Tell HN: macOS Time Machine will no longer support Time Capsules

Honestly, this is probably just to push icloud backup. Why sell one time capsule, when you can sell a service that never stops being charged for?

Floppies were terrible, but time capsules aren't that.

IRL a $Trillion dollar company can certainly have resources make the minuscule updates to keep support.

Time Machine does not support backing up to iCloud though. Maybe it's coming.

Makes sense to warn people now and then sell a solution to the problem they made

You would think, but look at this whole Liquid Glass thing - they can't get something simple like contrast right. On the other hand, they arguably put out the best consumer chips in the industry.

Seems dysfunctional, like every other large corp.
