Cheetah Puma Jaguar Panther Tiger Leopard

German Tanks, Large Cats, Apple OS's. Por que no los tres?

I don't think the Gepard was ever anything but an AA vehicle.

Appears it was Leopard 2/3 that were tanks https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard_2

Although I might have guessed the wrong word from Gepard to Leopard.?

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah you switched it up. Leopards have been tanks. The Gepards(cheetah) were AAs.

WW2 Gepard

Modern Gepard

Apple‘s operating systems stopped being good when they were no longer named after cats.

What was that 10.8? 7 was lion. 8 was named after a beach in California if I remember right

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Without looking it up my memory says:

10.1 Puma

10.1 Cheetah

10.2 Jaguar

10.3 Lion

10.4 Tiger

10.5 Leopard

10.6 Snow Leopard

Towered was also a Mountain Lion, not sure where it fits.

I think that's right, 7 lion, 8 mtn lion, 9 Catalina? (Beach name/surf spot or such) 10.7 was when they chopped support for x86

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

10.5 or 10.6 was the last version for PPC. 32-bit x68 was the architecture Apple has supported the shortest.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah 10.6. because I remembered troubleshooting dumb issues. Like installers being powerpc. Versions of Office for Mac had an issue like that when 10.7 launched and people were bringing them in because they couldn't reinstall their software if they had to do a fresh install of 10.7, but had previously upgraded from 10.6.. the software was working. (Because the software itself wasn't powerpc, just the installer)

Had they discontinued Rosetta already?

Apple is quite good with the transitions to a new CPU architecture. However they tend to cut off support for old hardware architectures a little early for my taste.

Not sure, I was a licensed apple tech back in 2011-2013 time period. Never bought their products for myself so I haven't really played with to much of their newer stuff. Haven't needed certs for them anywhere else.

Also yeah all but the jaguar were german armoured vehicles (the jaguar is french)

Hmm you might be the tankie they were looking for.... Haha. Thanks for the info!

[–] Ummdustry@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The Mark IV, everything else doctrinally impure.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The new Sony tanks are lightweight and easily transferrable

[–] Ummdustry@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dudes got a soccer ball and a tank, what else could he ask for. You know that guys going to get along well with a cat later in his twenties. Broken heart, cat strolls by and they spend the next year making cardboard forts and watching romcoms.

Actually that sounds kind of nice

And recyclable!

What about the mighty TOG II though?

[–] Exusia@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Im more of a....Renault FT17 type purist. Everything after it is derivative and lame. They saw one turreted piece of perfection and decided "you know what could improve such perfect roundels? Edges. Now we have abominations covered in...romboids and silly bricks.

[–] wetsoggybread@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Water tank, gas tank, petrol tank, septic tank, aquarium tank, uhh tank top?

I thought this was meanwhileongrad when I read the first line, then I read the second and realized it was NCD. Well played, OP, well played.

T-34, T-54, T-62, T-72, T-80, all other generic imperialist garbage
