Apple Vision Pro gets more comfortable with Kontor Head Strap
I find the need to pay for a 3rd party workaround a bit irritating. I purchased the Belkin head strap add-on ($50) and it does, indeed, reduce some of the pressure on the nasal bridge but it annoys me to have had to shell out an extra $50 on top of the $3500+ that I paid for the VisionPro to deal with a design failure on Apple's part. Frankly, Apple should just have sent out the head strap to each of its early adopters.
I would like to also point out something about the wording of the headline on this post - "gets more comfortable" doesn't mean that it's comfortable to use. It's just less uncomfortable than before. I use my VisionPro maybe once every month or two simply to see if Apple has released any new immersive content. I've watched two or three movies on the VisionPro and the discomfort after two hours is just not worth it. The future potential is amazing but you have to have a really, really good reason to use it now. -
Musicians to lose Finale notation app after 35 years
When Microsoft discontinued Money in 2009 they released a Sunset edition that did not require registration. I'm still running it years later although, thankfully, I no longer have to keep a Windows machine around since Parallels does a great job running Windows 11 on my Mac. I'm surprised that the developer of Finale hasn't considered a sunset version. He wouldn't even have to host the download, there are a number of third-party download sites such as cnet.com.

Microsoft, Parallels partnership brings Windows 11 to Apple Silicon Macs
mknelson said:marktime said:Not really. Microsoft doesn't sell Windows for ARM. The only version that I am aware of is the Windows 11 Insider Preview ARM64. That's not a generally available version. There's a lot less to this announcement than is implied.
I think the main takeaway is Microsoft won't go out of their way to break ARM64 installs if they aren't on computers with Qualcomm CPUs.
"You can get Windows onto an Apple Silicon MacBook Air."
No you can't unless you are enrolled in the Microsoft's Windows Insider program. -
