To run Windows XP
A new way to experience 3D Pinball Space Cadet, the best game my school had to offer.
Even though I like that someone did this just for the sake of scratching a nerdy itch, I can't shake the relevance of your question. It's profoundly fun and profoundly stupid all at once.
I know this one!
To fix a detectable USB drive that won’t mount on Mac and Disk Utility can’t properly erase because it was originally formatted on a PC and requires a PC to correct.
Isn't it a shame, then, that you won't really be able to do this unless you're a developer with a Mac who can sideload it. Almost certainly visionOS will have the same draconian restrictions that get placed onto iOS's App Store, and almost certainly no sideloading for non-developers either.
This headline just kinda depresses me. It's super cool work that everyone should get to mess with, but it seems like Big Tech is intent on allowing for zero fun, all in the name of security and anti-piracy.
This is hands down my biggest issue with apple’s approach to Vision Pro. I don’t even know where to start.
OK, but I'd rather see it run Doom
Forgive if I’m mistaken, but isn’t the vision pro literally an M2 MacBook Air inside a headset with an extra processor to handle the XR related stuff? I imagine many if not most of the things you can do with an M2 Air will inherently be possible with a Vision Pro, assuming it doesn’t get walled out of the garden.
Yes, but no. Because of macOS lack, vision pro is just like iPad Pro — powerful hardware with very limited software. :’(
Finally a good fucking OS /s
