This patch allows you to run the old Unreal Tournament (1999) on Apple Silicon. I got UT running with it in a few minutes on my M1 MacBook Air and it plays fantastically. Plus it can connect you to still active multiplayer servers.

Hey @codeweavers fix in-game input support regression in Need for Speed: Underground 2 that's been in CrossOver since release 24.
The game has been unplayable since CrossOver 24 including the latest CrossOver 25. Thanks.

Sitting at my #Windows PC, I've been thinking about what my kid asked me recently - if I had #Apple's Messages, Notes and Reminders all perfectly integrated into individual client apps on Windows, would I still want to use the #Mac? I find myself right now wanting to send a couple of text messages to friends and not being able to without physically typing them on the phone. The Messages app is SO convenient. Do I buy a cheap #Macbook JUST for that functionality in this room?! HMM. 
I have an old #mac mini in the office, and would like set up a persistent reverse tunnel so I can always SSH in from home.
Running the ssh command manually isn't a problem, but how do I turn this into a persistent service on #macos so it restarts when the connection drops for whatever reason? Anything in #homebrew ? (The Mac in question is on #mojave 14.7 IIRC, if that helps.)
Even with required ray tracing, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is blockbuster PC performance done right - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/assassins-creed-shadows-pc-performance-best-settings #Assassin'sCreedShadows #UbisoftEntertainment #ActionAdventure #XboxSeriesX/S #UbisoftQuebec #SinglePlayer #Thirdperson #Hardware #Ubisoft #Mac #PS5 #RPG #PC

I update my #Arch machine regularly, including kernel upgrades, and it goes on happily in the background. l never have to power cycle unless I need to boot into Windows. So why does upgrading this #Mac involve sitting looking at a black screen and a progress bar for fifteen minutes and a restart at the end?
It's a worryingly perfect time to revive Assassin's Creed's old social stealth multiplayer - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/its-a-worryingly-perfect-time-to-revive-assassins-creeds-old-social-stealth-multiplayer #Assassin'sCreedBrotherhood #MultiplayerCompetitive #Assassin'sCreedShadows #UbisoftEntertainment #ActionAdventure #UbisoftMontreal #XboxSeriesX/S #UbisoftQuebec #SinglePlayer #Thirdperson #Xbox360 #Ubisoft #Puzzle #Mac #PS3 #PS5 #RPG #PC
#blind #mac #voiceOver users, I'm working on a #stream idea to essentially set up a mac from scratch for efficiency/productivity for a blind power user and am gathering tricks, tools and techniques to include in said stream. I know about the obvious like VOCR, Hammerspoon, launchers like raycast/alfred, specialized apps like Drafts/Logic/Vmware Fusion/BBEdit/VS Code, even more specialized stuff like RCMD, Vollama and Shortcat, maybe some Rogue Amoeba stuff. I will also mention VoiceOver features like hotspots, item chooser, fastSearch and activities. Is there anything major I am missing? @FreakyFwoof @pitermach
#MacOSSequoia 15.3.2 wartet mit Überraschungen auf: Ich beauftrage meinen Rechner für die Nacht oft mit Renderings - seit dem letzten Update des Betriebssystems dauern die überraschend länger. Grund: Das aktuelle System hat die #Energiespar-Funktion 'wenn der Bildschirm ausgeschaltet wird geht der #Mac auch Schlafen' bei default aktiviert. Da denk ich, da steht ein fleissiges Rechen-Bienchen und in Wirklichkeit ist es ne faule Sau geworden... #apple #systemsteuerung

Today on AppAddict - Swinsian Music App - The Answer to Feature Bloat - Swinsian is an app for playing music that ticks every box in what a Mac based music player for local libraries sgould be. I can think of no other app that exemplifies bloat like Apple's Music app, a product desgned not for ease of use, but for maximization of revenue.... - https://appaddict.app/post/swinsian-music-app-the-answer-to-feature-bloat - #Mac #macOS #Apple #AppAddict

I like how Apple needs to harass me into upgrading macOS now. I was a super fan, like I used to order the OS X upgrade disk and then carefully keep It after I was done. I pirated the OS X beta back in the day. I used to buy @siracusa OS X reviews on Kindle so I could really sit back and absorb every detail.
Now I dread MacOS upgrades so much I will wait until they have dropped my current OS from security updates before I hit the big red button. Every time I seem to pick up some new strange behavior and lose something that used to work. Somehow we even broke Preview where it seems to close the file when I minimize it to the Dock roughly 50% of the time.
My needs are so basic. I work primarily off a web browser, terminal, email client and container management system. Even then I hit weird edge cases. I cannot imagine if I was a MacOS super user how frustrating this inconsistent yearly release cycle would be. #apple #mac #macos
