Same fishtank screensaver as you might remember from the early 00s, in case you’re wondering.

Hardly surprising considering they barely gave two shits about WB Games at any point during the acquisition process.

Yeah, but not fully featured (yet). No sleep support is a big one, no 3D acceleration, no HDMI, no Mac Studio support.

I’m sure they’ll get there soon enough, but it’s not done yet.

I don’t think there’s a distro for running Linux on any recent iPhone, which is what this chip is for.

Asahi Linux is the leading distribution for Macs, but it’s a few generations behind with hardware support. M3 support is in the works but still experimental and not fully featured yet.

the fact that they were able to buy a device that they control and didn’t get configured as a child is the proof

That would just move the burden of age verification onto retailers.

Where does it say that? I checked the linked article and the product site and can’t see any mention of a subscription.

Doesn’t ESPN have exclusive broadcast rights for the next Super Bowl for the first time ever? How convenient that they’d raise their prices…

Honestly, some are better than others depending on priorities, but literally anything is a better option than Spotify on most fronts these days.

The first link I posted is for Guided Access.

I also mentioned hidden albums because that was the second thing the author requested in the blog post.

Literally both of these things already exist.

Android example already posted, but for iOS:

• Lock device to one app
• Hidden album in Photos

What’s with the editorialised title? How do these changes make it harder for new creators?

This, from Tabletop Simulator.

DLSS 5 looks horrendous but let’s not pretend gamers haven’t been able to reshade and mod the everloving shit out of games for decades. Saying it’s not a real game because someone decided they wanted to slap on a cel-shade filter or turn the art director’s carefully crafted dragon into Thomas the Tank Engine isn’t really a defensible position.

The problem I have with most of these services is that every channel is too hyper-specific, often literally just playing a single show or, at best, 2-3 shows but in multi-hour blocks. Incredibly lazy IMO.

To me, the appeal of linear terrestrial TV is having channels that show a wide variety of things throughout the day. If I wanted to see 24 hours of non-stop Mr. Bean I’d download them and shuffle the folder.

That would still work - asterisk isn’t a letter that can be accented, so the popup wouldn’t appear and the key would repeat as normal.

In typical Apple fashion, ‘that’s the neat part - it doesn’t’. If you want to be able to hold a letter to type it repeatedly, you have to disable the diacritics popup with a console command.

It’s the sort of stubborn ‘getting in my way’ feature that drives some people nuts when using a Mac, but in my experience it’s far more useful to be able to easily type accented characters than it is to be able to save half a second on the rare occasions I want to type ‘ooooooooooooooh’.

And yeah, if the popup is open you either hit the number displayed under the character you want or use the mouse to click on it.

On macOS you either use dead keys (option + backtick and then a letter will add a grave accent, like à) or just press and hold down the letter to get a little pop-up diacritics picker.

There’s a similar incentive to this Windows 11 one, but for macOS. Yikes.

Not sure why that warrants a yikes; macOS is far more usable than Windows 11. I’d go so far as to call it downright pleasant in comparison.

Sad to finally have it come to fruition, but anyone who didn’t see this coming hasn’t been paying attention. The writing’s been on the wall for physical games since XB1/PS4 era.
