Mac 晶片全面轉向 Apple Silicon 架構，什麼時候會終止支援 Intel 處理器？

  蘋果公司在 2020 年開始將 Mac 電腦的處理器晶片換成 Apple Silicon架構的 M 系列晶片，並在 2023 年完成過渡轉型，所有 Mac 新機均搭載 Apple M 系列晶片。自此之後，蘋果也將逐漸減少支援搭載 Intel 晶片的 Mac，但是支援時間還有多久呢？這問題肯定是 Intel Mac 使用者最想知道的。 Continue reading Mac 晶片全面轉向 Apple Silicon 架構，什麼時候會終止支援 Intel 處理器？

It seems that Zorin OS 17 finally fixed compatibility issues with a third-party Cirrus Audio driver that caused certain MacBook models to have no audio, so now my mid-2017 MacBook Pro 13-inch can have a modern, updating, OS that gets new features and active development.

Apple sold this laptop, new, until 2019 (which is when I bought mine, none-the-wiser), and they discontinued support in 2023 with the release of macOS Sonoma 14. I'll be damned if I let a 4-year-old laptop get turned into eWaste, though.

I had previously wiped the SSD and installed Windows 11 because of the aforementioned issues with the audio drivers. Now that I can have audio, though, this computer lives on as Linux machine, as it's 2011 15-inch counterpart does.

OS updates aren't what they used to be--which may be boring but is probably okay

I hope this post doesn't result in my having any early-adopter privileges revoked.

Procastination comes easy to me, but that usually hasn’t held up installing major operating-system updates. I typically download new mobile-OS editions within a few days of their release, while I’ve waited maybe two weeks for desktop releases despite their greater complexity and higher odds of breaking one app or another. But this season of OS updates from Apple and Google has seen me much…

SAILOR ALICE: Alice at Sea 🛟⚔️ 【Open Beta】

Public Open Beta— from now until August 18th! (v. 1.b.2.2) For Windows and MacOS

An indie RPG Maker game about an elf and the climate crisis.

Check it out on itch.io!

“Sailor Alice: Alice at Sea is a nautical fantasy adventure made in RPG MAKER MZ. The story follows the shut-in elf Lilibet, after she sends off her apprentice to become the hero that saves the princess. Shortly after her student's departure however, the innocent request of a red skinned foreigner sets in motion a series of events. Something's . . . not right about the sea, is it . . . ?

In 200 years, the world's atmosphere will collapse. Bringing disasters such as extreme weather, this is known as the "mana crisis." An environmentalist of 2,000 years, Lilibet has long abandoned her hope. If she can recover all her memories, perhaps she'll find a person who's still fighting. A "hero."

Part of the game's purpose is to raise awareness to the climate crisis it parallels. Lilibet's world might be set to end in 200 years, but parts of East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia (the region the game's archipelago is based on) will become uninhabitable within the next 20 years.”

Hi, I’m a 17 year old Filipino American digital illustrator and UTAU developer! Recently I wanted to take a swing at game dev, so I’ve been working on my first game, SAILOR ALICE: Alice at Sea! With my age and the threat to my motherland, I’ve been pretty worried about climate change ^^u. It’s a short light-hearted 3 hour game with 6 chapters, and in those three hours, the player gets to spend time completing side-quests and talking to NPCs to build MEMORIA FLOTSAM. The 3rd ending can only be unlocked on a second playthrough.

It’s currently not in a stable state, and is still meant to be at a stage in development where I can still make some large changes. I would really love to hear people’s thoughts, feedback, and ideas on the writing/narrative/characters/etc. The stable version will launch before August 31st as a submission to SuNoFes 2024.

Any reblogs and support is highly appreciated….!! 🛟⚔️

I hope every single person who is responsible for implementing the three-finger swipe gesture for opening the app overview on Zorin OS 17 gets the best fucking head of their entire fucking lives. The way it just works, and the animations are so flawlessly implemented. It was truly one of the things I missed most from using macOS on a MacBook. I never thought they'd add it, and I never thought a Linux distro could implement it just as well, if not better than, Apple, but here we are. 10/10. Zero notes.
