    Which version of macOS do you use mostly often recently?

    Have any of you realized that the Windows XP hill (the bliss wallpaper) was shot in Sonoma, California, the same place MacOS Sonoma was named after? Was this purposeful? Maybe Apple is making a tribute to Windows XP? Or possibly their “Get a Mac” ad campaign, which started when XP was still the...

    Apple is using games as advertisements and missing the point

    Edit/tldr: Apple are showing off years old AAA games to show how powerful their chips are. But gaming is far bigger and varied than AAA games. They need to help cultivate development- AAA and indie. I don’t feel like they are doing that. Hey guys. I want to preface this by saying that I love...

    The software on my iPhone is extremely slow!

    I converted a macOS programme for the iPhone. WOW!!! Is that slow? At first, I wondered if I was making a lot of disc accesses. However, as I began to examine, I realised I was just reading an offset from a binary file. Only roughly 512 bytes of data were read in. I also have a sizable array...
