Part of this is Apple’s fault. They were part of the head council of the Kronos group responsible for Vulkan, but chose to implement a proprietary graphics API (Metal) over just rolling Vulkan… Developers obviously don’t want to support an additional graphics library on top of what they already do (significant effort) so you lose a lot of games that would’ve been otherwise marginally expensive to port over.
You know, almost every phone still has an ir blaster… It’s just not made Available to you.
(Auto focusing in cameras is largely done via an ir blaster and corrisponding receiver)
How I imagine you responding to your singular downvoter:
And a pickup of gains from sending just the delta of changed data for one of their passive update beacons.
A pre-registered checksum will ensure that the downloaded file is what it says it is before running. So yes, it is safe. Unless you’ve found a collision in the checksum algorithm apple is using, although the chances are better that you’ll squeeze water out of dry desert sand.
(Edit: To those thinking they’ll rely on just code signing for this, you’re likely way off base.)
Cloudflare is amazing , until it’s not. Chances are you’ll fall within the 95% that have a great time, but if for some reason you draw the ire of sales, engineering, or a system bug you’re gonna have a bad time.
Thanks for the psa op
I once bought an Intel processor off of ebay for a similar "great, but not too great to be a scam " price. The seller shipped “it” and provided the tracking code with a delivery date to my municipality. When it finally read as delivered I checked my porch and sure enough, nothing. So I reach out to usps the shipping provider with the tracking info. Turns out this seller didn’t even send it to my address, but a random po box in my city. I called ebay with this information (as well as the identical complaints of the exact same experience from several other people who bought from this seller who’d dropped negative reviews in the past week. No big deal, clearly a hacked account used for a scam, right?). Well, ebay told me that despite them not using my shipping address, provably (I had the usps rep who was kind enough put that in writing), and despite the other negative reviews with the same experience, they’d not be giving me a refund since the product was shipped. It took days of arguing over the phone with them, them threatening to close my (in good standing since I’d bought things here and there) account, and them closing my case unresolved for me to just file a charge back with my credit card provider. This caused my account to be closed (losing access to all previous order receipts/etc) and is coincidentally the day I decided I’d never do business with Ebay again and provide my honest feedback on this experience to anyone considering purchasing from them in the future.
Dollar dollar bills, ya’ll.
+1 for namecheap. They’ve been reliable and fair to me for years.

You’ve also dramatically lowered the dpi and introduced untold screen artifacting! The death knell that came for cardboard as well.
Any poor quality connector can affect a sector scan and drive performance. Doesn’t matter if it’s connected to a corroded usb port or a bent internal sata, at the end of the day if you’re getting disk errors it’s best to measure using two methodologies/data pathways.
Most UPS systems of quality will come with software capabilities. You can leverage this and just use a daemon to check the charge status every minute or so. If it’s ever off AC or reporting charge levels lowering, you can toss the system into a low power profile. This might accomplish what you’re trying to do.
Lol not sure why people are giving you shit! It’s clearly organized, although perhaps not how some people would personally like it. Glad you’re having fun with it!
Lol your yuck is always going to be someone’s yum and vice versa, so careful where you throw that disgusting word around, it’ll come back to you eventually.
I’d recommend against it. Apple’s software ecosystem isn’t as friendly for self hosting anything, storage is difficult to add, ram impossible, and you’ll be beholden to macOS running things inside containers until the good folks at Asahi or some other coummity startup add partial linux support.
And yes, I’ve tried this route. I ran an m1 mac mini as a home server for a while (running jellyfin and some other containers). It pretty consistently ran into software bugs (less maintained than x64 software) and every time I wanted to do an update instead of sudo whateveryourdistroships update, and a reboot, it was an entire process involving an apple account, logging into the bare metal device, and then finally running their 15-60 minute long update. Perfectly fine and acceptable for home computing, but not exactly a good experience when you’re hosting a service.
