My issue with Anime on Netflix is that the subs are often trash (non-issue if you watch dubbed versions of shows, the Cowboy Bebop dub is excellent for instance). It's sometimes sad that even though the show is on Netflix, I end up usi

The only one that I can think off the top of my head is Solidworks which is only on Windows (unsure about Linux, but I’m leaning towards it not being available on Linux)

Dual booting has become basically impossible to do with M1 Macs. Support might come at a later date but between Windows arm licensing issues and Apple staying quiet on driver support, it’s essentially dead for now.

Seems like it shares the same shortcomings as the M1 Pro/Max family then.

Haha, for others here, lakh and crore stand for 10^5 and 10^7 respectively kind of an intermediary between the usual million and billion that we use in the west.

I mean looking at this I can see why people came to the conclusion that this was primarily a move that VC funding caused even though AgileBits seem to vehemently deny this.

But tbh Apple has been consistent in their TSMC orders so far. Intel is the dark horse here. It looks like Intel's trying to throw a wrench in AMD's future plans while they try hard to catch up.

You can completely customize Apollo. I have it setup like so with a compact layout where images and gifs and videos play only when I tap on the thumbnails. Otherwise, they stay out of my way and I can focus on the title more. (Also autoplay
