    Indeed but equally this is something I dislike about Macs - on Windows this software would still work just fine.

    Motorola literally sells an Android phone for £200 with 5G. I just don't buy it.

    To be fair I've maintained for a while now that the reason Apple uses lightning on the phones is because it's quite frankly much more durable than USB-C.

    I think it depends on what your living situation is like as well. Because I live reasonably far out into the suburbs, my home office is a completely separate room, so it's fairly e…

    Indeed and it's this utter nonsense that made me finally give in and switch to Windows. Turns out it's nicer than I thought.

    Indeed. I'm honestly surprised to read of such poor experiences here because I've honestly found that Windows 10 has given me a lot less grief than macOS has recently.

    Indeed - I was a pretty heavy Mac user for years but I genuinely find that Windows gives me less grief lately.

    To be fair I have a DSLR that quite clearly takes much, much better photos than my iPhone Xs Max takes (despite what Apple's marketing would have you believe), but in reality I jus…

    To be honest it never really bothered me once I realised that a lot of iPad apps let me rebind the caps lock key to work as escape. I'd just love for them to make that option avail…

    I'm using browns with O rings at work. Feel great and are no louder than anyone else's keyboard.

    Why not Semantic-ui-react? Surprised it isn't getting more of a mention here, using it at my company and it's been fantastic.

    This is a big part of it for me. I love Logic Pro / Cubase / Ableton, and having access to those is pretty important. Admittedly part of the reason I prefer macOS to Windows is tha…

    I totally get that. In all honesty, in a rational world a MacBook is more than enough performance for me (and it's actually what I use at work), but there's still very much an enth…

    A few years ago I was considering open sourcing a small app I had developed a few years ago. Turns out it'd actually require a lot of work to remove dependencies on other libraries…

    You still need a real serial but you can generate one pretty easily. Just need to check on Apple's website if it validates. I have my PC with an AMD Ryzen 3900X running with macOS …

    My understanding is it's actually a limitation of the Intel C++ compiler they use but I can't confirm this. On Windows it bakes in some conditionals to check if the CPU is GenuineI…

    Do you not ever miss the added power of your hackintosh though? I have a 2017 MBP and it's a great machine but I still love having my big ridiculously powerful desktop with three m…

    In short, some software (Adobe included) makes use of features that are available on Intel processors but not on AMD. Whilst both AMD and Intel are x86-64 they do both have their o…

    I'm running a hackintosh with a Ryzen 9 3900X. The OS itself runs great. The only thing to be aware of is whether your software will play nicely with a non-Intel CPU. Adobe softwar…

    Thing is, I'm not a Mac or iOS developer either, but I find that even if alternatives exist, they're rarely as polished as what's available for macOS. Consider Paste - Ditto exists…

    Indeed though keep in mind that the current method for running macOS on AMD doesn't use this and instead relies on patching through Clover. The downside being that whilst the OS it…

    To be fair the UK absolutely does have average speed checks on many of its motorways.

    To be fair I don't think it's just a propaganda tool - I think in the case of the terrorism threat levels at least they're ultimately used for justifying higher levels of funding. …
