The rumor is that #apple is going to have some #AI chips in their m4 processors.

This will be cool to see, but completely useless if more ram is not available.

An #LLM works pretty well on my wife's #M1 Air with 8gb ram, but it almost completely locks the system while processing.

For the cost of upgrading the ram on a #mac, I can just buy a #3090 and run AI stuff remotely from any device.

Fortinet has revealed vulnerabilities in its FortiOS, FortiProxy, FortiClient Linux, and FortiClient Mac products, including a critical one that could allow remote code execution. This critical flaw, identified as CVE-2023-45590, has a high severity score and could enable an attacker to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a malicious website. Other high-severity issues affect FortiOS and FortiProxy, where credentials are not adequately protected. A specific flaw (CVE-2023-41677) might allow an attacker to steal the administrator cookie under certain conditions. Additionally, FortiClientMac has vulnerabilities due to a lack of configuration file validation. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued an advisory warning about the potential for cyber threat actors to exploit these vulnerabilities.

I'm going to lose my mind. I regret updating. I knew it was a troubling release. Even macOS 14.5 seems bad.

I can't tell if Apple changed some AVFoundation things, but stuff isn't "just working" anymore. 🤔

Fellow Blenderheads, if you'd like to have a go at SDF modeling, a new add-on is calling for beta testers. According to the add-on developer, it works in Blender for macOS as well. 👍

There are good people still making for profit software. Rogue Amoeba apps are top notch and have been for years. I find their tools essential for my audio needs. Mac only, which I’m sure people will bitch about but there was a time where it was the norm on a Mac to have great small company apps that were Mac only. #RogueAmoeba #apple #Mac #rogueamoebasoftware

I was Today Many Years Old when I learned that typing Option-Space with a file selected in finder did a full screen preview, not just a preview (like Space does).

An excellent indie ( Thanks @jake4480 ) that runs on current machines (Windows, Linux, MacOS, & HTML5). Frankly, very good! Good surprise! I would have liked it to be compatible with older machines, but no. Two quality PDF manuals. On my list of favorite Roguelikes! If you like this kind of game: recommended! :0)

The first part..

I wish there was a portable, usb-run version of for Silicon Macs. More people would try it out and actually use it that way, if it was easy and risk-free to their partition. The current way to do that is two whole pages of arcane commands on a terminal. It needs automation.

A Windows user, a Mac user, and a Linux user walk into a bar.

➡️ The #Windows user orders a beer and gets into a fight over how bloated the selection is.

➡️ The #Mac user orders the most expensive single-origin craft cocktail and smugly admires its minimalist design.

➡️ The #Linux user installs a whole brewery in the corner and declares free drinks for everyone, but then spends the rest of the night explaining why their homemade brew is objectively superior.

I decided to try out Reeder 5 after years of NetNewsWire. I’ve been curious to try a new rss reader.

I’m looking to start fresh with a good opml rss file. I’m looking for mostly tech news and personal blogs.

Anyone have a great file to share?

Decided I should install #Linux on my laptop and then failed.

Something like this:

  1. Work out what distro of Linux I should install? Idk. Maybe @Solus? 🤷

  2. Work out what the differences are between Budgie, GNOME, Plasma, or XKGB versions? Idk. Probably Budgie? 🤷

  3. Download via torrent 😎

  4. Spend 15 mins trying to work out what the app for making disk images is called. Etcher? Got it.

  5. Realise I don't have a USB flash drive in the house. Or a blank DVD. Or an SD card reader.

🤷

It's 2024. Surely there should be a #Windows or #Mac app like Etcher that partitions 5GB of your existing hard drive off and then downloads and installs the #Linux distro disk image of your choosing as a bootable thing and then asks if you want to restart your computer (and reminds you to press F2 or whatever crap you need to press on a Mac to boot from your shiny new 5GB wasteland)

Love the look of this Commodore 64 inspired keyboard. The only gripe I have? There are no PETSCII characters on the keys. #Commodore64 #8bitdo #omgubuntu

@DirtyDean @retrogaming_bot It’s just a new colorway of #8BitDo’s #NES / #Famicom inspired “Retro Mechanical Keyboard,” plus a joystick: https://www.8bitdo.com/retro-mechanical-keyboard/

The Fami Edition has Japanese glyphs next to Latin, so the omission of PETSCII graphic glyphs on the #C64 Edition is just lazy. So is the “Win” key without a #Commodore logo.

I’d need a #Mac version of the software along with Fn, Command ⌘, Option ⌥︎, and Return key caps to consider it anyway.

"Infinite Mac" is a project by Mihai Parparita to make classic Mac and NeXT emulation easily accessible.

Enjoy the nostalgia by playing old games like Doom, SimCity2000, and Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness.
