VLC demonstrates AV2 playback

Kinda funny seeing this running on what looks like a MacBook Pro, honestly. The thing is, this is AV2 we're talking about, the successor to AV1. Apple's already been pretty lukewarm about AV1 itself (they added hardware decode support starting with M3, continued through M4, and now M5, but still zer

OCLP team announced they can not commit to an OCLP update for Tahoe

I’m going to be straightforward since I work at a big tech company where we’re now in the process of collecting and disposing all Intel MacBook Pro laptops from 2019-2020. MacOS Tahoe runs like absolute dogshit on these Intel Macs. In JAMF (MDM) system logs collected, we have found these Macs to ent

Crazy how base MacBooks are getting cheaper while Windows gets pricier. M5 Air is 899 now...

I have an M5 Max MacBook Pro, it is not the platform you should selecting if gaming is your main priority. There have been some recent high-profile releases that work pretty well but out of the mainstream platforms, Mac misses out on the most software by far. Of my ~350 Steam games only 70 purport t

Check Who's Using Your iPhone Hotspot Data

When I had my pixel I never once had an issue with hotspot, it just worked, every single time. And everything else in my ecosystem was Apple, latest iPad Pro, arm MacBook Pro. I switch back to iOS with the 15P and now I have a 17PM and it’s almost useless. It disconnects if you don’t use it for 12 s

After being bitten by MacOS version changes and point releases breaking compatibility with things such as legacy software compatibility (especially abandonware), older plugins, and 32-bit binary support, I found myself often waiting for developers to accommodate the OS changes - or even throw out so

Windows ist undurchdacht

Nimm dir nen Snack und machs dir bequem ;) Die Firmenpolitik. War tatsächlich mal großer Apple-Fan, hatte nen Mac, MacBook Pro, iPhone, fand ne ganze Weile nur in der Apple-Welt statt.

Want to Buy my Best Friend a Laptop…

I should’ve mentioned the budget lol. 150-200, which is why Apple is a non-starter. I have an old MacBook Pro but nothing works on it now since I can’t upload to the new iOS
