  • Why Apple's Macs can now ditch Intel x86 and shift to ARM

    Why so obsessed with turning Macs into facebook machines? I do prof software engineering work on mac and I need the x86 compatibility. Also I game on steam and not bubble popping iphone games.If apple doesn't like Intel, what about AMD or get an x86 license like Zhaoxin/VIA? Arm is for handhelds.

  • Mac gamers can now play 'Baldur's Gate 3' a day later than expected

    I bought the game day one of it being released on Steam. I own PCs and Macs and I was so happy I could play a game series I enjoyed since being a child in all my computers and especially some older macs that I keep for use only on my summer and winter houses... Fast forward the game was advertised to be supporting both PC and Mac, NOWHERE was it mentioning that the Mac port would be release at some unknown time in the future... Result? I had to find from forums that Macs where not supported until later AND of course make arrangements so that I can play the game on PC. Now the game has finally being released (with even greater delay than was communicated) but 1] I have finished the game already in PC and have no further interest, 2] It either doesn't run or runs horribly any of my Macs , ok for my old mac mini, not ok to be horrible in the 17.1 M390 AMD discrete gpu 27 Imac (It runs okish in the supposedly worse nvidia 960M junk laptop PC i keep as backup plan) and NOT OK that it sucks in the just two+ year old M1 air 1400 euro... More absurd it that my son's Lenovo's something/whatever legion 799 euro older than my M1 air performs really fine.... Whom on a Mac this game targets???

    It is still beyond me that Apple, the biggest company in the world, trillion dollar valuation cannot spend some billions to have video games like starfield, cyberpunk released on Mac AND ffs it lets situations like BG3 with delays and performance issues slip to their customers...
