Valve makes Half-Life free on macOS for 25th anniversary
Few people know this… but Half-life for Mac was nearly completed and was scrapped at the last second. I have no idea how but was able to get my hands on a late stage alpha. Burger Becky was involved in the development and in an interview with her she admitted she was shocked at how late in the process it was scrapped.This is really cool it kind of came to release. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/mac-half-life-canceled/1100-2448672/

M3 Max benchmarks show Mac Pro performance in a MacBook
This just tells me how badly nerfed the m2 Ultra is. They could easily throw a cooler on that cpu and crank up the voltages... right?It never made sense to me why the Studio and Mac Pro had the exact same specs with enclosures that have different cooling properties.

Microsoft says that if Apple isn't stopped now, its antitrust behavior will just get worse...
Came here to say the same thing.mark fearing said:Are their alternative Xbox stores? Can I side load games onto my Xbox?
Not to mention they had a store for Windows Mobile before they killed it off.

Woman gets 18 months behind bars for stealing $1M in iPods meant for Native American stude...
That was staged.patchythepirate said:But then again, there was that lady recently on an airplane that freaked out after it was discovered the "baby" she was "nursing" was a taxidermied lynx cat with googly eyes (if you haven't seen the video, it's worth looking up lol).
I honestly don't get how people think they can get away with it either. I'd like to know more about her mental state.

Compared: M1 Max 16-inch MacBook Pro versus Mac Pro
I agree it isnt going to happen. But it is precedented: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_Processor_Upgrade_Cardsdw2001 said:tht said:

Hope away. Not gonna happen. Sell Apple Silicon mother boards that the user can swap out in the current Intel Mac Pro? Hilarious. Ridiculous.tht said:Let us all hope that Apple will sell ARM motherboards that will fit into the 2019 Mac Pro, along with driver support for at least the 1st party dGPU modules, HDD modules, Afterburner modules, etc. They will hopefully sell 1st party 64 and 128 GPU core MPX modules too, for all the customers who just need more GPU compute.
If the rumored half sized Apple Silicon Mac Pro starts at $2000, a full sized Mac Pro (2019 model) starts at $5000, and a Mac mini starts at $700, Apple will have a full headless desktop lineup spanning all the price tiers since 2006, just before the PPC to Intel transition. Even more so than back then even. That "half size Mac Pro" has to hit $2000 though.The 2019 Mac Pro is as modular a design as there is. As Lego as it can get. There aren’t any wires in it save for aux power for high Watt 3rd part dGPUs or PCIe cards. (Well, there is the speaker too). Owners don’t need any tools to take it apart, with everything accessible by hand with easy access everywhere. A machine to last for a decade or more.
So if there is ever machine where Apple sells a motherboard kit, the 2019 Mac Pro is it.
Not. Going. To. Happen. Apple Silicon is a totally different architecture. It's literally a different way of building a computer. It doesn't matter that the 2019 MP is Lego-like. They would have to ensure that the board was compatible with everything from Afterburner cards to discreet RAM to GPUs. While some of these may be options on a redesigned MP with Apple Silicon, they sure as hell aren't going to cannibalize new MP sales by offering a board that makes purchasing a new one unnecessary. It would also be unprecedented for Apple. Did they do anything of the kind when they went from G5 to Intel? Of course not. We're talking about an even greater transition here.
