnd professional vendors should treat posts like this to remind them to do better. Otherwise, I might as well use the Photos app that came along with macOS or Gimp – for free. As an “pro” end user, I simply expect to get what I paid for. You still have to run some of the modules through Rosetta. The M1 Mac was released on November of 2020. I am not talking about minor bugs here or there.Ī perfect example of this is with DxO’s very own Nik collections. Software publishers that wait for the actual release of a major OS update to “troubleshoot” shouldn’t be defended or get the sympathy of the end users. On the flip side of this, when people who use “pro-level or advanced” applications pay lots of money to a major or reputable software publisher (you know, pros will pay big bucks to use pro software because it has to match their pro status), they expect the major bugs to get worked out during the OS’s beta stages. Not everyone has the financial means to have multiple systems in place for their work. Most people I know use and rely on their devices more often that their photo editing software. And because you updated your device, you also need to update to the latest macOS because your devices need the latest version to work right. And you would probably have to update your watch and your iPads so they can all work together properly. For example, if you update your iPhone, it may not work properly with the last OS. People have different reasons to use the latest OS, especially when they are very tightly entrenched in a particular ecosystem. Why shouldn’t we be on the latest OS? It’s not like Apple sprung a surprise OS release on the vendors. But maybe it’s time we stop making excuses for vendors for things like this.
