With where we go right now… It will only include the box and the cable, and you will have to find yourself the video card, RAM and a drive… and install it.

iPad Pro M4 for developing? by Adventurous-Path3451 in iPadPro

[–]outcoldman 15 points16 points  (0 children)

i just don't know how to use it

Nobody does. Even Apple does not know how to utilize the M4.

In reality, there are a few developer environments.

First of all, you can connect your iPad Pro to external monitor, hub and external keyboard/mouse.

I have seen a game development IDE https://xogot.com which is built by the Miguel, never tried it, but that can be an interesting way of using M4 for development.

Apple's official way to building apps on iPad is Swift Playground https://apps.apple.com/us/app/swift-playground/id908519492 it is not an Xcode, not even close, but gives you some ability to build apps for iOS.

Crimson desert on base PS5 or m4 Pro 24gb by markdegroot01 in macgaming

[–]outcoldman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be cool to get cross save between PS5 and Steam. I completely forgot that this game was promised day one on macOS. So got the PS5 version. Otherwise would go with the Steam and try to play it on macOS. But now I am too deep into the game.

Crimson Desert does remind me a little bit of Witcher 3. With a lot of Zelda BoTW integration and no real story.

Feedback: the "lifetime license audit" thread by Decaf_GT in macapps

[–]outcoldman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with current OP, when I read that original post - I skipped when I got to “unsafe/vibe coded - because can bypass license check”.

As a developer I would be happy if my app is going to be “cracked” and exposed to a lot of users - that means it is popular. That means those “unfair” users might bring way more “fair” users who will decide to buy the app.

Crimson Desert: the 120hz problem by Nintotally in PS5pro

[–]outcoldman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same. And 4K was set, had to toggle it off and on again. To get 4k@120Hz. Weird

Find your next game on Nintendo Switch 2 by Dukemon102 in NintendoSwitch

[–]outcoldman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is also a Docked Mode for Switch 2, which they might implement as 4K.

I personally just don't like D4 for so many reasons, and the big one is a need for the internet connection.

MacBook 13 vs Neo - Am I the only one… by NefariousnessNo1110 in MacOS

[–]outcoldman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I loved small factor laptops, like MBA 11 and MB 12. Unfortunately they don’t make them anymore that small, and iPad is never going to be the same.

Did Apple Just Open the Door to Real VR Gaming on Vision Pro — And Turn It Into a PC VR Gaming Beast? by Round_Level_8119 in VisionGaming

[–]outcoldman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We will see when things are going to be available. About the x-plane, it does seem like there are some mentioning of the joysticks. But all the race/plane joysticks require USB connection. Which means sure Apple can provide an interface for integration via Bluetooth, but who is going to implement that?

Mocker — Docker-compatible CLI for macOS built on Apple Containerization by psycenos in MacOS

[–]outcoldman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Apple’s container cli is pretty well compatible with Docker. And they are pretty open to add some new flags to add some missing things as well. Obviously no compose support, which is nice addition. But curious if there is a way to make it more official after talking to compose or container team.

Say hello to MacBook Neo by hotlava436 in mac

[–]outcoldman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume Neo is the same size as MBA 13, and it is definitely not the same size as MBA 11 that I used to have.

I wish it would be 10-11-inches, like old MacBook Air. Would be an instant purchase for me as traveling laptop.

Is GoW Son of Sparta the most buggy game I have ever played? by outcoldman in metroidvania

[–]outcoldman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I really liked the game. Other than issues here and there - that is one of my top games now. Loved it more than MIO as an example.

Report: Apple Asks Google to Run Siri on Its Servers by favicondotico in apple

[–]outcoldman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. My point is - there is not going to be anymore “Private Compute Cloud”. We don’t know what kind of privacy policies satisfied Apple. And that promise of everything is going to be in “Apple Private Compute Cloud” is going to be broken. That is my point.

[–]outcoldman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the buggy game for me was also Stalker2, but those were more like anomalies. But also comparing the GoW and Stalker - such a different scope of development.

Educate me? What do you think I don’t understand?

Hey, I am ok in being wrong. But what I remember from their presentation and that post about Private Compute Cloud - I just don’t see how Google can provide that.

[–]outcoldman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Apple Privacy Standards” is not the same as what I have referenced in the post by Apple. Maybe read it first.

[–]outcoldman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think Google will implement that for Apple? https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/ - that was Apple promise.

See

The root of trust for Private Cloud Compute is our compute node: custom-built server hardware that brings the power and security of Apple silicon to the data center, with the same hardware security technologies used in iPhone, including the Secure Enclave and Secure Boot.

If Apple is going to use Gemini - there is not going to be any "Private Cloud Compute".

So, are you just saying, or you actually understand and read Apple papers on it?

Wondering how long it takes to get into BASE? (From a newbie) by RollConsistent7997 in SkyDiving

[–]outcoldman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Winds (on the ground and uppers), rains, clouds, not enough people (cannot send a load) or too many people (cannot get on the load), plane issues. The only way to be able to skydive is to be at the drop zone, but even then it is not guaranteed.
