    This is great news, wish they'd add the GPU support to Catalina too - I don't want to update to Big Sur just yet.
    Sometimes copying the drivers to an older OS works, they are signed by Apple, after all. But of course only if they don’t rely on APIs not present in older OS versions…

  • Apple restricts offensive AirTag engravings, including emoji combinations

    rcfarcfa
    That’s going to be fun, when Asians want a Lucky 88 on their tag, and hyperventilating SJWs start pointing out that Neo-Nazis use that instead of HH 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Could Apple stop with the Disneyfication of the world? It’s OK to be offended and to offend! It’s part of the human experience.

    And what about the hand emoji that in some cultures means a-hole and in others a-OK? Or the one that either means “rock on” or “you’re girl ist cheating on you” depending on cultural context?
    or, or, or, …

    Apple might just as well stop engraving anything at all, because in some language, in some context, someone will find anything offensive.

  • Compared: 2021 iPad Pro vs 2020 iPad Pro and 2018 iPad Pro

    Why is this thing not dual boot macOS and iPadOS?

    In particular, a 12” iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard is, in every sense, the superior hardware when compared to a MacBook Air, yet it’s forced to run the crippled iPadOS!

    The kernel is the same between macOS and iPadOS, Catalyst is present to run i(Pad)OS apps under macOS, and the OS could restrict apps to Catalyst when used without MagicKeyboard to optimize for touch Ui.

     But why can we not (at least optionally) run macOS on an iPad Pro wit MagicKeyboard?

    THAT is what I’m waiting for! A Mac with the ability to use pen/finger to interact where needed. For the most part, I use my current iPad Pro with keyboard and touchpad, with the occasional screen/pen interaction

  • Apple debuts colorful 24-inch iMac with M1, upgraded camera and audio

    Annoying grey screen bezel! Yuck!

    black border please! Or at least same color as the case, so one can pick dark blue, or silver.

    two colors on the front is just annoying

  • Sony pumps $200M into Epic ahead of legal fight with Apple

    Hold on, doesn't Sony charge game developers a 30% cut?  In Epic's view, wouldn't that make Sony's investment blood money?

    Or is that hush, or protection money?
    I guess for Sony it’s insurance: if people buy through its store, it makes money directly, and through profit sharing in Epic through its investment.
    if users buy in the Epic store, Sony loses out on the direct sales, but Epics profits on the sale are higher, and Sony makes the money through profit sharing.
    This way Sony makes money either way.
    If Apple wins, they can enforce similar rules in their own store, if Apple loses, at least as far as Epic goes, they secured their profit by other means.
