    PSA: Sideloading iOS apps blocked on 11.3 (but still working on 11.2.3)

    Thanks to my buddy @leons who’s updated to 11.3, I’ve just been notified of this. I myself have stayed on 11.2.3 and all aspects of sideloading still work as always. Installing apps by the traditional sideloading methods on 11.3, and running sideloaded apps you have already installed, has been...

    2021 iMac design - chin is also glass 🤯

    The entire front of the 2021 iMac is all glass. When watching Apple's 2021 iMac commercial you can see crystal clear reflections on the chin. It appear's that the chin isn't aluminum but rather glass, indicating that the entire front of this new iMac is all glass. I assume the glass is...

    What to Replace 2015 MBP with?

    My mbp has the 2.5 quad-core i7, 16gb of ram, and 2gb AMD R9. I don’t quite understand the new M1. People are raving over it, and that excitement is great, but I don’t know how to compare that to more traditional hardware. Is a Mac Mini M1 an all around upgrade for me? I was about to buy a 5k...

    Aspects where Intel Macs still outperform the M1 models?

    I'm happy to read other threads on this topic but I couldn't find one that's just a quick overview on the aspects where the Intel Macs are still better than the Apple Silicon models. Off the topic of my head quickly, it's the following: Multiple (external) monitors Support for booting into...

    2021 iMac

    Its pretty obvious that the 2021 imac will get a new refresh. Like its been 8 years since they've stuck with the same aluminium body design. Still does look timeless and new but needs a refresh. But is it possible that apple installs the m1 chip or a new apple silicon processor in the imac?

    Apple could really take over the market, but they won't!

    Hi! I really think that Apple has a very real chance of taking over the market with their amazing Apple Silicon CPUs, but unfortunately, due to their pricing strategies, they won't. Think about it, they could really come up with affordable 16-core computers, such as a Mac Mini, or the...

    Slow mouse movement when disabling acceleration on M1 MacBook Air

    Hi, I just bought an M1 MacBook Air and mostly everything works great, with a few exceptions. I usually like to disable mouse acceleration because I'm much more precise with that setting. The way I do it is by going to Terminal and entering defaults write .GlobalPreferences...

    Success: MacOS 9.2 - OSX 10.4 on M1 via QEMU x86

    Hey All, I figured this would be of interest, it's pretty frictionless to run PowerPC OSes via QEMU x86. I fully expected more problems. I haven't seen any try this but I would not be surprised if someone here already has. The requirements are as follows: Xcode + Xcode-select installed x86...

    Should I Return M1? Screen-tearing on LG5K & Bluetooth Issues

    Hi all, So I have my new M1 MacBook Air and I’m looking to virtualize Windows and stop carrying around two laptops, now that Windows on ARM supports x64 emulation (albeit horribly, but support nonetheless). Can anyone that has tried both the new Parallels M1 Preview and UTM (essentially QEMU)...

    How does M1 perform as a server?

    I was tempted to name this thread, "GoFundMe: help me replace all of my servers..." :D Hypothetically, has anyone seen impressive benchmarks on the M1 performing as a server? API/Web/Database/FTP/Email... etc? Traditionally speaking, service providers use our favorite flavor of Linux and load...
