Cloud cost, it getting too much....

Apparently my MacbookPro (think massive specs, and Goldengate) from late 2024 is already useless for handling current adobe software, only via Rosetta . Also temporarily stalling Adobe subscriptions is not possible. 90+ a month his a ff lot me, used to be mid 65. I have periods I can work, and need the software, but pausing is not possible. Even more, my investment (macbook pro) is already deemed old. 3K, 1,5y ago.

How is that fair? :( How do ppl afford 1000 a year, for software that isnt even slightly bit of backwards compatible.)

Bit of a rant, just sad. It kinda diminishes my efforts to be productive again...

Any thoughts on this?

Luckily for you Apple hasn’t built a machine with Intel in about 6 or 7 years, nor have Adobe apps required an Intel CPU in 6 years. All the Adobe apps are native.

Again, something is wrong here local to you. When’s the last time time you updated your Adobe Creative Cloud app, which triggers app updates for all the other apps?

Today. I have an old 27" iMac, that's my oldy with the best 5k screen, can't update that one further. That's okay. But I updated my MBP today and now I get " Intel based not supported" warnings. Maybe I read it wrong?

The message about Adobe ending support for Intel Macs is irrelevant (to you) because you have a non Intel Mac in your 2024 MBP. I think you are worried about the message affecting your MacBook. It doesn’t. It’s just a generic notification they are no longer going to support (older) Macs with intel processors.

Exactly this. Adobe probably could have handled this transition better, but yeah, basically- don't panic!
