You can at least get 90% of the same experience with modern x86 laptops. Just exclude anything that has a dedicated GPU.

They still exist separately today because the modding scene is completely different for them. Minecraft Java is the original and has a huge modding community based on decompiling and patching the game. Those mods are all incompatible with B

Even Unity games compile AOT via IL2CPP. It's optional on PC/macOS but required for most other platforms. The only real reason games may not build with it enabled is if they want to allow modding via IL decompilation.

I wouldn't really classify C# as a scripting language even if some of those engines say it is. The main criteria (IMO) of a scripting language is to be easily embeddable and C# is not.

I don't really see why the UI is despised. Windows 8 was bad, 10 brought sanity mostly back, and 11 is in a good state now IMO.

I wouldn't fully blame Bluetooth. Part of the problem with streaming audio is how you tolerate lag. Playback requires a constant sample rate of audio but your network is not guaranteed to deliver data at a constant rate. Designs need t

Maybe you're unaware of actual improvements made since Windows 7, such as swap/pagefile memory compression.

I am not suggesting that Geekbench is intentionally favoring Apple Silicon. The code the benchmark runs just happens to run better on Apple Silicon. And Geekbench also poorly scales with higher core counts so multicore scores are almost use

by Rohansi 2y ago
Geekbench is biased towards Apple Silicon for whatever reason. Take a look at any other benchmarks, preferably ones that test real world workloads.

by Rohansi 2y ago
The bandwidth difference likely doesn't make a difference though. Benchmarks of Apple Silicon show that the compute bottlenecks far before running out of bandwidth, even when fully loading all CPU cores, the GPU, etc.

You actually can use it for embedded and kernel development! See .NET Nano Framework [1] for embedded - works on microcontrollers like ESP32. For kernel development there's nothing really built in to support it but people have built to

Everything collects analytics these days. However, VS Code let's you opt out of telemetry and I doubt it slows down builds like Xcode is doing.

Steam does its own thing but many games also collect their own analytics as you play.

It's 2025 and most apps do not match the OS they run on. What would you even want apps to match on Windows? There are different styles depending on what you build with (Win32/Forms, WPF, UWP, etc).

The UK government is not a dictatorship. Bad policies like this should be pushed back against by both corporations and individuals or things will get worse. Easier said than done, I know, but Apple instantly rolling over is not a good sign

Removing ADP for customers in the UK should damage Apple's brand worldwide. Why should you trust that Apple won't remove ADP for others in the future?

Pratt parsers are a really nice way to handle mathematical expressions like this vs. the usual recursive descent. https://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2011/03/19/pratt-parsers-...

Why does it need to be thought out at all? The whole point of this is to run something on your machine.

by Rohansi 2y ago
Yes it is. The C# side of it is growing and that is easy enough to decompile though, if you're just curious. That's custom to S&box though and not a part of Source 2.

Are you estimating based on hardware capability? Probably - but even if devs put the work in to port their games to Mac they will all slowly drop out of compatibility. Many games stop being updated after a while and you can't expect ev

Unlike every other company that does this you're paying the premium and they aren't even subsidizing the hardware costs.

What older architecture? Windows has been on x86 for decades. You should be able to run any 32-bit application built 20+ years ago on modern Windows, assuming the application didn't rely on undocumented/internal Windows APIs.

I think it's only necessary because extensions may need to run client side. Not sure if that means the extension needs to be published on their marketplace site.

The value you are talking about is all because of SMS. It's the lowest common denominator and IMO shouldn't be combined into a single app. And there's definitely no reason why either iMessage or RCS E2EE need to be locked to

How exactly does any of this prevent people from sending spam to you?
748.
by Rohansi 2y ago
At least RCS is an attempt at being a cross platform standard, even if it still sucks. iMessage is locked down to Apple devices only. Even if you reverse engineered the protocol you wouldn't be able to get it on Android because Apple w

I don't know why anyone even uses the GUI frameworks from Microsoft these days. WinForms is only good if you need to throw something together quick. Everything else should be Avalonia ( https://avaloniaui.net/ ). Cross p

I just don't buy that it's a special security concern at all. There are so many other possible security vulnerabilities to exploit that don't involve a JIT compiler. So why would Apple specifically restrict third party apps f
