how about some chat news if you build a pc and install macOS on
it that's called a hackintosh and it's usually a fun diy project for
individuals who have a lot of time to spend tearing their hair out well one
company thought they'd make things easier for the end user and start selling hackintoshes oh i see where this
is going opencore computer has rolled out a high-end desktop called the
velociraptor the velociraptor the velocinator which features custom
hardware and a dual boot installation with Windows 10. however unlike the real
mac pro the velociraptor starts at only
21.99 us dollars sounds like a sweet
deal there's only one problem it's a really bad idea you see apple likes to
keep the lid shut tight on its ecosystem
and the velociraptor is a pretty blatant violation of apple's license agreement
meaning this chicken sized dino could land open core into some boiling hot
legal water and if they modulate the temperature slowly enough
they won't even know when it's dying it could happen right now could be
delicious though notably open core is only taking
payments in bitcoin which might mean the company thinks it's found a legal
loophole but either way i'd fully expect apple's fleet of lawyers to come calling
very soon velociraptors
they have the technology they're coming in jeeps printers have been frustrating
and angering computer users for decades now and a couple of recent updates to
Windows 10 are really helping to cement printers infuriating legacy two hotfixes
that were released last week are reportedly preventing many different
brands of printers from printing at all and some users have said that they can't
even virtually print to a pdf which i always thought that was stupid why don't
you just save to a pdf microsoft says that they're working on
the problem which is a relief as bugs are actually crashing file explorer all
together when the user tries to print something this is a hell this is a type
of hell in the meantime using a universal pcl6 printer driver might help
you if you haven't gone all office based on the poor thing just yet i mean it
deserves it but let's try to be better the fight against loot boxes doesn't look like
it's slowing down much as the complaint was filed in the u.s last week at a
federal court accusing apple of unfair and deceptive business practices
violation of gambling laws and just a regular old unjust enrichment
unjust enrichment okay the suit was initiated by a parent who
is concerned about her son spending money on loot boxes offered by apps
available on the app store and is now seeking class action apple of course
isn't directly selling loot boxes but the fact that they get a cut
of in-app purchases is a basis for many of the claims in the complaint i'm sure
apple's lawyers will be quick to point out though that the app store allows
parents to stop kids from buying anything at all but hey the plaintiffs
when everybody that uses iOS might get a class action check big enough to like
buy a slice of pizza and that's no joke
this is pizza we're talking about i don't even think you can get a slice of pizza
you're gonna get 250 or something for out of this i doubt it now it's time for

nonetheless microsoft yanked support for custom gamer picks from xbox live during
the pandemic due to decreased moderator availability but it looks like they're
now re-enabling that functionality hopefully people won't use this
opportunity to put anything inappropriate as a profile photo
but i want to see that Intel's upcoming tiger lake cpus are
apparently going to have advanced anti-malware tech built into the silicon
it's called control flow enforcement technology c-f-e-t c-fed that's what i'm
calling it and it's not actually a cyberpunk arms manufacturer it's a new
way for cpus to carry out instructions that can shut down certain attacks even
if software antivirus solutions fail it's basically like being in a castle
protected by a moat full of tigers and they're great swimmers in a somewhat
surprising move apple is now letting customers upgrade their own ssds in the
mac pro of course the ssds you'll have to use our expensive apple made modules
and it doesn't look like you'll be able to use off-the-shelf parts but at least
it's something maybe the ice around tim apple's heart is starting to melt
through three sizes it's gonna have to grow a bit it can he can take more than a day he's
got vacation time hoarded sources are reporting that the
xbox series x will be shipping with the same dashboard currently being
used for the xbox one leading many to ask then what's even the point of
getting a new console i mean it's not like the xbox is gonna be able to top
spider-man miles morales a new ui is the least microsoft could do despicable
you want it to feel like a new thing when you plug it in you know and kfc of
all companies decided to enter the console wars in its own way by releasing
a video of its own kf console kfc ansel
and yes it's shaped like their iconic chicken bucket sadly the console which
is equipped with a heated chicken chamber is just a joke but i am actually
pretty disappointed as i actually was looking forward to playing the colonel sanders dating sim at 120
