macOS Server has been killed off at last
After 23 long years, Apple has finally ended support for its macOS Server operating system.
The Unix-like server operating system was built to manage fleets of Mac computers running in businesses, schools, and other types of organizations.
Apple had been slowly cutting off support for macOS Server for years, particularly since 2018 when the company announced macOS Services would be losing features such as its Wiki, DHCP, and DNS, as well as its calendar and contact support.Â
What does this mean for macOS Server users?
Some features from macOS Server will live on, and features such as Caching Server, File Sharing Server, and Time Machine Server are now bundled with every installation of macOS High Sierra and later.
One of the most popular features of macOS Server was Profile Manager, Apple's mobile device management (MDM) service. To help customers migrate away, Apple has posted a guide to finding alternative MDM solutions available from a variety of third party suppliers, including Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP directory services.

macOS Server was officially discontinued on April 21, and the last version of the operating system will be macOS Server 5.12.2.
The update comes after Apple introduced its Universal Control feature to Mac and iPad, allowing different Apple devices to integrate better together.
Available on the beta versions of iPadOS 15.4 and macOS 12.3, the feature allows users to control a mouse on both a Mac and iPad at the same time, without having to send files or use a cloud service to do this.

Battlefield 2042 early access on PC just got more enticing for Nvidia RTX owners
Read MoreBattlefield 2042 – which is about to hit early access – is getting DLSS and a major performance uplift, plus Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy, which is out today, is also benefiting from the frame rate boosting tech.
Battlefield 2042 offers DLSS from tomorrow with early access, and Nvidia notes that gamers with supporting GeForce RTX graphics cards can expect up to double the performance at 4K resolution.
Battlefield 2042 also benefits from ray-traced ambient occlusion for better visuals, and Nvidia Reflex to minimize input lag, with Nvidia claiming that system latency is reduced by up to 28% in the shooter thanks to this feature.
According to Nvidia’s own benchmarking, the remastered Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy will ramp up frames rates with an up to 85% performance increase, meaning that in that best-case scenario, the smoothness of gameplay will be close to doubled.
On top of that, the sequel to Bright Memory, which is also out today, arrives with DLSS. This delivers a performance boost of up to 2.5x with Bright Memory: Infinite, no less. The game also has ray tracing (shadows, reflections, global illumination) and Nvidia Reflex support means this shooter boasts a rather staggering (claimed) up to 49% reduction in system latency.
Analysis: DLSS is going from strength to strength
Nvidia also reminded us that another pair of games were released earlier this week with DLSS support, namely Hot Wheels Unleashed and Jurassic World Evolution 2. With the above three on top, that means five new DLSS games this week, a hefty addition to the library of supporting titles. An increasing amount of games are getting DLSS functionality, with the total number surpassing 100 in October.
It’s great to see growth for Nvidia Reflex, too, which is a huge boon on the competitive gaming front, so will go down very well in Battlefield 2042. And that level of latency reduction – with it being cut in half, effectively, in the best-case scenario – in Bright Memory: Infinite is seriously impressive, to boot.
