This performance disparity between OS X and Windows for gaming may finally be diminished now that Apple’s bringing Metal from iOS to OS X (far faster than using OpenGL): http://www.imore.com/metal-os-x-so-huge-i-no-longer-ne

If these are still the defaults for the $199 boxed version of Windows 10 Pro (including all the things like ads in the OS), I’ll be pretty disappointed. OS X is free as well (and has been for years), but Apple hasn’t pulled crap like puttin

That’s pretty cool. I’d love to try using a browser like this for a while, but to be honest, I’d probably feel too naked to be browsing the web with no tracking-blocking extensions. No JavaScript makes a huge difference of course, but I dou

That sounds amazing! I’d love to try MorphOS on my 20-inch iMac G5 (iSight) ¹ which also struggles a bit with H.264 720p+ video (especially when using QuickTime Player, which seems to be pretty inefficient), but unfortunately, judging by t

That doesn’t sound much like playing a piano to me. Any song not intended for beginners will require the pianist to press multiple keys at once (called chording¹). ―――――― ¹ — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chording

Man, this is amazing! So convenient, and it makes full use of Unicode’s 'Box Drawing' block too! I’ve been using Emacs whenever I’ve needed to make ASCII art, but it’s a lot more cumbersome. Damn, this is practically my dream prog

Depending on the hardware combination, you may be able to make some of those Eurocom laptops into usable Hackintoshes though.

Ah, yeah. It actually shows up like that on my OS X v10.9 computer as well. This webpage’s stylesheet specifies that comments should use either Verdana, Geneva, or a sans-serif font. Since neither Verdana or Geneva have a glyph for U+2705 W

Yeah, I think characters like that (such as the glyphs for the Emoticons Unicode block (U+1F600〜4F) that the font Symbola¹ uses) aren’t as legible on low DPI displays at font sizes like 12pt, which is even worse when you’re using them in pl

At the risk of being pedantic, in addition to U+2714 (HEAVY CHECK MARK), I’d like to point out a few other check marks represented in Unicode that could be used as well: ☑ (U+2611 BALLOT BOX WITH CHECK) ✅ (U+2705 WHITE HEAVY CHECK MARK) ✓ (
