I wonder, once Apple makes the Mac relevant in gaming, if they also intend to make the Mac App Store relevant in gaming. Or if they are just going all-in on Steam.

ehh, or just buy a Hackintosh. Sonoma works great and so does imessage!

loopless said: One of the big advantages of Apple's "unified" memory approach is that you do not need to be continually shuffling data to and from the GPU and worrying if the GPU has enough memory. This is also why the RTX 4090 ships wit…

Doing so keeps the network secure, with Apple claiming the techniques "posed significant risks to user security and privacy." This would be a more compelling argument if Apple actually restricted iMessage to devices with a hardware certificate they…

Did the macos ports of the first two witcher games really skip right from 32-bit intel only to Apple Silicon only? I played them years ago, but I'm pretty sure they stopped working when I upgraded past Mojave.

The death of target display mode, combined with Apple's choice to use high-end panels in all their displays, means there is no way a 27" imac makes sense at any plausible price point. A Mac Mini with external monitor just makes more sense.

iLeakage is an exploit against a flaw in WebKit. Spectre is a class of exploits against Intel (and AMD) CPUs and their branch prediction functionality, irrespective of what software is being run on those CPUs. I am super confused by the conflation…

Just to recap, the "radically different" testing procedure in France is actually the exact same test, but measured at 0mm instead of the 5mm used everywhere else.

In the age of the lightning to USB-C transition, this is a good reminder that Apple has made some catastrophically bad decisions about connectors over the years. 45 pin Integrated Desktop Connector, anyone?

Sorry Andrew -- I'm very interested in whether my next Apple watch band should be leather or FineWoven and unfortunately this review strains credibility. You report snags, lint, stains, scratches, and other durability issues. But every photo in th…

Any word if the macos port will be based on the DirectX 11 version or the vulkan version of the engine for Baldur's Gate 3? Perhaps a compatibility layer wrapped around either? Or a completely separate metal implementation (unlikely)?

If Apple won't sell me a 13 mini I'll happily buy one from ebay or elsewhere. Form factor matters.

darkvader said: Small businesses don't want "cloud" (somebody else's computer) garbage, they want servers. ...and this was probably true in 2011. Owning and operating servers is absolutely insane for a small business in 2023.

Finally, someone has fixed ALL the unpatched security vulnerabilities in the Series 1 Apple Watch (watchOS 6)
