As someone who uses macOS for 11 years as the daily driver for his work, I can just say that it would be a bloodbath.
Not only is the driver support abysmal, kext are gone, and the actual quality of macOS has declined significantly over the years.
10 years ago, there was the rule of thumb to wait one update before you do the “big” OS upgrade, now it's better to wait for 3–4 updates as Sanoma crashes on our working machines (1500 people company) frequently.
Speaking of crashes, my m1 MacBook Pro 13, still running Ventura, has crashed more than ANY OTHER mac before. And I'm talking about crashes like, you close the lid, drive to the airport, take a seat, open the lid and just see that macOS starts completely fresh and presents you with a system crash message.
And this is the first Mac where I don't use any kext, strange tools, and completely abandoned software development…
The only thing that let me keep the m1 is the battery life...
Try creating a new user profile (keeping the old untouched). I had the same problems on my M1 MBA and assumed complex hardware or OS issues. But all problems are gone on the new profile (still existent on the old one when used). Strange.
On the topic of Hackintoshes: They are becoming more and more obsolet with Apples focus on Apple Silicon, Neural Engines and so on. Not spec or price wise, but regarding feature parity and Apples OS support for the Intel architecture. Lots of old „Hackintoshers“ abandoning the hobby.
It's interesting as my M2 machines of which I have two, have never crashed on me once. However, I'm very choosy about the software I run on them, and the said software doesn't do weird bollocks like trying to extend builtin frameworks with plugins. I mean, those are not weird bollocks per se, but Apple seems to be actively abandoning any and all effort it has done to make their own stuff (for example, Mail) extensible. So be it. One day I'll surely flip them a bird as I install Linux on my remaining mac.
Wonder if your M1 might have a hardware defect lurking, though — the vast majority of kernel panics on real macs come from hardware malfunctioning.
I have a different perception; Apple Vision Pro is not the MVP for AR but just the next iteration of these devices.
The original MVP for AR was Microsofts HoloLens and especially HoloLens 2. The later one has many of the AVP features already in place (hand and eye tracking, spatial awareness etc.) and has proven on a professional level to be a useful tool.
OpenCV has wheels built for all common platforms so it should be fine now. If your platform or python version is too new/old/unsupported then yeah, you can forget about building it and use another platform/python version.
To be honest, it's always this dice roll with most things on pypi. If there are wheels for you, golden. If not, you better hope it's a pure python package or it doesn't pull any outside libs. Things are getting better though with solutions like cibuildwheel.
The period on the end of your wikipedia article link is being stripped off by HN's URL parser doodah. Sticking a url encoded period on the end does the trick:
There was a lot of innovative design in the 90s when computers transitioned from being viewed as industrial-like equipment to friendly, humanist tools. I might just be getting old, but there were some really great designs in the 90s. Even things old PC towers like the Inwin Q500 still look good, despite not being the latest fashion.
They are absolutely beautiful, and the Open Windows environment is still gorgeous. Sadly not very useful today but for remote terminal sessions --and you would need a local web browser.
AirTag shows what Nokia tried to achieve with their Treasure Tag system back in 2014. Hopefully they work more reliable and that the Find My Network Accessory program will be implemented by more manufactures. Stuff like this can be useful for some people.
Lol good to know. Original author here. I very occasionally get strange emails from people with mental health problems who are overly fascinated by it, as well as Google Play reviews accusing it to be "evil and demonic". I later created http://arkadia.xyz/ for a much more wholesome experience. The stuff in the first Zoomquilts is just fantasies of all the illustrators who participated back then, I assume there really was no evil intention :-D
idk - the old IT admin had activates this and till today nobody has even bothered...
...but what caused way more trouble was the situation where the blocked all "alcohol" related sites and within five minutes he had a note from one of the CEOs... :D
