I am from the future.
Such a disingenuous headline. The article outlines how pre-2012 Mac can’t support Metal, which breaks a bunch of stuff.
An aside: A few years ago, I used OCLP to install Monterey on my old (Early 2013) MacBook Pro 13”. It was fine, until one day it just stopped booting. It wasn’t hardware: Wiped it, reinstalled Catalina, still worked fine. It’s a fun toy to play with, but I wouldn’t want to be depending on it for anything important.

Album of the year
89 minutes!
Theia / The Silver Cord / Set Goes live in about 9 hours and 20 minutes! 10pm Melbourne time (UTC+11)
Edit: Oh, there are lyrics on the YouTube page already!
Edit again: So many timezone problems (we went daylight savings in Melb over the weekend). 11pm Melbourne time. 90 mins away!
(I’m not linking to Twitter, and it’s a shame they only dropped the news there.)
I sure hope they’re videos for The Silver Cord tracks, but they might still have some PDA in the tank…
This doesn’t really help, but it’s not just you.
Edit: Oh, wait, this article is specifically about USB-C chargers. Still odd yours isn’t working with USB-A!
It’s not a feature, but it’s by design.
Ah, sexism is alive and well in tech.
Oh, and the magazine is Musikexpress. Apparently it was listed on Musikexpress’ website briefly too. It would make sense they had embargoed info so it could make it to print.
We’ll soon find out! I don’t want to turn this place into a rumour mill, but this all feels true!
I’m confident it’s real, which is why I posted it. If I’m wrong then I’m a fool. It feels legit though!
That magazine page seems real, the rest of the info on the page is real, other info (like the track list) has leaked too, so the album seems to be close. Oh, and the name just feels right.
The band just got on board the hype train, so I reckon we’ll know for sure soon!
Sure, but the gaming situation is no worse than before the Apple silicon switch. You mentioned a reduced software library, but Rosetta 2 can run pretty much any Intel-only app at speeds comparable (or faster) to the last-gen of Intel Macs. This isn’t like the transition in 2005!
Besides, we’re three years into the switch, almost all non-game apps are Universal now.
A Mac is never going to be the greatest gaming machine, but an M-series MacBook is still preferable to an Intel one. For instance, Civ VI via Rosetta runs better on my M1 MacBook Pro than it did on my previous i7.
Safari on iOS supports extensions. Chrome on Android does not. But hey, keep telling yourself that Google are better than Apple at this.
No crying required, you can use something like NextDNS for DNS level ad blocking on iOS, and there are plenty of Safari extensions to help with this stuff.
I use 1Blocker for ads, Hush to block cookie notices, and Unobstruct to remove persistent overlays as needed. While we’re at it, Noir adds dark mode support to every webpage, StopTheMadness prevents websites doing hostile things (such as preventing copy and paste), and PiPifier makes every web video support picture in picture mode.
I mean… it could be fake, but at least it’s not a Mind Goblin joke.
15 years ago was Micro-USB, which was awful.
Just like how everyone has an accent. (Especially the people who think they don’t.)
