  • Mimic Touch Bar screenshot functionality on non-touch bar M1 MacBook Pro
    If you want a fake (yet fully functional) touchbar on your screen, you could use something like: https://github.com/sindresorhus/touch-bar-simulator (I used that for a while on my 2017 mbp). Source: 10 months ago
  • Picture-in-picture for all videos that works on Safari 15 / Monterey?
    Baking soda or Fulifier would on most sites but not iPlayer apparently. However (without any need for an extension) I can use PIP on any compatible website via the button on my touchbar. Perhaps until you find an extension, use touch-bar-simulator? Source: over 1 year ago
  • Why does my new M1 Pro MacBook think it has a touch bar?
    Did you try a restart? It’s bizarre that’s it’s using so much virtual memory too. Only thing I could think of it virtual Touch Bar simulator, but I think you would probably know if you were using that lol. Is it possible there’s an app doing something similar? Also, side note, what do you use to rearrange your menu bar? It looks great. Source: over 2 years ago

  • anybody else routinely have a garbage experience at barcadia?
    Or try the Internet Arcade at archive.org and play games in your browser. Of course, the one thing that is missing is the genuine joystick/button layout, but it is an exact replica of the software that the original games used. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Neil Gaiman, Cory Doctorow And Other Authors Publish Open Letter Protesting Publishers’ Lawsuit Against Internet Archive Library
    Every so often when I'm feeling nostalgic I'll hit up the internet arcade https://archive.org/details/internetarcade or the console living room https://archive.org/details/consolelivingroom They are both worth checking out if you haven't seen them. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Is the Best BeatEmUP ever in this picture?
    You are right. There is also an amazing legal preservation of many Arcade Cabinets available to play directly in browser on The Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/internetarcade. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • sign up for your library card*
    Really, the Internet Archive is huge. Endless. A deep well of data, searchable, somewhat categorized, mostly legal, but primarily just immense. It contains Old Time Radio shows and playable arcade games and huge numbers of scanned books mostly free to download. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • What’s a good emulator for GameCube games?
    If you just want to play old games. Dos super Nintendo stuff like that. There's well over 2,000 on demand over at the internet archive. It's called the internet arcade and it's completely free and legal it appears. https://archive.org/details/internetarcade They will run in your web browser and you can go full screen. I also have used controllers and it worked. But you're not going to find GameCube there lol. Source: almost 2 years ago
