Heck, my 2020 M1 Mac Mini also does all that stuff as fast as my MBP, which is impressive for a computer that cost less than 1/3 the price (keyboard and screen not included). Read more
Apple does not care about gaming, it never has. They took ages to realize that the iPhone was the most popular portable gaming device and use it in marketing, they aren’t targeting gamers in their designs. Game studios don’t target macs because they use a completely different api from windows and console games (Metal… Read more
The bottleneck for Mac gaming isn’t hardware capability, it’s market share. There aren’t enough gamers with Macs to make developing/porting for them worthwhile.

Once you prevent the light from reaching the sensor - by whatever means for whatever reason - you’ve compromised the picture and are having to invent information (with algorithms) that simply isn’t there. Read more
Since this is doable now - why doesn’t anybody put the hidden camera more in the middle of the screen so that when you’re video chatting with someone, it feels more like you’re making eye contact? Read more
Actually might grab some. I’m a chronic nail biter that enjoys playing some classical guitar. Conductive gloves get sweaty and are cumbersome when typing and finger cots get gross and sweaty. Only really need thumb through ring on my right, so this could be great and is totally not a ploy for you to recommend me… Read more
