TF2 IN 64 BITS ?

[justin.langlois]

Hey,
I know Macs were never meant to be gaming machines. However, I recently acquired a Mac M1, a machine powerful enough to play TF2 without problems. But the latest versions of MAC OS no longer allow the use of old versions of 32-BIT games. Please, is it possible to update TF2 to 62 BITS? This game is so awesome..

1. I don't have to tell Microsoft I don't want Edge for the 500th time.
2. Bing isn't my default search engine
3. I don't have to put up with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smFt0EquNoo&list=LL&index=52&t=1s
4. I can rebind keys without editing the registry files, or having to download a Microsoft specific program
5. File explorer is jank as ♥♥♥♥.
6. Multiple desktop support is much better
7. I don't have to reset my telemetry settings every update because Microshaft wants my keyboard input for datamining.
8. NTFS is garbage and WinFS has no sign of coming out any time soon.
9. Trackpad support is *chefs kiss*
10. Resolution scaling is much better
11. Applescript is surprisingly good (although Adobe does support C# scripting and everyone i've talked to that's used C# loves it)
I have a 3-page document somewhere that I've handwritten my grievences with Windows 10, but I can't find it rn.

EDIT: just remembered more:
12. I don't have to uninstall Candy Crush after a fresh install (or subsequently when Microsoft sneaks it in after some updates)
13. I can actually TURN OFF UPDATES
14. Cortana is garbage, lol.
15. Universal Control is bae
16. Being able to take calls and respond to texts from my phone kicks ass.
17. Midi input comes with the OS
18. Audio stack is actually really good.
19. Font rendering isn't trash.
20. I can open/edit files in two programs at once.

21. Screensharing (a vnc protocol) is built in
22. Homebrew, while not as good as Linux package managers, is better than windows.

Did you double space it and use the Times New Roman 12-point font too?

Last I knew 11-point Cambria was the new standard. Been awhile since college tho.

Make sure it’s in MLA format

Aw ♥♥♥♥ I used APA :(

I gave Windows 10 an honest shot, I really did after using 7 for a long time, but using MacOS was less painful.

DaVinci Resolve is better for that.

Both are absurdly overpriced for what The average person will be using it for. The only difference is that I got premiere for free. :^)
(DanVinci is awesome though but free is free)

fair enough, but I will shill it for eternity.

Idk any windows user here, I just wanna say I HATE working on windows, it’s disgusting. Things crashing randomly, having to deal with the twenty year old operating system, i just hate everything about windows. I will also put work>gaming tho, and I just prefer macs. Macs are now capable for gaming, so the companies might as well allow it to get some extra cash.

20. I can open/edit files in two programs at once.

1 : Registry tweak to disable automatic edge install
2 : You can set it in settings
3 : Registry tweak!
4 : Not everyone is a hacker
5 : Opinion.
6 : IDK i don't have multiple desktop
7 : O&O ShutUp10
8 : Why?
9 : Seems fine to me
10 : IDK i never used mac
11 : AutoHotKey may be an alternative?
12 : It doesnt do that anymore
13 : You can turn off updates in windows too, only for a limited period of time in settings. Maybe you can completely disable them using registry tweaks
14 : Yeah i just disable it. Its useless
15 : If you're talking about User Account Control, you can disable it in settings
16 : You can do that with the "My Phone" app. Unexpectedly from Microsoft, it's not bad.
17 : Just install VLC and be done with it
18 : i guess
19 : You can edit ClearType settings since Windows Vista. Just type "ClearType" in the start menu.
20 : It depends. But it's true that, for reasons of safety and to avoid corruptions, 2 applications cannot open an handle to the same file by default.

Shill for shotcut. Smartphones shouldn’t be the only platform that gets free video editors that aren’t terrible like whatever came after movie maker

Hardware benefits:
1. The M-chips kick ass.
2. The only comparable Windows laptops in build quality are Microsoft's Surface line, and they're more expensive and worse than M-family laptops
3. "but muh desktop!" try taking the desktop everywhere with you. I'll work from my recliner thanks.
4. Thunderbolt is bae, and I don't have to buy a Z-series Intel board to get it. (or fry my lap with an Intel Laptop)
5. the keyboards don't suck now that they've abandoned the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ butterfly mechanism and awful touchbar.
6. Magsafe
7. The speakers are disgustingly good.

1, 3, 4: I really, really shouldn't have to edit registry files to do these things.
5. History lesson:
File explorer is Internet Explorer.
During the hearings for Microsoft's monopoly trials, Microsoft claimed they couldn't remove Internet Explorer from Windows because it would adversely affect the system. The judge, deleted Internet Explorer and his Windows 95 system worked fine. So in the next version of Windows, Microsoft made IE into File Explorer.

Now the jank:
The icons take up a lot of otherwise usable space, and a simple file tree would work better rather than the weird as ♥♥♥♥ Quick Access garbage that nobody uses. There's also the lack of a root. Furthermore mounting a remote drive is finicky, and the last time I had to do it I had to open Internet Explorer, give the offending Sharepoint (another Microsoft product!) website full access, and copy+paste the URL into File Explorer.

The search is slow too, like unbearably slow. Compare to Spotlight on Mac especially.

6. "Multiple Desktop" being essentially different screens you can go between. Simple as a left/right swipe on Mac, or cmd+tab will automatically switch between whatever desktop a program is on. I think it's Win+tab on Windows, but ctrl+tab doesn't go between desktops. Pre-10 Windows had zero multiple desktop support, and using multiple monitors was "extending" the display.
7. Shouldn't have to root my own OS to disable telemetry. (The telemetry settings are deliberately confusing and MS outright says they'll reset them when they feel like. That's just insulting).
8. Vs. APFS: no snapshots, checksums, moving/copying files actually copies the file instead of just moving the pointer to a different location, the filenames is still limited to 8-characters long but hides it (I forget the exact method), no UTF support for filenames.
9. It's not something one could go back to.
11. I mean things like automating filers and cropping sizes for Photoshop to do batches of pics. I'm still trying to use it with GREP in InDesign for auto-formatting though.
12. Forgive me if I don't trust it. Also then it shouldn't show up in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Start Menu, along with ads for other Microsoft crap. (no I don't want Xbox Gamepass, Minecraft, Edge, Bing, or the awful Microsoft Store)
13. "limited period of time" or they'll do it on reboot without asking. Again, shouldn't have to edit the registry files to do this. That's not "you can do this" that's "you have to deliberately break it to stop it doing something you don't want"
15. Universal Control is a recent thing they added where I can use the keyboard/mouse between Macs/iPads without 3rd party software. I've been using it for awhile now and "it just werks™"
16. Haven't tried it, maybe I'll ♥♥♥♥ with it the next time I spin up a VM
17. No, midi input, like hooking up my keyboard's midi ports to my Audio Interface.
18. That was an addendum to the above really. Recording instruments with zero lag.
19. Does that make it more accurate to printed? I know a big part of MacOS is that Postscript rendering was built in since the start (another remnant of NextSTEP).
20. Unix-like OSes seem to manage it fine. That's a remnant of DOS.

From what i know
Davici resolve is free as in price, yet not free as in freedom.

You are merely free to use it without paying a buck, yet are not free to view or change the code base

iirc GPU acceleration is only for the paid version.

Then just don't use proprietary software which hides away such features behind a paywall.
I am not into photo or video editing, but maybe kdenlive will do the trick just fine

Sometimes reality just doesn't work out in FOSS' favor. Sure there's a lot of good FOSS software out there, but in many occasions they're overshadowed by their closed-source, paid counterparts.

Adobe Illustrator vs. Inkscape, Photoshop/Lightroom vs. GIMP. I'm not sure InDesign has a FOSS equivalent, or the audio suites like Logic Pro/FL Studio/Reaper/ProTools, and of the main video editing programs (DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, and Final Cut Pro) DaVinci is the "free-est"

How did you get steam running
Isn’t that a 32 bit program

Since steam is just electron
My best guess is that Valve compiled steam for 64 bit on MacOS, yet stays 32 bit on all other platforms to make sure that it even works on the last 2 people left on the planet playing games on their 32 bit machines :P
(no hate towards the people still using such old hardware)
