U-Vratislav Holub I-Apple yamemezela eminyakeni edlule ukuthi izoqeda maduze ukusekelwa kwezinhlelo zokusebenza ezingama-32-bit ngaphakathi kwe-macOS. Ngakho-ke, isiqhwaga se-Cupertino sesivele simemezele ngo-2018 ukuthi inguqulo ye-macOS Mojave izoba inguqulo yokugcina yesistimu yokusebenza ye-apula esakwazi ukuphatha izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-32-bit. Futhi yilokho kanye okwenzeka. I-macOS Catalina elandelayo ngeke isakwazi ukuzisebenzisa. Kulokhu, umsebenzisi uzobona umlayezo othi uhlelo lokusebenza aluhambelani futhi unjiniyela walo kufanele alubuyekeze.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Lesi sinyathelo asizange sithinte abasebenzisi abaningi ngokujabulisayo. Akumangazi ngempela, ngoba kwaletha izinkinga eziningi. Abanye abasebenzisi be-Apple balahlekelwe isofthiwe yabo nomtapo wolwazi wegeyimu. Ukuguqula uhlelo lokusebenza/igeyimu ukusuka ku-32-bit ukuya ku-64-bit kungase kungakhokheli ngokwezimali konjiniyela, yingakho silahlekelwe ngokuphelele inani lamathuluzi amahle nezihloko zegeyimu. Phakathi kwazo kugqame, ngokwesibonelo, imidlalo edumile evela kuValve efana neTeam Fortress 2, Portal 2, Left 4 Dead 2 neminye. Pho kungani i-Apple inqume ukusika ngokuphelele izinhlelo zokusebenza ezingama-32-bit, lapho idale izinkinga eziningi kubasebenzisi bayo ekuqaleni?
Ukuqhubekela phambili nokulungiselela ushintsho olukhulu
I-Apple ngokwayo iphikisana nezinzuzo ezicacile zezinhlelo zokusebenza ze-64-bit. Njengoba bekwazi ukufinyelela inkumbulo eyengeziwe, basebenzise ukusebenza kwesistimu okwengeziwe kanye nobuchwepheshe bamuva, ngokwemvelo basebenza kahle kakhudlwana futhi bangcono kuma-Mac ngokwawo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, sebeneminyaka eminingi besebenzisa ama-64-bit processors, ngakho-ke kunengqondo ukuthi izinhlelo zokusebenza ezilungiselelwe kahle zisebenza kuzo. Singabona ukufana kulokhu ngisho namanje. Kuma-Mac ane-Apple Silicon, izinhlelo zingasebenza ngokwendabuko noma ngesendlalelo se-Rosetta 2 Yebo, uma sifuna okungcono kakhulu, kufanelekile ukusebenzisa isofthiwe elungiselelwe ngokugcwele eyakhelwe inkundla enikeziwe. Nakuba kungeyona into eyodwa futhi efanayo, singabona ukufana okuthile lapha.
Izinguquko ku-macOS Catalina
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, imibono ethakazelisayo ethethelela lesi sinyathelo yavela eminyakeni edlule. Ngisho nangaleso sikhathi, kwaqala ukuqagela mayelana nokuthi i-Apple yayilungiselela ukufika kwamaphrosesa ayo futhi ngenxa yalokho ukusuka ku-Intel, lapho kwakuyoba nengqondo ukuthi isiqhwaga sihlanganise wonke amapulatifomu aso. Lokhu kuphinde kwaqinisekiswa ngokungaqondile ngokufika kwe-Apple Silicon. Njengoba zombili uchungechunge lwama-chips (i-Apple Silicon ne-A-Series) zisebenzisa izakhiwo ezifanayo, kungenzeka ukusebenzisa ezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-iOS kuma-Mac, ahlala engama-64-bit (kusukela ku-iOS 11 kusuka ku-2017). Ukufika kusenesikhathi kwama-chips e-Apple nakho kungabamba iqhaza kulolu shintsho.
Kodwa impendulo emfushane ayinakungabaza. I-Apple yasuka ezinhlelweni zokusebenza ezingama-32-bit (kuzo zombili i-iOS ne-macOS) ngesizathu esilula sokuhlinzeka ngokusebenza okungcono kuzo zombili izinkundla nempilo ende yebhethri.
IWindows iyaqhubeka nokusekela izinhlelo zokusebenza ezingama-32-bit
Yebo, kunomunye umbuzo ekugcineni. Uma izinhlelo zokusebenza ezingama-32-bit ziyinkinga kakhulu ngokusho kwe-Apple, kungani imbangi yeWindows, okuyisistimu yokusebenza yedeskithophu esetshenziswa kakhulu emhlabeni, isazisekela? Incazelo ilula kakhulu. Njengoba iWindows isakazeke kakhulu futhi nezinkampani eziningi ezivela emkhakheni webhizinisi zithembele kuyo, akukho emandleni eMicrosoft ukuphoqa izinguquko ezinamandla kangako. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, lapha sine-Apple. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, unayo kokubili isofthiwe ne-hardware ngaphansi kwesithupha sakhe, ngenxa yokuthi angakwazi ukubeka imithetho yakhe ngaphandle kokucabangela cishe noma ubani.

Amadivayisi amaningi embonini asadinga ukusekelwa kwe-16-bit... ama-OS angasekelwe kufanele asetshenziswe lapho, ngeshwa. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, akunandaba, ngoba lawo madivaysi awekho kunethiwekhi, noma bakunethiwekhi "eyabo" ehlukile.
