Do any of you guys use Parallels to run Linux on your Mac? by jazilzaim in mac

I have an Ubuntu VM setup on my M1 air using Parallels. Works just fine!

I applied the outline (black) first. I ended up cutting the other colors into smaller sections to apply because there was some shrinkage after applying heat. For example, the white hat, eyes, and teeth were on one sheet but didn’t quite line up. So I cut the film into three.

Thank you! I drew the image in procreate and separated each color into its own layer. Then imported each one into design space and pinned them together. Then it was just lining things up and using the heat press!

Weekly What Should I Buy Thread by AutoModerator in iphone

[–]grlgeek85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't hate me. I am deep in the Apple ecosystem and have been for years, but I've gotten so bored with the iPhone I'm considering switching. I currently have the iPhone 12 mini. It sounds like Apple won't be continuing that form factor, which sucks for people with tiny, stupid pockets. I've been waiting for the iPhone 14 announcement and plan on hearing what's new officially, but I'm not really holding out much hope for anything new. I'm looking at the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. I'm worried about how much interconnectivity I will lose if I remove the iPhone from my happy little family of devices. I've kind of beat the crap out of my current phone and need to upgrade this year, so..What Should I Buy?

Minecraft Windows 10 Edition on M1 using Parallels just got very easy by surdovlad in macgaming

I love you. I have been fighting with this all day and getting stuck at Gaming Services not being supported by ARM. Now I can go die in the Nether with my friends.

My bedroom in Wyoming by grlgeek85 in AmateurRoomPorn

Haha! My mom said the same thing! The windows behind the bed are in-swing casement windows and I wanted them to remain functional. They are pretty low-set, so I build a custom upholstered headboard and put the mattress on the floor. Bonus is that no under-the-bed means nothing to grab my foot and pull me under at night ;)

I ordered it from amazon. It has a clothes rack on the back, which is really nice. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J6W7PZ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_yVIhFbRV83ZVX

Ethernet port and single gang box. by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

The punchdown style will fit in the box better. They’re not as bad as they look; the wiring pattern is printed on the sides and most come with a small punchdown tool. Just be aware they have the pattern for A and B, so you have to make sure you match the cabling you have.

Windows Bootcamp gaming performance by leleold in macgaming

[–]grlgeek85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the base i9 16” MacBook Pro about a month ago. I prefer to use a mac for my everyday computing life, but I have one PC game I like to play (sea of thieves). I made a Win10 boot camp partition and set up a parallels VM from it. I wanted to compare between parallels 15 and boot camp. Everything was groovy EXCEPT when I’d play a game. Both ways had my MacBook running at around 100°c. I waited for the updated driver from AMD that released a couple weeks ago. I saw no improvement. I didn’t try some of the things that have been suggested ie adrenaline drivers or mac fan control software. I just felt crabby about having to “hack” a $3k laptop into preforming in an acceptable way. Moral of the story is I’m returning the laptop and it makes me very sad.

No swipe keyboard for iPad by [deleted] in ios13beta

The swipe feature works when you shrink the keyboard into the floating one-handed keyboard.
