MZ posted:I've used Parallels a lot over the years for Windows emulation on Mac, and it works really well for the most part. My question is, is there an equivalent software that emulates macOS on Windows? If you dont mind  there is an app called unlocker for vmware player/workstation that does the trick.

I don’t know if it does count as Mac software but the upcoming keynote is going to be streamed on YouTube, so it’s no longer scorched earth policy for google services? Are they going to use it as an embed on the website and keep the apple cdn for ATV usage only?

Pivo posted:I don't see why virtualization software wouldn't allow it, though. Cause virtualization requires the same uARCH on host or guest, else we are talking emulation which is an entirely different can of worms. You could virtualize arm64 windows on arm64 mac but not AMD64 windows on arm64 mac. Running live emulation requires a lot of extra compute power else you get a lot of slowdowns (compare doing snes emultation performance to n64 or gamecube).

It runs slowly on bare metal and it will run slower on virtualized. The native software library for windows 10 arm is smaller than beos last time i checked.

Pantsmaster Bill posted:Searched a couple of pages back, and done a bit of googling. I need a way to stream music from my NAS to my imac, preferably using UPNP. VLC seems to have some issues with browsing big UPNP shares, what are my other options? Any dlna client will throw a hiss fit when dealing with more than a couple hundred files over a dlna folder, qnap nas will let you browse the media folders one by one rather than a single big repository but i guess other brands let you do the same.

ThermoPhysical posted:It's for IT Infrastructure class at my university. The professor does Zoom calls, requires the camera and mic be on and does recordings but refuses to make them available for download in any fashion so I have to save them myself because the internet and power can be spotty here. Docker is a new thing that started being needed as of a few weeks ago and the MBA M1 doesn't seem to like Docker or Zoom..but I hate Zoom too so it's not alone. If your prof wasn't such an rear end in a top hat i would suggest to use NDI to offload the audio & video to another recorder but it will make a very evident popup that will startle the professor.

ThermoPhysical posted:In class right now (well, doing class on Zoom). We're not using Docker today and just listening to a guest speaker from Microsoft go on and on about random things not exactly pertaining to things we've done from class... Anyway, the MBA doesn't seem to like the recording + video + mic + Zoom + Chrome. I think I'll look into the MBP 14 or 16 if it drops. This includes sending video to a 4k display as well. I would suggest hunting a standalone video recorder, like an epiphan webcaster x2(or a pearl nano if you are flush). Zoom is going to suck no matter how much iron you throw at it if you plan to do the call, recording it and do the labs on the same machine.

ThermoPhysical posted:After accessing what's been going on, I think it would actually be more beneficial for me to just get a Mac Mini and not use the MBA for classes unless I'm not at home and actually on-campus (which I won't be for the foreseeable future thanks to COVID). Plus, the Mini is cheaper than the MacBook Pro at similar specs and fits better into my budget. Also, I'd get to keep the MBA which I really do like outside of the warming issues I've gotten. If you plan to use the mini for labs I would suggest evaluating the nbase/10g network upgrade so that you can use remote storage almost as quick as local

ThermoPhysical posted:Would this be worth getting if my NAS doesn't support 10g (Synology DS920+) and my Internet is only half a gig? Nothing stops you to eventually upgrade to a more powerful nas. The 10g port is not about internet speeds but internal networks so you could use your m1 to provide(or receive) services to(or from) multiple hosts at 1g(as long as you have a 10g port on your switch). You cannot upgrade a single bit of the m1 so I would suggest to splash a bit on features during purchase.

Martytoof posted:I mean I'm not sure there's any OS where you can just cleanly uninstall an app and it'll leave zero trace in all cases. It would be cool is Apple Sherlock'd AppCleaner and integrated it into the recycle bin. You'd think the OS should be smart enough to detect "oh hey I dragged an app in here, maybe let's clean up after it if we can" but I mean the fact that it doesn't is why we're having this discussion. Funnily enough, windows 8 era store apps had a operational sandbox so tight, they really had no place to fit files and configurations outside of it. The only vestiges of that is in Xbox one, current windows store lets developers poo poo your computer freely.

BrianRx posted:Speaking of Parallels, is there a reason to pay for it when you can just use VMware or VirtualBox for free? I think both even have an integrated mode so that you don't have to switch between your host and guest OSes if you don't want to. I see it offers MDM, so is it more of an enterprise solution than a tool for individuals? There is no free VMware for Mac OS, player is available only for windows or Linux. Virtualbox is pretty much the worse possible user experience compared any other commercial virtualization so wanting fusion or parallels instead is understandable.

Twerk from Home posted:We've got fast storage arrays, faster than gigabit networking, and many Wifi 6e WAPs. I want to expose this fast network storage to Macs. Am I going to suffer less with SMB or NFS? I'd default to NFS, but I've had some bad experiences with Mac NFS before. Check if your NAS can handle smb v3.x , if it does you will not have to search for alternative protocols to go full speed(keep in mind wifi 6e still sucks for heavy data transfer, I would investigate thunderbolt nics to go faster than gigabit).
