0:00.0	Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Thursday, February 19th, 2026. I'm your host, Chan Smiller. We are sponsored this week by Stuff, the clean and powerful to-do list application.
0:14.8	Leading off today, last June at WWDC-25, Apple announced that Rosetta 2, the software that translate Intel apps for Apple Silicon,
0:24.1	would be discontinued starting after MacOS 27. In this week's beta of MacOS 26.4, Apple has started
0:32.0	warning Mac users about this upcoming change. To back up a little bit here, when Apple announced the transition to Apple Silicon in 2020,
0:41.0	it launched this Rosetta 2 platform.
0:43.6	It's essentially a translation layer that allows Apple Silicon-based Macs to run apps that were created for Intel Max.
0:52.5	It was intended, however, to be a temporary solution to give
0:56.1	developers time to update those Intel apps to Apple Silicon apps. Then at WWDC-25, Apple announced
1:03.1	that Rosetta 2 would be fully supported through MacOS 27, but starting with MacOS 28, it would be
1:09.6	mostly discontinued. Once you update to MacOS 26, it would be mostly discontinued.
1:11.5	Once you update to macOS 26.4, which is currently available in beta testing for developers and public beta users,
1:18.9	you'll now see a pop-up notification on your Mac when launching an app that still requires Rosetta 2.
1:26.0	The pop-up says that this version of the app will not open in a
1:29.5	future release of MacOS. It then invites the user to learn more about how to update to an Apple
1:35.3	Silicon version. MacOS 28 will likely be released in the fall of 2027, so users still have
1:42.7	plenty of time to make sure their apps are updated to native
1:45.7	Apple Silicon versions. This pop-up is meant to give users that early heads up about the change
1:51.6	so that they can either seek out updated versions of the app and a reminder for developers
1:56.7	who haven't yet updated their apps to be native on Apple Silicon. So again, if you see this pop-up in macOS 26.4, there's no urgency just yet.
2:06.7	It's just a reminder to take your time to go through your apps and find ones that still need
2:12.1	Apple Silicon versions.
2:14.2	Next up the day, we have more changes in iOS 26.4.
