I don't have any mac's, I don't want to test my fire insurance. I am the long since retired CE at a tv station, a chair I held for 18+ years at the end of the last century. They bought a couple mac G5's with some gfx production software several years after I retired, paid about 30 grand for all of it and both of them went up in flames that needed a fire extinguisher to put out within 6 months, post mortem found a frozen fan in each one. Std, BBLB, bronze bushing $0.95 fans. Needless to say, mac told us to call somebody that cares, and mac's were removed from our approved purchase list. The station built a new control room complex for the digital conversion and now broadcasts 8 channels thru 2 transmitters using 2 linux driven (centos) video file servers built in house. Records 4 channels from a satellite, and plays 4 channels to air each. The owner died about 4 years back, his daughter sold it to Grey for an obscene amount, and the first thing they wanted was for linux to disappear, they were a windows operation. 3+ years later, those servers are still there and still working, and have never aired a BSOD, so the cash cow never goes dry, something the windows machines used by the weather channel did several times daily. MBA's do seem to understand reliability, so I've not heard of any make linux disappear memos recently. But they have also lost their linux guy to the fbi at about a 3x raise a year back. I think there's a potentially costly lesson someplace in that. ;-) He built those servers from scratch. ........ FreeCAD_0.19-23578-Linux-Conda_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage, here on stretch with 32gigs of dram, goes into a cancelable busy loop loading it, and I let it chew on it for several minutes. No debug output to the terminal so I've no clue what its upchucking over. > Dr. Andreas O.
