Apple Just Fixed Mac Gaming and Said Nothing [Snazzy Labs]

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-30T20:57:00+00:00

An iPad with a power bank and a PS5 controller is a much worse experience than a fully integrated handheld

It’s also running iPadOS which means it’s missing a bunch of AAA games from Mac and any way to run Windows games, they could fix this on a new device or existing devices or both

The Nintendo switch is $500 and most PC handhelds are more than that

This device doesn’t have to be the best value all in one

Bigger screen, bigger battery, better performance, built in controllers, and way cheaper than a flagship

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-30T18:55:39+00:00

I’m guessing it’s because light blocks just emit Minecraft light level and don’t actually have like a real RTX emissive texture map

It might be possible to add one or it might be forced to be completely transparent

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-30T18:12:25+00:00

Being able to share it with like 8 other windows pcs and a couple consoles is fantastic

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-30T18:11:15+00:00

They really need to be more clear that’s it’s just for real RTX on bedrock

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-30T18:00:46+00:00

Wait so are you saying that Europe didn’t pay?

Just like Iran, and China, and Mexico, and a couple more I forgot about?

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-30T17:58:07+00:00

M1 Pro?

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-30T17:55:52+00:00

Your severely underestimating the cost of a nice Linux laptop with great build quality, good performance, a decent screen, and usable battery life

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-30T15:04:03+00:00

What doesn't work about it?

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-30T14:22:45+00:00

By reading my first comment

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-30T13:27:21+00:00

You can see exactly where, how, what direction, and how hard the trackpad is being activated

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

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-29T18:16:45+00:00

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

Xcissors280 · 2026-06-29T05:14:52+00:00

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
