    Avelon is broken when button labels are enabled. I hope it gets fixed soon.

    So, do humans stink?
  • Just like how everyone has an accent. (Especially the people who think they don’t.)

    (Edited to add context) Paywalling features most other apps have for free isn't a great look
  • The platform is tiny and has hardly any users. This is when apps need more financial support, not less.

  • Apollo Ultra Lifetime was $A38.99 when I bought it 4 years ago. When was it $US5?

  • The risk is that you’ll be out $30. It’s not a huge risk.

    OpenCore Legacy Patcher project brings macOS Sonoma support to 16-year-old Macs
  • Such a disingenuous headline. The article outlines how pre-2012 Mac can’t support Metal, which breaks a bunch of stuff.

    An aside: A few years ago, I used OCLP to install Monterey on my old (Early 2013) MacBook Pro 13”. It was fine, until one day it just stopped booting. It wasn’t hardware: Wiped it, reinstalled Catalina, still worked fine. It’s a fun toy to play with, but I wouldn’t want to be depending on it for anything important.

    iPhone 15 incompatible with portable charger?
  • This doesn't really help, but it's not just you.

    Edit: Oh, wait, this article is specifically about USB-C chargers. Still odd yours isn't working with USB-A!

    Need Suggestions: MacBook or Windows Laptop?
  • Sure, but the gaming situation is no worse than before the Apple silicon switch. You mentioned a reduced software library, but Rosetta 2 can run pretty much any Intel-only app at speeds comparable (or faster) to the last-gen of Intel Macs. This isn’t like the transition in 2005!

    Besides, we’re three years into the switch, almost all non-game apps are Universal now.

  • A Mac is never going to be the greatest gaming machine, but an M-series MacBook is still preferable to an Intel one. For instance, Civ VI via Rosetta runs better on my M1 MacBook Pro than it did on my previous i7.

    I hate using mobile to read articles
  • Safari on iOS supports extensions. Chrome on Android does not. But hey, keep telling yourself that Google are better than Apple at this.

  • No crying required, you can use something like NextDNS for DNS level ad blocking on iOS, and there are plenty of Safari extensions to help with this stuff.

    I use 1Blocker for ads, Hush to block cookie notices, and Unobstruct to remove persistent overlays as needed. While we're at it, Noir adds dark mode support to every webpage, StopTheMadness prevents websites doing hostile things (such as preventing copy and paste), and PiPifier makes every web video support picture in picture mode.
