Stupid Apple! High Sierra Disk Utility does not recognize unformatted drives!

[hal]

That's just dandy! Apple REALLY doesn't want you messing with original configurations. I thought I was missing something stupid, but I looked it up - others are seeing this too. ARGH!

You could always use diskutil in the terminal.

So, you are saying that Apple's software design skills are becoming terminal? :fly:

Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black.

More and more . . . . just like M$ USED to be.


Apple you are falling rapidly. Resting, no, falling on your laurels. So friggin' stupid.

This is a joke. It must be a joke. It cannot be for real.

Seriously???

I posted this 2 1/2 years ago but it still applies, probably even more.

Here's my take on the cause...

There's sort of a hiring arms race going on in Silicon Valley between companies like Google, FaceBook, Apple, etc. They're hiring pretty much every computer science graduate that's available. So now they have a huge supply of developers who have never shipped a product and I believe that in many cases have never even used the many years of previous versions of the products that they are working on.

All of these junior engineers really wants to ship something, so they're adding new features that are solutions in search of a problem, and removing stuff that's been around for years since they've never used it and have a "better way".

In the mean time, the more senior developers have been getting paid well over the years and their stock is worth a lot, so they eventually move on and retire or start their own company, so there are no longer any filters to say "that's a really stupid idea".

It will only get worse...

Just wow.

I listen to ‘MacBreak Weekly’, and they now use non-Apple hardware.

The Mac is dying a painful death.

Where does one buy a "raw" drive anyway?

This is a known issue. How to get around it:
