There are actually 10.4 drivers for some 802.11n-era Ralink USB chipsets. It’s not ideal since they fully bypass the OSes WiFi stack, but better than nothing

On iPadOS you pretty much do need to be a leet haxor to use multiple windows, it’s a complicated mess involving swipes that’s totally undiscoverable

Compared to the Model 3, this has: - one extra inch of ground clearance - hatchback instead of trunk - a few more inches of head/leg room And because of that, it's an "SUV". This positioning is not at all exclusive to

Yes, it’s already documented (separately for Intel and Apple Silicon): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/hypervisor

The header file likely has comments that didn’t make it into these docs.

Yes, but it’s only for use by system libraries. The header files aren’t shipped, and applications should use their own copy rather than trying to use the system’s.

“has been” isn’t the case, it was removed in Windows 8. It worked on some Windows 7 variants though, with a separate download of tools.

They’re designing their own chips, including their own CPU core (which implements the ARM instruction set). TSMC actually fabs them though. There may be some ancillary cores or blocks licensed from ARM, but nothing major.

Win32 is supported, and a supported tool chain comes with Visual Studio.

Wow. Apple seems to have gone out of their way over the years to not provide their own actual MDM service, or even a server for people to host themselves. "We look forward to continuing to deliver Fleetsmith to existing and new custo

This getting released during WWDC does not feel like a coincidence. I wonder what Apple will be using it for, it’ll probably be mentioned in a session sometime this week.

Agreed. “Normal users” as a group far outnumber both though.

I’ve always used Fusion, I hope they bring it to ARM. They’ll be maintaining it for Intel for years anyway, and the ESXi management features are great

Hopefully, in time. Just needs support added for Hypervisor.framework on ARM.

The “cheese grater” 2010/2012 Mac Pro didn’t support AVX either, but supported 10.14. Apps have only been able to depend on Macs having AVX for a year, but of course they should still check at runtime.

I think it’s totally possible there will be external versions of these, connected through USB 3. Around the size of a hard drive, with an Atom or i3 and it’s own RAM/storage. Figure out the right interface and maybe it could be used fr

The A380(-800) is known to be “over-winged” (larger and generates more lift than would be optimal, at the cost of drag and weight). Apparently Airbus was planning to make a larger variant as well, and the wing was designed to accommodate th

On GCC/Clang, pt uses goto and the “labels as values” GNU extension so it can avoid Duff’s device. This simplifies things, and allows yielding inside a switch statement.

This seems more like codifying some principles/guidelines between a couple of new APIs (and hopefully everything going forward), rather than anything actually new: * can be used in UWP and Win32 apps (with no package required for Win32
