There is, try to load the website again in a new window or tab, it will show a different fingerprint.

Safari adds some noise to canvas. So the website above will say it's unique, but each time Safari swaps its web process (when you load a different website or a new window or a new tab) it will change to a different one.

It seems to launch all the apps you had open when you pressed the "Update" button, even if that was 30 minutes before the installation began.

It's a screenshot of macOS running in low-dpi mode.

by galad87 2y ago
macOS on a low dpi screen is mostly full of those kind of issues. I wouldn't recommend using a low dpi screen.

It can be resized vertically, but the UI is lay out in a way that it doesn't make sense to resize it horizontally (not saying that I like that UI layout, but it has got a reason for the limitation).

Already done, third party stores will be possible in iPadOS 18.

iPhone-recorded Dolby Vision videos uses an additional metadata called "Ambient Viewing Environment", and I don't think any third-party player supports it at the moment. https://developer.apple.com/documentati

It depends. The Xcode app is takes only ~6 GB on disk (it's compressed, and the next version will use even less disk space), and it contains the macOS SDK. The others SDK are optional, so it won't automatically install iOS simulat

The articles says it's used mostly in old UI components like NSCell, that can only be used on the main thread. NSImage & NSImageRep have questionable thread safety, and I don't know how often NSAnimation is copied on a non mai

Are the benefits for the developers or for the users? Does a more flexible update schedule means less QA because you can just push more updates?

The funny thing is that the Source Engine code was leaked years ago, so now it's possible to compile an arm64 native version of Half-Life, Portal, and more, without Valve help. https://www.macsourceports.com has many old ge

Portal 2 was 32-bit, but macOS could already run 64-bit apps since 2007.

Graphics layers are fairly stable, OpenGL still works, and Metal was introduced 10 years ago. The issue is that they switched the CPU architecture three times, from PPC to Intel to ARM, and dropped 32-bit support to make the ARM transition

Those performance claim requires a big [citation needed] banner.

No.

Probably because they don't want anyone to depend on AMX, and they want to be free to remove it or change it in the future. On the M4 for example AMX features are accessible thru SME, which is an official ARM extension.

What's larger than Windows + Xbox + Playstation for AAA games?

by galad87 2y ago
I know, but why make a Direct3D wrapper on Vulkan when in the end you are going to run only Direct3D games anyway.
82.
by galad87 2y ago
Why Vulkan? Let's implement DirectX directly and call it a day.

iTerm AI feature was off by default and you had to manually insert a valid key, but it seems it was still an issue.

I wonder how those companies will deal with the upcoming AI features in Windows and macOS.

From https://512pixels.net/2013/07/power-mac-g4/ : the ad was based on the fact that Apple was forbidden to export the G4 to many countries due to its “supercomputer” classification by the US government.

Yes, Apple will take down apps that are blatant redistribution without license of open-source software. Years ago I made a simple utility app and put the code on GitHub, someone took the code, changed the name, and uploaded it on the App St

Because HandBrake uses some parts of the FFmpeg libraries, but HandBrake scope is much smaller than FFmpeg, and while it uses some parts, it's definitely not FFmpeg CLI GUI.

Plug-ins that use PACE / iLok protection. The irony is that the cracked versions probably are still working.

Mostly, but JIT is not allowed in the App Store apps, so probably this change didn't broke anything over there.
