On the surface, this is a perfectly sensible thing for Apple to do: why would they ever want you to download older, buggier, and potentially less secure software when there's an updated version available? When you're on an older device, however, this means an app may not be compatible with your old version of iOS. The way Apple has the App Store configured, you are always directed towards the newest version of an application. Many people abandon these old-but-still-functioning devices not because they're upset about missing out on the new iOS features, but because it's such a pain to download apps to them. While getting stuck on older software is par for the course, it can be frustrating. With every new wave of iOS hardware, a little bit of the legacy hardware is left behind. The iPhone 4 is stuck at iOS 7.1.2, for example, and the first-gen iPad is stuck all the way back at iOS 5.1.1. Although Apple does a pretty admirable job dragging old hardware along for each iOS update, every train has a final stop. 128GB of storage cost $299, and 256GB of storage cost $399.What's the Deal With Old Versions of iOS and New Apps?Īs of the publication of this article, we're currently on iOS 9 and, in a short few months, iOS 10 will roll out to the public.

Unlike most Apple products, there was no biometric unlocking mechanism in the iPod touch so a passcode is required. The 2019 seventh-generation iPod touch had no new design features and continued to look the same as the sixth-generation model, with an aluminum shell, 4-inch display, and body that featured a Home button but no Touch ID fingerprint sensor. In May 2022, Apple announced that was discontinuing the iPod touch, saying that its capabilities are now available across Apple's product lineup. Apple in May 2019 refreshed the handheld non-cellular iPod touch for the first time in several years, introducing an improved processor that makes the device faster than before. ![]() I understand OpenFoam runs on Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, and Tumbleweed, which are Linux distributions. I read that the solution to install VM Ware + Windows on the mac would just be too slow and wondered if maybe installing Linux on VM Ware could be a viable solution until I found your page about installing OpenFoam on Docker.

My FEM engineering course at Rome University requires us to install edu versions of preprocessing software and solvers such as Ansys Workbench, Mechanical, and Simcenter Femap by Nastran. It’s not always very clear though if you have low experience in development, so you might have to watch a few videos on Youtube to understand in a bit more details how it works. The easiest way to start understanding how to use docker is to look at the start tutorials and to really read in details the « Get started Pages » (Watch the video at the beginning of the article for all the details) It doesn’t require to install a full new OS System in a virtual machine, it just takes the components of the system that are required to run the program you want to run.

Typically, if you want to hire someone to work together with you, how do you make it easy for your collaborator to install your system? Or for end users to install it on their machine? So the problem is that it may work for you, but it would be crazy hard to install all what is needed for your system to work on another system. The problem is that once you have built something really cool, it might become this huge Juggernaut of code which depends on several « custom » modules or you may even have to interact with executables written in other languages or compiled code… There are basically python modules to do whatever your mind can conceive (and more) If you start working with Automation, Python and scripting, you will quickly find that you can do a LOT of things!

Holthus grew up in rural Kansas, was raised in a faith-based home, but like most followers of Jesus who grow up Christian, Holthus had to learn what a personal relationship with Christ truly means.
