I became a Software Developer basically because of MacOS-X and Objective-C. I just love the syntax, yes it can become a mess sometimes with all the nested brackets but it is pretty unique. Apple has been known for shaving layers of products and technologies (PowerPC WebObjects Carbon ...) so I wouldn't be surprised but I will be really disappointed. With Carbon Apple initially announced MacOS X and Cocoa and never mentioned anything about getting rid of it but they eventually did. Regarding Swift it has nice things but the syntax is kind of boring tbh. I always wondered why Apple went with a new syntax instead of modernize Objective-C get rid of some redundancy and add new things like lambdas and so on. My hypothesis is that the original generation of Apple/Next developers were displaced by the new people coming from the Windows and GNU world that got in after the success of the iPhone.

Same issue, I know this is not a support forum but I also have a 10TB external drive and a MacBook Pro M1 and I had two disk mounted, erased one folder on the second hard drive and for some reason a specific folder on my 10TB drive with the same name ended up being inaccessible. After giving it some hours to recover the folder remained grayed out so I decided to eject the drive and tried to mount it again but it did not work. Ran a repair using disk utility and no luck. I have tried two recovery software and they all have the same issue. They don't ask for decryption password and some files are ok but most of them are "gibberish". Using OpenSSL I might be able to decrypt them but I'm still researching.
