I still have one of these. I'm looking to repurpose it. I've tried installing OSX Tiger on it but it was way too damn slow to function even as a single purpose Mac i.e. an iTunes server. Anybody have any ideas?
Interestingly I once worked at a company that still paid for XP support. They wanted to publicly release the update patches.... with permission of course and use it as some kind of advertising feature for the company. But MS forbade it. There is no way the patches can be made public.Technically xp is still supported just not for the public.
Not really... people stopped caring about hacking the hardware for other things years ago. The original Apple TV OS is based on (but not quite) Tiger or Leopard.. so even the hacking tools dropped support.So, what do with my gen 1 Apple TV now? Any cool ideas?
Maybe this means we will see some new iTunes Store features/improvements over the next couple months?
If so, than not updating the original Apple TV (few text files) by Apple is just pathetic and arrogant. :-(
Adding the necessary certificates to the original tiger based Apple TV should be straightforward for someone who likes tinkering.My bet would be on the disabling of TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1
Github also disabled these recently:

O365 will follow shortly, IIRC.
Various payment processing companies have had these disabled for some time.

As the original Longhorn releases it was great but there were so many issues with security that by the time of public release it was more of a bloated mess, a skinned version of XP I believe. Win 7 however, was everything Vista should have been. My home servers still run it and have been rock solid.
Ok, if you know then why not disclose the number?You would be surprised at how many people still use the original Apple TV, so it definitely did have its audience
Wow, that was a stretch.Good thing no one builds Apple TVs into an actual TV. Hate to think you can't use your TV because it is deemed "obsolete."

As even the later generations of ATV are not big sellers I can’t imagine there be a lot that still use the original one. Mine is collecting dust.
Windows ME and the MS OFFICE trippy "Clippy" was the absolute bottom for MSFT. Came very close firing off the entire clip into Mr. Clippy. Two sufficed...it was an old laptop.Vista? Even Microsoft hopes everyone forgets that debacle.
They really could have put a lot more effort behind it than they did in the beginning. Surely Steve saw video would go the same way as audio.

That doesn’t change the fact its development was a disaster. Windows Longhorn - what later would become Vista - was supposed to be released in 2003 or 2004 at the latest. Major problems resulted in project and code resets and a release date in late 2006. 2007 for mainstream users. In the meantime Windows XP’s lifespan had to be extended far beyond what Microsoft intended for the OS.I enjoyed and had no issues with Vista in the years that I used it.
If you were working at a financial company and you had financial numbers, would you disclose those too?
Remember that the earlier ATVs were at a much lower price point than the recent ones. There are still many people holding onto their older Blu-ray players that have app stores. Not an enormous amount, but enough of a chunk where a company wouldn't want to risk losing its audience.
