He stated that he has this issue with new glasses. Not sure generic drug store reading glasses will help if his (Assuming they are prescription, though I could be wrong on that.) current ones don't help.

Roku's are no better.

The top device on my network being blocked from reaching it's mothership are my Roku devices. This is the top analytics from my NextDNS console for the past two weeks:

scribe.logs.roku.com 417,115

stats.gc.apple.com 24,752

ssl.google-analytics.com 16,178

track.sr.roku.com 7,534

Roku is easily on the top of my list on spying devices on my network. The Apple ones, while still worrying, are on a network with tons of Apple devices between phones, MacBooks, watches, iPads, etc whereas there are three Roku's making all that traffic.

My wife's Dell gaming laptop just installed a BIOS/Firmware update today, straight from Windows Update. Surprised me to see the firmware update after doing a reboot from updates.

A game is a game. There is no "real gaming". Apple Arcade with a Xbox controller paired to a Mac is actually a fun gaming device for some types of gamers.

Genshin Impact is a great game that is on iOS in addition to "real consoles". Oceanhorn 2 is an amazing game that was originally on Apple Arcade and brought to Nintendo's "real console".

There is also quite a number of ports that I think you aren't aware of.

Ahhh, ok. Thanks for the info!

Runs outstanding on both of my Broadwell based devices.

MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2015) and iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015).

Safari has translation built in, at least in Safari 14.

Wipr works outstanding for me on both iOS and macOS.

Every single device on your iCloud account gets the 2FA prompt. You then choose which device you want to confirm the request on. The prompt does not go to just a single device, but every single device on said iCloud account.

No. I mean you can use the included PIM/multimedia apps with any current service you use without using any Apple account. Just goto accounts and passwords under settings and add your preferred service to integrate with notes/email/contacts/etc.

Sure I would say this would make it more of a feature phone but the device itself is quite usable without an iCloud account.

Non-activated Windows is limited. You cannot even enter the appearance features in the settings application when in such a state.

You can use it, sure. But between the watermark that is always on top and lack of being able to customize the OS I wouldn't want to use "free windows".

iOS is still useful without an iCloud account. Everything still works. Calendar, Calculator, Contacts, Safari, Music, etc, on and on all work just fine. You can add any number of third party services with the email app. All you loose not logging into iCloud is sync'ing of said data to other devices. It's a local only device at that point.

Pretty sure the same stands for Android.

You can most definitely setup an iOS device without signing into iCloud, same as you don't need to use a Google account for an Android device.

macOS is also quite a capable workstation OS that needs no account other than a local account.

Windows 10 Home you cannot even create a local account without having the Internet disconnected.

Not really. Too much emotional down-voting for me to care or find it of any useful information.

Obviously just my personal opinion.

I think because while not clean and not "properly fixed" a very simple workaround was provided? I don't know why else.

You said your app was just slower under Firefox? So it at least "works", no?

Parallels can interface with the Hypervisor Framework instead of it's own, so there is at least one decent GUI. However performance compared to the Parallels hypervisor is very poor.

I would be interested in an Apple VM app overlay for the integrated Hypervisor though! And hopefully we see some speed improvements. :)

The Hypervisor framework has been in macOS since at least Mojave (if not longer, this is just what I began using it), it's not new to macOS 11.

In my small town I use only NFC via my watch, phone or tapping my card. If every place accepts NFC payments in this little town I would assume it's more widespread than you think.

I think it's just not widely known about/common usage in the US even though the infrastructure seems to be widely there.

I think people were more put off by your amazement that it worked at all (and the "tone" which went with it), when there is no reason for it considering the original write-up has no issues with its implementation. Of course use what makes your project work the best, but don't go monster cable level on parts that need not.

Wipr works wonderful on macOS and iOS. NextDNS is also an option. I use both together on my Mac's and iOS devices.

Wipr is one of the many content blockers available for Safari, be it iOS or macOS.

AMD has the same "Secure Enclave".

AMD PSP; "AMD Platform Security Processor".

See my edits, couldn't reply earlier. We agree in the end. :)

Then you aren't the target for these browsers. I suggest you use one that does what you need. Safari does enough for the majority, tho I understand if "power users" need more "control".

Are you a Safari user? I'm trying to understand why you are so obsessive over this minor (to the majority of Safari users) "issue".

Regardless, we all deserve privacy and I suggest everyone use either an extension OR a content blocker. I don't care. Just stick it to those scum bags mining your data to send you "targeted" ads. That we can agree on!

edit: Cannot reply to bad_user for whatever reason. Regardless, I think we're both on the same page arguing about the same thing in different ways. Let's agree to disagree? <3 my man. Take it easy.

Safari has tons of users, the majority being on mobile.

Safari has functioning content blocking.

What is the point of your comment?

I've yet to see a iOS or macOS content blocker that doesn't use multiple filter rules to bypass the 50k limit.

So just install a content blocker? I don't get what you're trying to say.

Plenty of them out there for iOS and macOS and they work well.

Because content blockers are fine for the majority of users, IMO. Of course there will be power users who are buggered, but things like Wipr on iOS and macOS work just fine for blocking ads.

I switched to Wipr on my devices and ads are still blocked, for basic ad blocking it gets the job done easily and quickly.

I also did not join in the Chrome bashing as I personally prefer the "security" of content blockers vs. extensions. (Tho, I trust my goto extension uBlock Origin just fine.)

Jesus, who the fuck cares about what Snowden released. I am more sad people aren't way up in arms about WHAT WE LEARNED. (Yes, I understand that sentence makes itself not make sense, but you get my point. Rushed and on mobile, but this pissed me off.)

Thank you Snowden, and fuck you U.S. Government.

Eating meat is part of life, no one is torturing them. Torture is for a reason or for fun. There is a reason some animals are raised and used for food and its not to have fun torturing them.

I let you live your way, don't try to force others to live your way by using "scare tactics".
