When people talk about Apple Campus, they usually mean the facilities in the Infinite Loop to Cupertino (Apple’s headquarters before the big move) or Apple Park. However, Apple operates several large headquarters, for example the plant in Austin is well known, and Apple announced last year that it would invest more than a billion dollars in North Carolina. Five years are estimated for the construction work, the move-in will not take place before 2026.
Now there are more reports on Apple’s expansion plans. The next campus is being built in San Diego, Apple is spending around half a billion dollars on it.

That Rancho Vista Corporate Center In the future, however, Apple engineers from the areas of hardware and software will offer offices. Apple forecasts to house about 5,000 employees.

Ventura and Internet via modem? No more help
If you wanted to go online with the first iMac in 1998, it was comparatively easy. The fully integrated Mac housed not only the display and computer in its housing, but also a modem. Although it has long since become quite unusual to access the Internet via “dial-up modem”, macOS still supports it. However, macOS 13 Ventura is slowly bringing this era to an end, as can be seen from the fourth beta version that has just been distributed.
Apple deleted all references to setting up USB modems, there is neither an assistant nor the previously maintained help documents. Technically, the system is still able to connect to the Internet via modem, but Apple no longer provides assistance from now on. As it is said jokingly in one forum: Maybe it would be better to hurry up and use up all the AOL CDs!
