I was worried. I thought what kind of moron using mac would even think about Windows, or ever want to? Like being a super health freak and wondering "whew can I grab a triple decker with bacon?".

 

[FelixDeCat]

Oh yeah? I bet they dont support Linux!

Just thought I'll bump this so new people would be aware of it.

IPhones will be USB-C from now on.

I do thank Gizmo for giving me the opportunity to post this in OT and not the "proper forum". hehehe

My buddy recently got a Steam Deck, it's a really cool concept & works surprisingly well!

Macbooks Now Supports Windows!

Man, this takes me back! They announced the Intel chip transition for OSX back at WWDC 2005. I joined a group online to try to get Windows running on Macs. Someone cracked then code & then it was all downhill from there! Apple caved to the pressure & released Boot Camp to make it official in 2006. Then someone figured out the reverse: Hackintosh! Which put OSX on a standard Windows PC, which meant cheap power! Looks like my last tutorial thread on it was back in 2013: (then I hit burnout & shut down, still feel bad about that, sorry guys!)

The Hackintosh Thread

Latest News: 22-May-2013: Apparently I am a workaholic. I still poke my head in here occasionally! haha 7-Feb-2013: Hi to all the ZDNet readers! 3-Jan-2013: Posted this guide. Table of Contents: 1. Quick introduction 2. What is Hackintosh? 3. Legality 4. Why build one? 5. Pros and Cons 6...

@purbeast0 There's a throwback link for ya lol. I think half of my professional computer education came from having oodles of time back in college to goof around with trying to get that science-fair project to work! I did a lot of virtualization with Parallels, VMware, and VirtualBox, and now virtualization is a big chunk of my professional career lol. I'm still on that 2013 PC at home (never crashes 9+ years in lol), although it's running Windows now...Apple neglected Final Cut Pro so long that I switched to Adobe Premier & haven't looked back since! Funny how much time I sunk into it & then haven't used OSX in ages (well, my wife has an M1 Air, but that's hers lol).

Then Apple made the switch to their own ARM-based chips. These days, I use an iPad Pro M1 with the Pencil 2.0 most of the time. I can do photo, video, CAD, sculpting, vector, notes, etc. on it. It screams & the battery life is actually amazing! Technology is bonkers lol.

Hah that was the start of the end of Windows for me as a primary OS. I am still rocking my 2014 MBP though, which I purchased in 2015.

i've also got a 2014 MBP that's still running great, but i don't use it for anything but music recording and travel

windows will probably always be my main OS, with ubuntu in vmware when i want to do some development
