What is a hard drive registry? Or: a properly managed Mac can’t be bricked by a user 🤷🏻

TestFlight is for testing the app, not getting the paid features for free.

Like this?

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

Cool. Don’t subscribe and use Avelon without the pro features, or use something else.

You can post without paying, and if you use Lemmy enough that you need to filter or find the lack of jump button annoying… $3/month isn’t unreasonable. If the best Lemmy client on iOS isn’t worth that to you, there are other options.

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.

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.

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!

It’s not a feature, but it’s by design.

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.
