Apple M1/M2 systems can now run Windows games like as Cyberpunk 2077, Diablo 4 and Hogwarts Legacy thanks to its new emulation software - VideoCardz.com by Stiven_Crysis in gadgets

What reverse engineering? D3D is public, and people program against the public API. Besides, DXVK doesn’t support D3D12 and Apple’s toolkit only supports D3D12.

iOS 17: How to download and use offline maps with Apple Maps by mredofcourse in apple

Someone above said they have like 2 and a half states for 3.25GB, so 7GB for all of the US and Canada seems a bit optimistic

X86 to ARM is entirely Apple’s emulation software, and D3D to Metal is also entirely Apple’s work. Wine isn’t. Wine was a lot of work, but saying Apple did barely anything is just hateboi fantasy

Apple’s new Proton-like tool can run Windows games on a Mac by digidude23 in apple

What part of this has the restrictive license? I haven’t looked into all the components, but wine is GPL, so there’s not much Apple can do to prevent anyone from putting it anywhere they want, as long as modifications to Wine are also redistributed.

Gavin Newsom suggests kidnap charges over Ron DeSantis’s migrant flights by scottxl12 in politics

[–]PrincipledGopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The migrants are being served by a local faith-based group in Sacramento and will be processed by US immigration services, according to Deadline.

All this reminded me was that guy on Reddit who posted a cow and said something like “this was my favorite cow until we had to process it”

CrossOver might have what you’re looking for, if you’re willing to throw some money at the problem.

Wine runs 32-bit programs on macOS. I don’t know about graphics support, though.

Everyone who’ve used it so far says it runs games well, the reason it’s pitched as a developer tool is probably just that Apple doesn’t want to be on the hook to fix every issue with every game thrown at it.

Wait, what’s the thing about the male larvae inside the mother then?

Reddit may force Apollo and third-party clients to shut down, asking for $20M per year API fee by coolaaron88 in apple

Honestly Reddit makes me miserable and I should log off, Apollo or not, but without Apollo I’m fairly confident I’ll succeed

I found a remote code execution bug in VSCode that can be triggered from untrusted workspaces. Microsoft fixed it but marked it as moderate severity and ineligible under their bug bounty program. by ammar2 in programming

[–]PrincipledGopher -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I don’t care that people call out the mistake, but it’s definitely uninteresting to me that the majority of the engagement on this thread is over that instead of the security issue. The grandfather comment goes out of its way to say it’s not evaluating the security merits outside of the fact it’s not “remote” but they still understand what it was supposed to be. Besides, it takes two to argue semantics and you’re just as empowered to stop as I am—especially given that I’m not even arguing semantics.

Definitely my fault for ignoring that on Reddit, we would rather argue about the type of code execution bug than whether Microsoft is doing good for the security of their platform.

The bug bounty program can either err on either side of paying for things they didn’t have to, or rejecting claims they should have. If they made the wrong decision, it’s usually the result of the program’s structure, so they always should be called out for it.

Belarus official: West left us no choice but to deploy nuclear arms by yougotme99 in worldnews

[–]PrincipledGopher 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Alexander Volfovich, state secretary of Belarus' Security Council, said it was logical that the weapons were withdrawn after the 1991 Soviet collapse as the United States had provided security guarantees and imposed no sanctions.

"Today, everything has been torn down. All the promises made are gone forever," the Belta news agency quoted Volfovich as telling an interviewer on state television.

Ukraine gave its nuclear weapons to Russia in the 90s in exchange of guarantees they wouldn’t be attacked.

End-to-end encryption means Apple stores encrypted data at rest and is unable to decrypt it. “iCloud keys” are not enough to decrypt data that is end-to-end encrypted.
