Thanks all for the explanation of the issues with x86 emulation with regard to VMs.

Ever since Apple Silicon and VMWare and Parallels deciding to just give up, I've been wondering: Is emulating x86 in a virtual machine on Apple Silicon A) impossible B) forbidden by Apple C) possible but no one wants to do it and therefore they are just not trying I'm not talking about ARM...

The Belkin car mount not including wireless charging is just such an enormous fail to me. The point of wireless is to be.... wireless. If I have to plug in the phone to a cable then it's not actually wireless. The charging cable should be plugged into the mount so that the only thing you have to...

7/3 Apple store called me to confirm my shipping address because the Apple Store was closing and it would now be shipped directly to me. 7/4 they finally started repair. 7/6 repair completed 7/7 repair shipped priority overnight 7/8 Fedex has failed to deliver so I'll get it tomorrow on the 21st...

On Friday they said there was a delay in the "check in process" whatever that means. But who knows. I hope I can get it back soon.

The Apple Store finally opened up and I took it to get serviced. The initial diagnosis is the screen, which (happy news) is being replaced for free because of marks on it from the keyboard. However, just ans FYI to anyone getting repairs, they are taking WAY longer than in the past presumably...

Randomly this comes and goes. Sometimes it gets really really bad and sometimes it just randomly has jumps. It looks like interlacing, and it doesn't affect the top of the screen at the menu bar. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I uploaded a video to youtube of it...

Free for a limited time! Catch up and refresh yourself on all the fun that was the Half Life universe right up until the end of Half Life 2: Episode 2 after which you'll be wanting more but will never get it because Gabe refuses to finish it. That's the joke. Just listen to the man himself...

Saw a Mac Pro 2019 and the Pro Display XDR at the local Apple Store. The Mac Pro is pretty and is not as big as I thought it was going to be. The display and it's ridiculously priced stand are insanely beautiful but the price is also insane. I'd rather have 3 of my Dell 32" 4k displays and use...

I've been mentally working up justification for buying one of these new Mac Pros and then I remembered that some of the software I use doesn't work in Catalina yet and I LOL'd.

Good grief. "I'm shooting my unboxing video with multiple RED cameras!" Clearly she has money to burn so naturally she has two displays with their ridiculous $1000 stands to go with the (quad GPU?) setup she now has.

Happy "Let's max out a Mac Pro config to a configuration almost no one will buy and take a screenshot so we can feel better about ourselves by saying Macs are expensive" day! So many smug "Macs are expensive look you can spec one to $50k+" articles and posts today, and I'm sure 100% of everyone...

Sony it is then! Thanks for the info.

I'm planning on upgrading my parents' cars stereos to be CarPlay ones so they can more safely talk and drive. They have a 2006 Prius and a 1998 Toyota Avalon. Is there any aftermarket CarPlay brand or specific stereo that's particularly easy to use that anyone can recommend off the top of their...

The $Grand Stand - the $999 stand, is ... just.... wow. I'm sure it's beautifully designed and engineered (aside from the lack of VESA mounting holes and the price: those parts are just stupid), but just from the optics alone it's just baffling. It begs for ridicule. Is there any comparable...

I hope that commitment is better than disabling the Wacom tablet via security hotfix like happened on Wednesday. In order to get it to work again you had to go into System Preferences and give the Wacom driver permission to control the cursor again. Literally no warning whatsoever other than the...

My biggest concern is the 32 bit app removal, honestly. I'm assuming that all the apps that I get random pop up warnings for, like Google Earth Pro, are affected by this. I hope Google is going to fix this, because I really use the desktop Google Earth all the time and the web browser version is...

Ok, so I spent a few minutes going around to various workstation configurators and the new Mac Pro is no longer looking so expensive as it did with my first impression. For instance, a base configuration Dell Precision 7920, selecting the 8 core 3.2Ghz (3.7Ghz turbo, both numbers slower than...

Thinking back to my 2008 Mac Pro, which when you spec'd it out was actually comparable to a similarly configured PC in price. The new one seems the opposite of that. It seems to be WAY more expensive. Sigh.

This ^ Also, if Valve were to analyze my brain waves they would just learn that with regards to Valve my brain waves only form one pattern which says "Where is conclusion to the Half Life series you promised you jerks?" (though in more colorful language)
