  • CrossOver update brings EA and DirectX 12 game support to Mac

    CrossOver and Wine only really run very specific apps and games reliably.  If you want to use Win32 productivity apps ( e.g.  any Office 365 apps and pretty much everything else apart from games) then Windows 11 ARM64 running in Parallels is the way to go.

  • Setapp plans to launch EU-only alternative iOS App Store

    And will SetApp handle all the FinTech of crediting sales in the EU to a US Bank account , providing all the monthly reports, and usage, and all the special EU rules with privacy statements etc etc. Apple does a lot of stuff for its cut of the sale. As well as providing a level of protection for the user ( not perfect, but better than nothing) that you are not getting malware.

  • Lawmakers urged to block TSMC worker visas over Arizona plant construction

    Most people have no idea what a severe shortage of skilled AND unskilled workers exists  in the USA and why immigration benefits everyone. The racist, anti-immigration sentiment that extends even to PhD level H1-B workers is frankly idiotic , and not born out by the facts, which  show bringing in  highly educated and motivated people to work here benefits everyone.  The higher education system here does not produce enough STEM graduates for industry, so "taking jobs from Americans" is a lie.

  • Apple's limited in-person Vision Pro developer labs are poorly attended

    There are opportunities for developers of existing VR apps that allow engineers to check for example, build-ability/repairability of an airplane/car etc by  seeing if the technician  can "reach" into the space to fit/remove the part.. Those "apps" sell now for many thousands of dollars and are a complete package that integrates with CAD/CAE systems. They should be jumping in feet first.

  • Apple Watch emergency calls false positives slammed by UK police chiefs

    The Police in the UK don't like answering any calls to do with real crime and emergencies.
    They're too busy protecting woke ideologies 😡
    Yeah, doing a terrible job. The murder rate in the UK is 4 times less than the USA, and dropping. But don't let facts get in your way, Ron.
