Due to the fact that the Apple Silicon is built using the ARM architecture, it means that apps developed for x86 processors, like those made by Intel and AMD, won’t be 100% compatible. In Apple’s case, they are using a tool called Rosetta that converts x86 apps into apps that are compatible with ARM.

It isn’t always the most ideal solution since they’re not necessarily optimized, but given how new the Apple Silicon chipsets are, we suppose it’ll have to do for now. The good news for Dropbox users is that the company has told 9to5Mac that they are actually testing out a version of the app that will be compatible for M1 chipsets.

Prior to this, users were complaining about the lack of M1 support, especially since sometimes apps converted through Rosetta actually end up being quite a battery drain due to the lack of optimization. This means that whatever Apple’s advertised battery life is has been offset by the lack of properly optimized apps.

According to Dropbox, “Dropbox currently supports Apple M1 through Rosetta. We have an internal build for native Apple M1 support, which we’re currently testing and we’re committed to releasing in the first half of 2022. While we regularly ask for customer feedback and input on new products or features, this was not one of those instances.”

Earlier this year, Apple launched their refreshed iPad Pros. Not only did the tablet come with the new M1 chipset, but it was also the first Apple product to feature the use of mini LED display technology. However, users were quick to discover that the use of mini LED also meant that the tablet was suffering from a blooming effect.

This is basically where there is a glow/halo effect around images that are particularly bright, and it becomes very noticeable in the dark. For those who might be worried that the new MacBook Pros might end up suffering from the same issue, you’ll be pleased to learn that that won’t be the case, or at least we haven’t really heard anything about it so far.

According to users who have received the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, it seems that they aren’t reporting any issues with the laptop’s displays, and that any blooming effect found in the iPad Pro aren’t present in the laptops, or are at the very least aren’t as bad or obvious. Some tests found that it is present but only in very deep black backgrounds against very bright white text, but otherwise it isn’t as bad as the iPad Pro.

It is unclear what Apple did that might have reduced the blooming effect, but either way it’s good news for those who are planning on getting the new laptops.

Joel Quenneville’s resignation comes after he was implicated for ignoring a player’s assault allegations by a coach.

Game companies would obviously love it if gamers were to keep playing their games, but there are many reasons why gamers might stop playing a game halfway. It might be boring, it might be too difficult, they might be too busy with their life, and so on. However, Ubisoft has embarked on a rather creative way to try and get gamers back.

According to gamers who have played Far Cry 6, it seems that Ubisoft is sending some of these gamers emails asking them to come back to the game. However, it isn’t your typical “We’ve missed you” kind of email, but rather it’s an email written by the game’s antagonist, Anton Castillo, who is played by Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito.

It basically hints at and shames the player for not being good enough for spending as little time as they did in Far Cry 6. It thanks players for giving him free rein in Yara, and that “Surely you can do better than this”. It is kind of funny and we have to say that it is also rather creative how Ubisoft is trying to use such a method into trying to rile players up into getting back into the game.

However, some have suggested that this is actually kind of a poor marketing tactic and that essentially it ends up feeling like a spam email, but what say you? Any Far Cry 6 players out there feel that this email actually convinced them to start playing the game again?

Google recently made a big splash by announcing Android 12L, which finally acknowledges the existence of devices with large screens, including tablets, foldables, and even laptops or PCs. Long before that overdue day, however, the likes of Samsung had already been carving their own path, especially with Samsung DeX. Motorola recently revealed its own platform, oddly named “Ready For,” and … Continue reading
