Avoid taking your phones in the bathroom, as it can expose you to radiation and increase your chances of haemorrhoids.

Emphasis mine, but seeing this made me immediately discount this site as a reputable source.

I can see that argument, sure. The fact that they asked people not to use it suggests it is having some effect on their brand.

I didn’t say I approve of the current tactics, I’m just pointing out that circumstances can be more complex than simply saying ‘let the parents sort it out’ and leaving it at that.

The issue with this argument is that many kids don’t have good parents, and some don’t have any parents at all.

Are those kids just supposed to be left to the mercy of bad actors because of their circumstances?

I’ll probably attract downvotes for this, but I find ‘Microslop’ as cringeworthy as old staples like Micro$haft or Crapple.

Like, yeah, they’re shitty companies. But calling them childish names just comes across as petty and insecure, kind of like when Trump gives someone a dumb nickname.

And now Rosetta is getting deprecated in the next release too!

Very few things in game dev are as simple as checking a box in the engine, unfortunately.

To distribute a macOS game on Steam I believe the app needs to be signed and notarised, which requires several extra steps and a (paid) Apple Developer account. It’s one reason why many devs simply don’t bother supporting the platform.

No, there’s no way to easily install Windows on Apple Silicon like back in the days of Bootcamp on Intel. If there’s no native macOS version of a game, you have to use translation layers like you would on Linux - either Wine or Apple’s own Game Porting Toolkit.

There’s also no support for 32-bit apps any more, so many older games with native macOS releases don’t work anymore either.

That said, when I looked through my Steam & GOG libraries on Mac I was surprised at how many games do apparently run natively. Far more than I expected. But it’s just a curiosity really - if I want to play a game I’ll use my PC.

That’s just not true, at least in the UK. Debit cards are the standard here, not credit, and they don’t have the same age restrictions.

Do You Dream in Colour? by Bill Nelson.

Great song, to be fair. My dad always insists that Gary Numan was a Bill Nelson ripoff with less talent. Personally, I think Bill has kind of a weak voice and was never destined for big success, but I do enjoy much of his work and Bebop Deluxe are hugely underrated.

Browsing the web without an ad blocker is an act of self-harm.

It’s all done on device and works even if you’re offline.

To use Live Translation, you need to download the language the other person is speaking and the language you’d like to translate it to. Once the language models have been downloaded, all processing takes place on your iPhone, where all of your conversation data remains private.

I’m also waiting for the full iFixit review, but teardowns from other channels are now being shared and so far it looks like it’s very solidly built and repair-friendly. None of the typical ‘cover everything in excessive glue and tape’ anti-repair shenanigans we’ve come to expect from Apple.

Finally, a way to indulge in exhibitionism without having to leave the house!

You got a 2017 laptop with an A18 Pro chip? Wow that’s incredible!

That claim seems like it’d be trivial to fact check, and indeed does seem to be false.

Except for them to be directly comparable you’d also have to get a keyboard cover for the iPad, making it more expensive than the MacBook, and it’d still have one fewer USB port and no audio jack.

Whenever I visit the Balkans I absolutely devour poppy seed rolls.

For the uninitiated, they’re not just bread rolls with poppy seeds on top; they’re cakes or pastries filled with a sweet poppy seed paste. It’s delicious but very hard to find outside Eastern Europe.

I can only speak for myself, but I enjoy having a regular supply of interesting problems to solve, and the daily routine keeps me grounded.
