To an M5? I doubt it.

Avoid taking your phones in the bathroom, as it can expose you to radiation and increase your chances of haemorrhoids.

Emphasis mine, but seeing this made me immediately discount this site as a reputable source.

I can see that argument, sure. The fact that they asked people not to use it suggests it is having some effect on their brand.

I didn’t say I approve of the current tactics, I’m just pointing out that circumstances can be more complex than simply saying ‘let the parents sort it out’ and leaving it at that.

The issue with this argument is that many kids don’t have good parents, and some don’t have any parents at all.

Are those kids just supposed to be left to the mercy of bad actors because of their circumstances?

I’ll probably attract downvotes for this, but I find ‘Microslop’ as cringeworthy as old staples like Micro$haft or Crapple.

Like, yeah, they’re shitty companies. But calling them childish names just comes across as petty and insecure, kind of like when Trump gives someone a dumb nickname.

And now Rosetta is getting deprecated in the next release too!

Very few things in game dev are as simple as checking a box in the engine, unfortunately.

To distribute a macOS game on Steam I believe the app needs to be signed and notarised, which requires several extra steps and a (paid) Apple Developer account. It’s one reason why many devs simply don’t bother supporting the platform.

No, there’s no way to easily install Windows on Apple Silicon like back in the days of Bootcamp on Intel. If there’s no native macOS version of a game, you have to use translation layers like you would on Linux - either Wine or Apple’s own Game Porting Toolkit.

There’s also no support for 32-bit apps any more, so many older games with native macOS releases don’t work anymore either.

That said, when I looked through my Steam & GOG libraries on Mac I was surprised at how many games do apparently run natively. Far more than I expected. But it’s just a curiosity really - if I want to play a game I’ll use my PC.

That’s just not true, at least in the UK. Debit cards are the standard here, not credit, and they don’t have the same age restrictions.

Browsing the web without an ad blocker is an act of self-harm.

Ate a bad kebab, nearly shat myself on the tube coming home from work, spent two days in bed with diarrhoea and vomiting, and I’ve had IBS ever since. Good times.

It’s all done on device and works even if you’re offline.

To use Live Translation, you need to download the language the other person is speaking and the language you’d like to translate it to. Once the language models have been downloaded, all processing takes place on your iPhone, where all of your conversation data remains private.

I’m also waiting for the full iFixit review, but teardowns from other channels are now being shared and so far it looks like it’s very solidly built and repair-friendly. None of the typical ‘cover everything in excessive glue and tape’ anti-repair shenanigans we’ve come to expect from Apple.

The Hobbit trilogy was filmed and released in 48 fps (in theatres only, now lost media), and pretty much everyone hated it.

I saw it and can confirm it looked really fucking weird. I thought I’d get used to it after a while but the effect kept pulling me out of the movie throughout the entire runtime.

I have a cup of black coffee once a day, usually made with an aeropress. On weekends I might have black tea instead, depending on how I feel.

I try not to have my first cup before about 10.30-11.00am, so my body has a chance to wake up naturally. I don’t really know if there’s any science behind that, but I feel like it helps make me less reliant on coffee to get me going in the morning.

I mostly just have one cup a day and then switch to Barleycup (caffeine-free hot drink) in the afternoon, but on very busy days I might have a second coffee around 4pm. I try not to, because if I do that too many days in a row I can feel my body starting to need caffeine to operate at a baseline level.

If it gets to that point, I avoid coffee for a few days to ‘reset’. Again, not sure if there’s any scientific basis for that but it seems to work for me.

In my experience, people build up a tolerance to caffeine pretty fast. It doesn’t take long to go from ‘a cup gives me a boost’ to ‘I have no energy until I have a cup’, which are very different things. I see people saying they drink an entire pot per day or more, and I have to wonder if they even get any benefit from it at all, besides holding off the headaches and fatigue of caffeine withdrawal.

Finally, a way to indulge in exhibitionism without having to leave the house!

You got a 2017 laptop with an A18 Pro chip? Wow that’s incredible!

That claim seems like it’d be trivial to fact check, and indeed does seem to be false.
