macOS has no games. Apple: “here’s gaming mode!”

There is actually so much in Sonoma and tied to its release. Apple’s GPTK makes 90% of PC games playable. Sonoma also brings a slew of improvements to general rendering.

Using GPTK through Whiskey enabled me to play the Portal games again, games I've been unable to play since Apple ditched all 32 bit support and Steam didn't see the value in updating them. It's wonderful.
Grocery Lists in Reminders automatically group related items into sections as you add them
Unless it groups them by aisle, it better not touch my grocery list…
It does not and the feature is optional
The grouping is shit and in my opinion makes the list harder to parse. But it’s optional so no harm.
Hey Apple, how about you start putting proper GPUs in your computers first, before wasting time on this "Game Mode" nonsense. Software tricks are no replacement for silicon.
Their integrated graphics are apparently sufficient for a significant amount of games. I don’t think they’re going back to using third party gpus
Absolutely not. They’re not going to forfeit the massive battery life advantage from switching to ARM, nor do they want the heat from a dGPU cooking the batteries.
I have a 15" MacBook Air, which has the basic M2 chip. As of this weekend I've put just over 40 hours into No Man's Sky, running it at full native resolution on Ultra. An older game now, sure, but it's still pretty heavy.
My Mac has no fan, and still barely breaks a sweat. I've been blown away by what it can do.
