so neat.

I think we’re gonna need a bigger scale.

Got it! Thanks for the explanation!

Is this a good thing I’m looking at or a bad thing? I don’t get it but then again, I’m not a programmer.

Why is the GOP so fucking stupid? Living here makes my heart hurt.

mildly infuriating?! That’s a mild understatement.

If I makes you feel any better, I give a shit.

😩

Got it. Well there are already enough alternatives so no worries!

yes.

Will this be for iOS too?

Love to see it, especially later in 2435.

That article was a fun read. Now I won’t be trying threads but I wasn’t going to before too.

Crisp.

True, it’s not an Apple computer. But for me the thing that always drew me towards macOS was the OS. The hardware is an added bonus in that it was solid and sturdy. Except when it wasn’t. When something went wrong, that was a pain because of the walled garden that Apple had built. No way to fix it by yourself (often) so off to the Apple Store goes for a 1-2 week turn around time.

I definitely have heard your experience before though. People build them and then want to set it and forget it. Definitely can’t do that with a hackintosh. With a little attention over the years though it’s been a good experience and fairly robust for me.

Sad it can’t be maintained forever and will make the jump back onto Apple silicon when this machine goes but glad I dipped my toe in these waters.

What about: Lemmy.wehavebeans?

Fair enough and you raise a valid point. I ended up building a hackintosh, which is going five years strong now, so I could upgrade parts as desired/when needed. I love it and am sad that it’s probably only going to be able to stay up to date on software for another year or two.

I’ll give you that, you had to upgrade the whole box. Doesn’t change the fact that if you had one with a decent gpu that you could still game with it.

I’ve been a Apple MBP owner since 2008 and a Mac user as far back as I can remember. The argument that macs can’t game always ticked me off because if you had any of the pro models (e.g. a dedicated gpu), from a hardware perspective this demonstrably wasn’t true. Install boot camp and a copy of windows and games ran without barrier. It’s just that most developers didn’t produce games to run natively on Mac so therefore gamers didn’t buy macs. Ergo “can’t”game on a Mac.

Prig has turned around. His march didn’t last long.
