Guess what? Updated to #MacOS #Tahoe this morning and now my RME Fireface 800 can go to the trash, because #Apple silently dropped #Firewire support 😒 . That really is planned obsolescence at its best, and I would have expected at least a warning before the upgrade, or a long term support option for latest XCode/iOS SDKs on legacy OS versions.

🔥🎩 "FireWire on Pi: The Epic Saga" 🎩🔥— A tale of clinging to obsolete tech like a toddler to a security blanket, when all modern solutions have moved on. Why wrestle with a Raspberry Pi to revive a relic when even Linux is on its way to ditching that old friend by 2029? 🤔🚀

Using FireWire on a Raspberry Pi

After learning Apple killed off FireWire (IEEE 1394) support in macOS 26 Tahoe, I started looking at alternatives for old FireWire equipment like hard drives, DV cameras, and A/V gear. I own an old Canon GL1 camera, with a 'DV' port. I could plug that into an old Mac (like the dual G4 MDD above) with FireWire—or even a modern Mac running macOS < 26, with some dongles—and transfer digital video footage between the camera and an application like Final Cut Pro.

AppleのDriverKitを利用し、macOS 26 Tahoeで非サポートとなったFireWireデバイスを最新のMacでも使えるようにするオープンソースプロジェクト「ASFireWire」が公開。

Appleが2019年にリリースしたmacOS 10.15 Catalinaから導入を進めてきたデバイスドライバ用フレームワーク「DriverKit」を利用し、macOS 26 Tahoeを搭載した最新のMacでもFireWireデバイスを動作させるオープンソースプロジェクト「ASFireWire」が公開されています。

#Help #Fedipower!!!

Is there actually anything that doesn't work on #Mint/#LMDE6-32 that already worked on #WinXP?

I want to rip #sVHS tapes using a #Canopus connected to the #Firewire/IEEE1394 port.

But neither #Shotcut nor #Kdenlive offers this feature. 😭

#anyideas???

#Hilfe #Fedipower!!!

Sollte tatsächlich irgendwas unter Mint/#LMDE6-32 nicht gehen, was bereits unter #WinXP ging?

Ich möchte #sVHS-Cassetten mittels eines #Canopus am #Firewire/IEEE1394-Port auslesen.

Doch weder #Shotcut noch #Kdenlive bieten dieses feature. 😭

#werweisswas???

Un pilote open source en développement ramène le FireWire dans macOS Tahoe

Avec macOS Tahoe, sorti fin 2025, Apple a abandonné une technologie qui a fait sa renommée et qui a même eu un Emmy Awards : le FireWire. La norme IEEE 1394 (i.Link chez Sony) a en effet fait les beaux jours des iMac et autres PowerBook des années ...

Okay #hardware #nerd types and #DataHoarders or #DigitalArchivists...

I'm using #Ubuntu #Linux on an old #iMac with #dvgrab to download the exact copies of all my #MiniDV tapes in #DV format.

But I have to say... This thing is a monster.

Can anyone recommend a laptop with #Firewire 800 that also runs Linux well?
