FWIW, I found the best performance using Azul's Java 17 ARM64 JDK with ManyMC. It's truly amazing - peak is about 100x faster in everything - imagine selecting a Minecraft world and being able to start playing in less than 4 seconds! . Minecraft an…

Your mileage obviously may vary. I have a 16" Macbook Pro with the 10 CPUs and 32 GPU cores. Running straight x86 Java Minecraft through Rosetta is honestly barely playable - sometimes you can get 20 fps, but you get frequent slowdowns. It's a lo…

Buy a 16" Macbook Pro with an 8TB hard drive. Tear the screen off with your bare hands. Done.

I know this is a basic question, but I haven't seen it answered anywhere: Can the US president force a US based company to ban an App in a foreign country? Or can companies do what they feel like outside the US? I realize a President could always …

And think how much better bootcamp will work for Windows 10 on ARM than running in an ARM emulator on an x86 chip.

For me, all the pain already happened with the move to Catalina. I already lost all the software that isn't already being actively developed, which for me was most of it. (And this wasn't old software either - dang that 2006 decision to have one M…

knowitall said: It will be the best move of Apple, ever. It is also important to do it as fast as possible, late 2020 is already a bit late. Maybe no one sees this coming but competition from opensource hardware and software designs will be …

It'll be very interesting to see the speed of conversion: Back in 2006, Apple announced the first Intel based Mac, and within 12 months had switched all of their products to Intel. But at least they provided Rosetta so you could still run PowerPC …

The worst part of Apple's focus on Metal is it means the Mac loses a lot of cross platform games because it doesn't support a cross platform graphics API and they can't afford to write an entirely different engine just for the Mac. Maybe someone ca…

> Although, it seems to me that the main advantage of FaceID is that it enables a no-bezel screen that uses the whole front of the phone - rather than how the phone is unlocked. You mean you didn't notice the notch? There again - coolness over …

I feel like this is the perfect phone for anyone that doesn't feel they need an iPhone that looks like the newest and coolest. TouchID works better than FaceID in most situations, a home button is easier than swiping up constantly. 256 megabytes i…

Guys, I don't have an AppleTV yet, but I was wondering: Can you set them to use your own photos for rotating wallpaper like you can on the Mac?

I still remember a cover of BYTE Magazine showing the new Intel 286, which had 16-bit capabilities, and asking on the cover "Do we need this much power?" But ignoring the software bloat issue, which gets fixed everytime a new software platform star…

So just to summarize, if you're asking "why would we need faster A chips", the answer is obvious: iOS 14.
-
You forget that software bloat is always faster than Moore's Law for hardware. My iPhone 6S has an A9 dual core Twister, 64-bits, 1.85 GHz. And it can barely run iOS 13 at all, doing the same tasks it used to do just fine on iOS10. (I had to ditc…

Guys, I don't think these links have changed at all. When I download them fresh, MacOS still says something like "this install file is broken", which I assume is because it thinks the certificate has expired. Guess I'll just have to do the date tr…

I just still can't get over how much the value has improved. I'm in reverse sticker shock! Everything's better, yet it's $1,000 less than the prior model (at the same configurations). Before, I was facing paying more than I'd ever spent on a MBP …
