Re: why developers should port their games to the Mac
@SLJ I will, like last time, actually take the time to address some of your concerns. At least the ones that I have a definitive for.
Then, how do I navigate a website heading by heading or link by link just with one hand by using the arrow keys, in Windows?
ObjPad for NVDA. Yes, it's an addon, that makes the arrow keys behave in different modes depending on what mode you have selected. You have normal mode, object mode which lets you flat-review with just the arrow keys which, in a way, it almost exactly like voiceover, then you have the mode we all want to hear about, web mode. Up and down arrow keys change navigation level, left and right actually move you by that navigation level. You have the ability to change the mode select key command, which is good as the initial mode select gesture (ctrl+nvda+tab) isn't exactly one-hand friendly.
Audio Hijack is where the mac will definitely shine, however I'd say if you already have a mac, i.e I personally wouldn't impulse-buy a mac just for Audio Hijack, just as when funds are tight I would rather take the time to learn Reaper than do Garageband. Matter of fact the transition from Goldwave to Garageband was initially confusing for me because the simplicity of keyboard gestures wasn't there, i.e a plain windows with everything nicely laid out in menus or accessible via keyboard shortcuts. I eventually got used to it just fine, but your situation involving it being confusing to transition from Garageband to REaper is exactly the same. You got used to one thing, and aren't really up to learning another.
How do I make a Windows run so stable that the computer don't need to be restarted for three months like my Mac?
Ok, have you ever used a windows machine with an ssd? That's not rhetorical, that's an honest question, as hdd's in general are rather unstable. Before I upgraded my hd on the mac, I was forced to run my virtual machine on the seagate drive I had. No, it wasn't a backup plus slim, it was a repurposed brand new desktop sshd (hdd with a small amount of nandflash) that I had put into a USB Sata enclosure. So it wasn't 5400rpm, it clearly was 7200, so I thought it would be fine. It absolutely wasn't. Virtual machine would crash on the daily, you were lucky if it even ran fast for more than a day, and I was constricted to Windows XP just because of the hdd, windows 10 was an absolute trainwreck on there. Never mind the fact my machine has 8gb ram and the 2.7ghz intel core i5 (don't ask, it was the highest mbp2015 they offered me at the store and I couldn't go higher.) But 8gb of ram is pretty high-end anyhow.
Once I got my Transcend Jetdrive 820 internal ssd which upgraded my mac from 128gb to 480gb, I was able to store my virtual machines on the ssd and they have been able to run for several days at a time. And windows 10 even runs decently well on there too, though XP is still my energy-efficient choice if I'm running off battery. So if a virtual machine can run well on an hdd, then Windows on its own definitely can. Now, here's what's having me hold on to the mac. I haven't found a windows machine that has a pciE gen3x2 bus for the hard drive. Which again proves my point that it's the software i have a problem with, the internal hardware is fantastic.
