  • Parallels Desktop 15 for macOS Catalina makes the move to Metal

    Tried playing overwatch in 13 I think, it was dismal. Maybe metal support will help but it says only 15% faster so probably not..
    Well there's a 15 day trial, so you can give it a go and let us know how you went.

  • 'Find My Friends' helps save teenager trapped under car

    @Racerhomie3, you can just turn it off on your device (if you're in an abusive household). 
    The abuser probably wouldn't take too kindly to having his or her source of location control taken away by the action of the abused turning off the Find my Friends feature, sadly, and this would probably lead to more abuse. 

    Someone in the situation of being abused needs the help of police or other family services to get out of an abusive household.

  • The TextBlade keyboard is superb, but you'll have to be patient

    A Gift, and a Principle. An ethical principle. 

    When something is entirely new, there are those forward thinkers who see its potential before all others, who order immediately, and who are promised much. Like quick ownership of a new product. 

    Those who understand TextBlade and enthusiastically order it before general release, and share it with their friends – they are an important part of its success. Without customers, there is no business, so on principle, we are ethically bound to do more for those who believe in us and trust us. 

    The perceptiveness to recognize what distinguishes TextBlade, which the Hoi Polloi would merely characterise as a small keyboard, and the patience while we work to assure quality, deserve recognition. After all, you've decided to spend $99. That's 99 US dollars, not Venezuelan Bolivars.

    Through extensive research of the best factories in China, we can make these things cost effectively, without taking shortcuts on quality. As such, we can place a sincere hand on our hearts, and the other on your wallets, and assure you that the paint will never come off. Keycaps will never break. Motherboards will never flex apart. Nano stands will never snap apart. We are so confident of this that we will give you a full year's warranty, because a mere 30 days is not enough. 

    Indeed, 30 days is the time period you have after purchase to request a refund, in full, no questions asked, shipping fees included, because we are principled. And ethical. And grammatical. 

    With TextBlade, we have engineered a revolution of incredible brilliance, so much so that we decided to spend some of our profit, from your money, on you. 

    When you receive your TextBlade, you'll discover a nice surprise. That surprise won't just be an actual TextBlade, because why would you ever be surprised to get what you paid for. No, we have an even better surprise - every pre-order customer receives a gift. The earlier your order, the more substantial your gift. We think you'll like the gift we've architected. It is significant. Even more significant than shipping on time - something we have planned very carefully, so as no to disappoint you. 

    This progressive principle reflects our gratitude, and ensures that the earliest customers get the best deal. That is the way it should be, and we shall make it so. Engage. Hit it.

  • Editorial: Apple's WWDC 2019 was far more than just the Mac Pro and Apple Pro Display XDR

    Brilliant article and absolutely spot on. Can’t wait for July to arrive during which the public betas will arrive, too - which I’m be installing immediately! :-)
