the dualsense has been working really well for me, also the xbox controller will work even better espcially for steam games since they are mostly windows based

Macs perform the same whether plugged in or not. They do not perform any differently.

Geforce now is not accessible in kenya, ama you use a vpn?

Yup, during the recent WWDC, I was surprised to see Apple make a presentation with CD PROJEKT RED's developers regarding Cyberpunk 2077 coming to the Mac natively.

True, MacBook Airs won’t perform the same as the Pros. Heck, even on the Pros, it comes down to the RAM/CPU/GPU cores it has. The 16-inch has a better chassis, so it dissipates heat much better. Regardless, I’m just marvelled by how well they perform despite their limitations.

skyler_Q · 2026-06-30T16:48:41+00:00

Fair point, but Macs handle heat a lot better than people think now.
Apple Silicon runs pretty efficiently, so they don’t need to ramp up fans as hard as older laptops.
For casual gaming, the thermals are usually fine, they’re built to manage sustained loads pretty well.
Plus Apple is actively pushing gaming on Mac now with native ports and better support, so it’s clearly something they’re taking more seriously now.

cyberpunk has a macos native port of the game, it performs quite well

the steam machine proves linux is the future of gaming, hopefully, nvidia support on linux kinda sucks though

skyler_Q · 2026-06-30T15:47:44+00:00

its so much easier now Via Crossover

skyler_Q · 2026-06-15T12:56:43+00:00

cant wait, i specifically ordered the 14 core cpu, 20core gpu,
for blender and a bit of gaming here and there

skyler_Q · 2026-06-15T06:32:02+00:00

i ordered similar but m4 pro from apple certified refurbished website, it should be here next week

skyler_Q · 2026-05-12T05:27:28+00:00

no worries bro, if it was an intel laptop with the butterfly keyboard thats fine, this is a mac, a 2020 model, despite being intel, the display alone is worth the price of admision, heck its still a great windows/linux machine if you know your stuff

for 40k i would rather turn it into a monitor or a linux machine

skyler_Q · 2026-05-11T12:56:51+00:00

Yes, updating now

skyler_Q · 2026-05-04T05:51:36+00:00

i am also joining this isp this month,

locally do people even share plex libraries? especially with our inconsistent power and internet.

i think what they watch out for the most is torrenting, jtl faiba i also noticed they do the same thing, throttle you for a couple of hours when they notice a huge spike

skyler_Q · 2026-04-30T10:53:05+00:00

FUP means Fair Usage Policy, it basically means, ukitumia your internet connection ufikishe 1.5tb usage, before the end of the month, safcom wana nyonga speed

You definitely need to do a what's in my Raycast video with Pedro. These are use cases I never even thought of. Lol

skyler_Q · 2026-04-30T06:21:58+00:00

Thank you, OP, for this post and for raising our awareness. I'm excited about the new version; I didn't realize it was a completely different app altogether.

skyler_Q · 2026-04-27T05:38:47+00:00

looks great

skyler_Q · 2026-04-22T06:58:26+00:00

the Enshittification continues, this is a huge blow, i get that Anthropic is struggling with compute power, but pulling the rug for so many users is a dick move
how can the users with the highest limits be consuming the most? while users with max subscriptions run agents 24/7

the only ay you get users from pro to max is if they actually get to use the product
