I use Parallels on an M2 MacBook Air to run a 3D-intensive x86-64 software package under Windows 11, and it is plenty speedy. The x86-64 emulation layer in Win11 is actually quite good. It's not as fast as Rosetta 2, but still quite usable. I did try using UTM for a while, and it was noticeably slower. Sharing folders between guest and host OSes was also terrible in UTM compared to Parallels.
Yeah, saw that. I wrote to Steam to complain, and told them to cancel my account... as I only signed up for Half Life anyway. Hopefully we don't have to wait another 25 years for a 64-bit macOS binary of HL
Thanks, yeah some things around here never change, like
- dupe articles
- lack of Unicode support
- inability to edit posts after submitting them
But I'm seeing more and more early users coming back and posting, which is pretty cool.
Too bad your link is dead. It might be interesting for those who here have never seen a fab.
I don't have the same link saloomy shared, but Wired did a really good write-up on TSMC and the topic of chip independence earlier this year.
Did all the trapped drivers get out and dance in a TikTok video? At least turn lemons into lemonade, people!
Came here to mention the macOS compatibility issue as well. For a free game, we got what we paid for, I suppose!
From this February:
"In the United States, there is the state of New Guinea. This state is located in the southeastern corner of the country and is bordered by Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. New Guinea is known for its beautiful beaches, mountains, and forests, and is home to the Appalachian Trail."
Speaking of ancient history, does anyone here remember DESQview?
Your UID is low enough that you should remember a time when we printed everyone's number along with their name in a big BIG book and gave it out for free.
My UID is low enough that I can remember when everyone's number was etched into cuneiform tablets.
I've been using this ViewSonic 32" 4K display for the last three years and it works pretty nicely. The controls aren't fun to use, but the unit works reliably with a USB-C to mini-DisplayPort cable:

It's not 5K of course, but it's a big leap up from a 1440p display at least.
Looks like Apple saw your post and unfortunately responded with, "don't hold your breath":

I know your pain though. I used a maxed-out 2009 27" iMac until last year when I finally upgraded to an M2-based Mac. It was definitely time.
I've had better luck with Windows 11 for ARM's x86-64 emulation layer under Parallels. It's snappy enough for daily use.
If you are using Windows 11 in a VM on a host that already implements hardware disk encryption, you can disable Windows disk encryption with the following steps:
1. Open cmd as Administrator
2. Type manage-bde -off C: (or whatever drive is your encrypted data drive)
3. Profit
