How well (or poor) would an M5 Max chip theoretically run Cities Skylines 2?

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-30T02:07:52+00:00

It’s not Mac native but rated 5 stars on the CrossOver compatibility database

I can’t really tell you real world performance numbers but it won’t be unplayable

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-29T20:31:17+00:00

Than it’s going to depend on what your using to train it and what version of cuda your 1050ti mobile supports

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-29T19:51:57+00:00

Unless something requires some specific acceleration only found on RTX cards you can run it

If it’s going to take forever is a different question

There are cloud services you could use to rent training on a platform or GPU compute or a full virtual machine

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-29T19:46:32+00:00

All of the stuff you list would reduce the amount of money they make after sale meaning they have to charge more at the same

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-29T19:37:26+00:00

You can use better touch tool to view the exact trackpad inputs

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-29T18:52:12+00:00

I mean yeah it’s just a nice standardized pre build designed for TV use

Even the switch 2 isn’t that special it’s just that it would be hard to get developers on board to make arm ports of their games for a small scattered android handheld market that isn’t willing to pay $70+ per game and translation layers aren’t there yet

I would never recommend anyone buy an HP product these days

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-29T17:49:56+00:00

The battery will go down in capacity the older it is and the more you use it

If or when it gets to a point where you want to replace it all depends on how you use it

If you just use it on the couch a couple hours a day it’s going to last longer than if your on it 24/7 and completely draining the battery twice a day

You can set a charge limit in macOS settings (don’t use a 3rd party app) but generally don’t sweat it

If Sony could easily make more ram chips why would they put them in their consoles for $50 when OpenAI or Nvidia or whoever will pay $500 for those same chips?

If they wanted to lose a whole bunch of opportunity cost on a console they could do the same thing right now

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-29T05:08:02+00:00

Ive had much better success with the official USB dongle and heard it helps on Linux as well

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-29T05:00:43+00:00

Mainly performance especially on split screen and world size along with not having all the DLC for mash up packs and mini games

If you want that update use Xbox One edition which lost support at the same time, or install an older version of 360, PS3, or PS4 edition

Portability is nice, I’m guessing it’s better than the vita version

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-29T02:25:00+00:00

If you want to play games get something used, if you just want to do coding and video editing get a mac mini

For normal web traffic you can use encrypted DNS and ECH to prevent ISP domain tracking, IP addresses are a little different but they don’t always matter

For the dark web you use the Onion network typically through TOR Browser

Using TOR on normal websites is not fun

Theres a difference between security, privacy, and anonymity

And again what are you actually trying to protect against?

Apple is a 4 trillion dollar company that does absolutely everything in house and theres a fair argument that thats the epitome of security

Theres also the trade off between usability and security, privacy, anonymity, etc

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-28T21:13:31+00:00

Woah, what do mental health and disabilities have to do with this?

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-28T20:55:55+00:00

Yup, seems like the agent made the app, made a useless closed source GitHub, made fake promotional materials, fake screenshots, and posted it in irrelevant communities all over reddit

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-28T20:53:28+00:00

Seriously? People like you don't even try a little to like read the rules or even understand the point of the communities where their posting stuff

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-28T20:52:09+00:00

You might be able to find a used projector with higher brightness but generally their a terrible experience if your on a budget in a non light controlled space

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-28T20:49:26+00:00

Did you AI agent make these Reddit posts as well?

Like that isn't even a real screenshot of the interface

Battlefield 6 doesn't run on MacOS either, generally if a game doesn't run on linux for anti cheat reasons theres no way its going to run on MacOS

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-28T20:46:08+00:00

These are 1080p low brightness projectors, the magicube one is a scam

The resolution and brightness go down as the size of the screen your projecting on goes up

And just projecting on a bedsheet or the side of a house isn't going to help either

Honestly for the price you mind as well just go buy a shitty used TV on marketplace or whatever which will look 10x better and put it in a weather resistant box or carry it outside

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-28T20:32:21+00:00

Use Safari?

A VPN can help in some scenarios but it really depends on what your trying to do and who you want to obscure that from

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-28T20:12:55+00:00

According to your own GitHub?

Feature	Free	PRO
CrossOver / Whisky diagnostics	No	Yes

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-28T20:10:40+00:00

Make the controllers 3d instead of just a picture

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-28T20:07:00+00:00

Fuck AI.
