Is anyone familiar with PC gaming on Mac via Parallels? I tried to install & play Doom 2016 on Windows10 via Parallels but couldn't start. Seems some drivers issue and because Parallels doesn't or can't do a direct GPU emulation it doesn't really work to install and update AMD drivers (I'm on latest MacBook Pro 2018).
I wanted to avoid doing Bootcamp as that would lock me in Windows while gaming and can't quickly switch between OS'es and tasks. But seems have no choice if I want to play AAA games.
Saw some YouTube videos that successfully played AAA titles via Parallels but seems not all games will run.
- PC's the only way to go. I wasted so much time trying to do this a few years. Not worth the headache, imo.section_014

- You're right. I did a Bootcamp on my MBP, so much better.NBQ00
- playing any game on a mac is a waste of time... stopped trying years ago tooPonyBoy

Tim Cook has collected over $650 million in Apple stock since he became CEO as he's led the company to be worth over $1 trillion
- Well deserved.ArmandoEstrada
- not deserved, how about giving 10k of stock to each employee in the Chinese factories, I'm sure they employ less than 65k peeps, so perhaps a bit more?shapesalad
- everyone that works at and for apple is part of team, even the janitor - all of their work combine generates the huge profits = share the profitsshapesalad
- shape, in an ideal world every company & billionaire would share their profits with everybody.NBQ00
- shape's right. We should stop giving "ideal" world excuses for these cunts, They are the thrones in the worlds side.mugwart

- They don't need big ideas anymore, the watch is doing just fine even tho there's nothing impressive about it. It's an incremental gain in their ecosystem.zarkonite

Just noticing again over the past couple of weeks how much superior macOS (High Sierra) is over Windows (10).
I only use Windows for gaming but every time I boot into it I'm so glad I don't actually have to work in there. I know it's just habits and many will disagree but to me so many things in Windows are so annoying.
macOS is just so much more fluid and robust overall. And all the UI is much more consistent and thought out.
Windows has so many annoying shit going on in the background that is not easy to find to disable. I had to really google 100 things on how to disable stuff because you can't find it easily or it's hidden in registry files that you need to edit in order to get rid of annoying crap going off. The fact that Microsoft treats it's user like idiots (at least that's how it makes me feel) is another sign.
On the surface and superficially Windows10 looks nice but then when you work in it you notice quickly how it's just a skin over the same old Windows crap that they hadn't really improved in all the past 10+ years.
And now with macOS Mojave coming soon the Mac will be even better.
- that calculator - why would you need to stretch it so wide that there's a big gap on the right side?shapesalad
- the gap on the right side will show the calculation history, like an adding machine.imbecile
- and it's responsive too, just make it less wide and it goes away.zarkonite
- I find osx just as annoying and full of bad ideas.zarkonite
- Not much to argue with here. They should include a "disable all the bullshit" toggle switch for power users.section_014

Which motion studio does all of Apple's CG promo videos of their products? They look nice and always have good quality shaders/ renders and overall nice motion design.
- they certainly do.hans_glib
- most likely internal, considering the use of production models in all renderingsimbecile
- I assume for shaders and motion design... they still have some really good connections to pixar and their technology.uan
- Nah, pixar isn't involved. Either internal or some motion studio. Years ago Logan.tv did a lot of stuff for them. Not sure if still.NBQ00
- They have their own internal agency, a very secret arm of TBWA called Media Arts Lab that only works on Apply. I worked there for a hot second its intense.shellie

Man, these events are a wet fart now. "The watch is a life alert bracelet too, now". Except, it's really not since you gotta have your phone nearby too.
Until this thing can show a hologram, chill with the events.
