If you have any information on the historical background, I would like to know. Even if it's just gossip that doesn't have any evidence left, I'd be glad to know if you remember it.

TL;DR: Miss the Transcend/BaseQI SD drive you had in your old MBP? This Adapter sits flush with the edge of my 2021 16" MBP M1 Max.
I just recently upgraded from a 2015 RMP to a 16" M1 Max. I used a Transcend jet drive SD card for Downloads, photo library, iCloud, etc. It provided seamless offloading of files that weren't workflow-critical/backed up across machines, and took pressure off my 512GB SSD. Given the cost of SSD upgrades in the new MBPros and the (re)inclusion of an SD card slot, I wanted to repeat this great bang-for-buck upgrade. But the slot in the new Macs is shallower than that of my RMBP. So I did some digging and finally found a card that works quite well -- IMO even better than the jet drive , if you prefer a card that is flush with the edge of the machine.
This BaseQi adapter was made to flush-mount Micro SD cards into early Raspberry Pis (new ones use MicroSD). But SD slots are SD slots (please come at me SD consortium working group fanboi) , and at 16mm high, it's the perfect height to sit flush with the side of the M1. It's also super-cheap at ~$15. I glued a very thin ribbon to the top of mine (and then sanded that down some more) to provide a little pull-tag. You don't need this, though, if you're comfortable pulling the card out with some fine tweezers. it's flush, so you can't lose it, and there's room on either side to gently pull it out.
I've been using this for about a week, and the SD drive seems to work seamlessly under monterey, with no issues going to sleep or waking mounted. It just looks like a second internal drive that lets you expand internal storage economically.
Finally, if you do something like this, use a quality SD card, and don't use it for working files. SD cards aren't made to be written to as frequently as SSDs are, so files that don't change a lot, or that aren't mission-critical are a good fit. That said, mine got used daily for 4+ years and never complained. Anyway, PSA, YMMV, etc. Happy Holidays!
Good news, I guess?

Firstly, I hope this post is alright to make for this topic.
I am trying to get this source-port to work. Not only was it a bit of a pain to even get it to actually run, but there is an issue I am unsure how to fix. The sound plays quickly, almost high-pitched and squeaky. I am not seeing any other users out there with this issue, sans one on GOG forums who never got a response, and that was four months ago. Music plays fine. There are no options in-game to adjust besides sound volume.
Anyone using this port and gotten the issue or have any ideas on how to fix? The github had one mention of a sound issue but no responses since posting.
For those unaware, here is the link for the port. It runs like a dream otherwise. A popular boomershooter youtuber tried the port so I may try asking on his subreddit:
It's not exactly a new app (it has existed for over 5 years now), but I never really promoted it anywhere, so here goes:
When it became clear that Apple would eventually drop 32-bit apps and didn't plan on updating QuickTime Player 7, I started development on this replacement MIDI player. As a hobbyist music person, having MIDI playback was pretty important to me, and all the other apps that did it were either too expensive, mediocre, or both.
It's written in Swift, uses AppKit for its UI, and requires macOS Catalina or later to run.
The latest (notarized) release is here, along with the source code to the app: https://github.com/SamusAranX/MinimalMIDIPlayer/releases/tag/v1.12-final
If you're still running High Sierra or Mojave for some reason, you'll want v1.11.1 instead.
Note that you'll miss out on bugfixes and the auto updater if you use this.
Screenshots and known issues are in the readme file in the repository: https://github.com/SamusAranX/MinimalMIDIPlayer
Bonus content: Look how far the app has come:

Hello all!
I'm starting to curate all the website feeds that I follow now and before I used a service called Feedly after Google Reader got axed. I am wondering if there is any alternative now that is better than Feedly? I've heard many great things about Inoreader, however I am not sure.

Unreal Tournament is a first-person shooter video game developed by Epic Games and Digital Extremes. The second installment in the Unreal series, it was first published by GT Interactive in 1999 for Microsoft Windows, and later released on the PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast by Infogrames in 2000 and 2001, respectively. Players compete in a series of matches of various types, with the general aim of out-killing opponents.
OldUnreal took over maintenance of the Unreal Tournament code base after reaching an agreement with Epic Games in 2019.

JavaFX is the user interface framework that extends Java. On top of JavaFX, Almas Baimagambetov has created FXGL which is a gaming framework. A few days ago, he published a "flappy bird"-like demo application and you really have to check it out. The code needed to build this is really amazing limited!

Just as the title says, I've made a full length album on Linux! I use Zorin as my OS, combined with Linux native reaper for tracking all live instruments- and Ableton Live 10 suite running through wine for mix and master! I use carla as an FX rack in reaper along with Tonelib GFX for all of my amp modeling. Now I will say that I used my Windows PC for a few touchups on mastering some of these songs, but all guitars/ bass guitars you hear on the album were recorded live on Linux native reaper!!
Here is a link for Spotify where you can listen to the whole album for free! The album is also available on nearly all major streaming services if you prefer to use something else: iTunes/Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon, Yandex, Pandora, Tencent, NetEase, Xiami, Uma, TikTok, and Deezer! Simply type in my band name "Final Boss" in the search and look for the album art you see on this post!!
I have dedicated a ton of time into this new release, I promised myself that I wouldn't rush this release and I truly believe it has paid off!!
As the release day drew near, I had recieved the unfortunate news of my favorite rapper passing away.. In my dedication to my pursuit of music and happiness!! I dedicate my newest album release to the madvillain himself!! I would say that my stylings and influences greatly stem from this marvel of lyrical genius! I Truly hope it shines as bright as he did one day!!! Long live MF DOOM!!!!!
The included album art was also made by me using Affinity Photo! If anyone knows how to get Affinity working on Linux please let me know!! I have been unsuccessful at all my attempts to get it to run..
I apologize for the long winded post, and I want to thank anyone that took the time to read through it and/ or took the time to listen to the album!!!
Thank you!!
Learn from each other, Love one another, and Create the world!! -Final Boss
