    Good 4K27inch alternative for second monitor on iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019?

    I have been using an LG 27UK650 4k monitor as second monitor on my 2019 iMac and on my 2018 Mac mini. As of macOS Monterey, this monitor is no longer correctly recognised and the suspicion is that this leads to problems such as this one...

    The Mac OS X86 Project - The Ultimate OS X Lion for 32-bit Macs

    As you may know, Mac OS X Lion dropped support for 32-bit Intel Macs. Mountain Lion also removed the 32-bit kernel and EFI bootloader. However, it's possible to get Lion running on 32-bit Macs by swapping out the kernel, the bootloader, and the Finder, as well as some drivers (kexts) and...

Was this made possible by the move from x86 to ARM? Or is it about engineering innovations and good chip...

    Windows support in an ARM future

    Recently rumors have been heating up that Apple will move Macs to the ARM architecture next year (2021.) What does that mean for Windows support on Macs? Will there be a few high performance Macs that still use Intel chips? (I'm looking at you, Mac Pro.) Will Apple offer some kind of emulation...

Early hints of this can be found in developer previews of OS X, which let developers target either PowerPC or Intel development. Even ancestor of OS X, NextStep and...
