I keep pondering grabbing one of those on the cheap and getting one of those kits that turns it into a really nice 27” monitor.

I still use a 2011 MacBook Pro. It’s running Linux Mint now and hasn’t been my primary laptop for a couple of years now, but it’s still a solid machine. In fact, as is the norm with Apple stuff, it lost OS support long before it stopped being a viable laptop.

Fortunately, Opencore Legacy Patcher exists…

AFAIK, Whisky includes the GPTK.

I've spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get Windows-only games running through Whisky on my M2 Air. My wife doesn't understand why when her old gaming PC is sitting there for me to use. But for me it's less about actually playing the games and more about the fun of getting them to work.

Yes, my friend, I did see.

Prove it.

The hero we deserve.

MrFilmKritic on Twitter has the answer for you.

Oh yeah, I agree. I really only chose Samsung because they’re one of the very few companies with the same kind of market presence as Apple.

As someone who has recently begun dipping in to Linux and trying to figure it all out, I agree with this.

I feel like if Samsung or someone embraced Linux in the way Apple have macOS, it could very easily become a serious contender to Windows. But I guess no one could trust Samsung to not fuck it all up and make it a proprietary fork that would end up having nothing to do with Linux.

My wife just got the exact same pop up while playing God of War: Ragnarok. Weirdly though, she’d been playing it for a week before they sent this.

Our family’s first proper PC back in around ‘93 had a 1gb HDD. I remember strutting about at school like I was the top shit because of how great my computer was.

These days I have a modded iPod mini with 128gb that I’m getting close to needing to increase because of my love of 320kbps MP4 files.

Here in the UK you can buy booze more or less anywhere that you can buy food. Almost any supermarket or corner shop will supply you what you want.

But what if some change in the right direction doesn't fix everything immediately? Then what?

May as well just not bother.

Yeah, the app is batshit and has got much weirder over the past year or so. It's now rammed full of competitions and ways to waste your time trying to get discounts that you'll never actually achieve.

There's also some really odd stuff on offer on there, which I kind of enjoy finding.

I know it’s only fractionally better, but I’ve started using AliExpress more for shit that I’d buy on Amazon in the past. Delivery takes a couple of weeks, but that’s had the added bonus of making think about how much I really need the thing I’m ordering.

But yeah, we canceled Prime when they added adverts. We didn’t really watch much on there, but it gave us the bump we needed to stop giving Amazon £10 a month, even if we didn’t order anything.

I say!

Trouble is, companies with shareholders have to chase the profits, and they have to protect them at all costs, which leads to a situation where the AAA companies feel like they have to lock their shit down tight. And that ain't compatible with 100% of their markets.

It's become an arms race because they can't just accept that people will pirate their games regardless of what they put in place. But the more they put in place, the more likely people are to want to pirate.

And wanting a bit of coastline to funnel Middle Eastern oil out.

Brit here. I’ve never donated to a political campaign in my life. I’m not even sure how I would.
