I switched from Windows to macOS a few years ago and haven't looked back since. My MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip performs extremely well for my usage and requirements, and the battery life is nothing short of extraordinary -- even after three years of use. I've also gotten used to the quirks of macOS to a point where they don't really bother me much anymore. However, from time to time, I do feel the need to use Windows since macOS doesn't support several apps and software. Some software programs linked to several niches aren't available on macOS and are exclusive to Windows. In such cases, one may need to access Windows 11 on a Mac. After all, everyone cannot have two separate computers running different operating systems.

Speed runs are an exciting pastime among video game enthusiasts. They showcase a skill level and intimate knowledge about a game that few players will ever truly have. Some players can finish long games in a fraction of the time it would take a normal playthrough to reach the end. People can accomplish such feats through the use of clever shortcuts and glitches that allow them to skip over large portions of a game, bringing them to the ending in unfathomable times. To the uninitiated, it may look like an almost superhuman level of skill.

We all know we should be using a password manager. I have tried everything – from popular options like 1Password and LastPass to community-driven solutions such as Bitwarden. And then I came across Proton Pass. From the moment I started using it, the change was instantaneous. Whether it was privacy, features, design, or cross-platform availability, Proton’s offering ticked all the right boxes for me. What started as an experiment quickly turned into a crucial part of my digital life.

Gamers of a certain age will remember the Nintendo 64 Rumble Pak, and that first feeling of an in-game explosion vibrating the controller in your hands. In the endless pursuit of making gaming more immersive, companies have pushed 3D gaming monitors, ultra-high frame rates, and 8K resolution. Anything to make the game look better and feel more real. It seems the next evolution in immersive gaming is haptic feedback.

When my smart home started out, it had only a few devices connected to the network, mostly from the same company, and it was fairly simple to manage. Over time, the number of devices grew substantially, to the point where I've got them all connected to a smart home hub running Home Assistant because I got tired of app-juggling.

Like many of the components in a computer, performance doesn't always come down to "higher number = better." There's a ton of nuance within each part, and while sometimes performance is easy to quantify by looking at specs, the VRAM capacity of a graphics card isn't one you can do that with.

Over 100,000 steps, and probably just as many Red Bulls, later, I'm finally putting a bow on my Computex trip. There were some wonderful announcements at the show, from an Asus gaming keyboard that's the first of its kind to Intel's Project Battlematrix to AMD's tease of the next version of FSR. But by far my favorite part of Computex each year are the insane, custom rigs that are on display on the show floor. Not only are they great eye candy, they also show exceptional craftsmanship.

At last month's rapturously received Slate debut, it took an executive's quip that "Slate" and "Tesla" use the same 5 letters to shift my brain into high gear. I've covered the EV world for 15-plus years, and I virtually never spend time on counterfactuals. There's quite enough to cover in the real world.But … I'm of the opinion Tesla could, and should, have launched a small, simple, cheap compact pickup truck-in other words, what Slate debuted-rather than the pickup it did produce, the Cybertruck. That expensive and polarizing vehicle has been, to put it bluntly, a sales disaster. Over 18 months, Tesla has sold only about 50,000, versus projections of many times that volume. Worse, while EV crossover utilities sell tens of thousands a month, the more expensive EV pickup trucks to date have not. The path not takenThe company that led the world in EV production for more than a decade could have launched an inexpensive small pickup that would have democratized EVs to a whole new class of buyers. Tesla likely could have offered more range at the same price due to its in-house battery cell production. And it would have been a global product, likely to be sold in Europe and China …Read the full story at The Verge.

PC building has long been a hobbyist endeavour, but it feels like it's become increasingly out of reach for the average consumer. Over the past few years, a combination of growing public interest in the hobby, inflation pressures, and now tariffs, continues to drive component prices higher.

Apple hasn’t announced when the Mr. Scorsese series will be released.After directing dozens of documentaries over his 60-year career, legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese will now have his own life chronicled for Apple TV Plus. In its announcement, Apple says the five-part Mr. Scorsese documentary series will explore how themes like “the place of good and evil in the fundamental nature of humankind” have shaped Scorsese’s filmography as far back as his student work at New York University.Apple hasn’t mentioned a release date for the docuseries, which is being directed by Rebecca Miller (She Came to Me, Personal Velocity). Mr. Scorsese will benefit from “exclusive, unrestricted access to Scorsese’s private archives,” according to Apple, alongside extensive interviews with Scorsese himself that dive into how his own life experiences have influenced his work. The series also includes “never-before-seen interviews” with the filmmaker’s friends, family, and creative collaborators, including Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mick Jagger, Robbie Robertson, Steven Spielberg, and Miller’s husband, Daniel Day-Lewis.“[Scorsese’s] work and life are so vast and so compelling that the piece evolved from one to five parts over a five-year period,” said Miller. “Crafting this documentary alongside my longtime collaborators has been one of the defining experiences of my life as a filmmaker.”

If you use the Snipping Tool often, you're likely used to precisely dragging your cursor to capture just the right portion of the screen. A lot of the time, the screenshot ends up including details you don't need or some extra space you didn't mean to grab.
