Download doesn't seem to work. The VMware download area closed in late April, and can't seem to download Fusion now. The replacement store doesn't seem to be available yet.

I'm using Parallels and it is great on an Apple Silicon Mac, but I'm a long-time VMware Workstation and Fusion user, so I'd like to try it again.


As a paying Workstation customer, I had to install it from scratch the other day and couldn't find a binary anywhere. I eventually found an old installer on archive.org (!) and settled for that. Grateful to whoever had the foresight to point the Wayback Machine at VMWare's CDN before it was too late.


And we paying customers did buy a perpetual licence. Better archive that download and save your key somewhere…


You have to go over to Broadcom website. The VMware store is still down.


Loading time is not an issue for me. I run tmux so my sessions stay alive and performance is very quick. M2 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM, using Warp terminal. Using OMZ with Dracula Theme and mosh for remote servers.


Electric car range varies widely depending on how you use it and conditions, regardless of which car brand or model you use. Our family has a Nissan Leaf and a Tesla Model 3 and both ranges vary widely depending on how you drive.

Driving at 80mph on a highway will greatly reduce the range of any EV, compared to 45 mph. Using high-draw features like heating (also depends on the type of heating used) will also drain the battery faster.

Cold temperatures also reduce range, but it depends on the EV. Teslas cool or heat the battery to keep an optimal battery temperature. Nissan Leaf uses air cooling, which means repeated supercharging in hot weather overheats the battery, so they cannot make long trips. So Teslas are less affected by hot and cold temperatures than some other EVs. So it depends on the EV.

EV users need to educate themselves on how electric cars operate regarding range. It's not unique to Tesla by any means.


It's not exclusive to EVs either.

ICE, and hybrid ICE, can all be more efficient depending how well you match its optimal driving profile.


Wow this article is so wrong in my experience. $50/month for my Nissan Leaf vs $200/month for a Honda CR-V, charging at home.


This looks interesting, but a better option in my opinion is to use the Local app (on Mac) to install a lightweight VM running WordPress in seconds. Then you have all the tools, for example phpmyadmin and MySQL database management, all running locally on your Mac, and with Internet access. Open Source and free to use.

This is exactly why I stopped using Linux as my personal computer many, many years ago. I could do it, yes, but just got tired of spending hours fixing random weirdness. I have work to do! Love, love love it on servers, and have many. But I use macOS on my Mac and everything runs smoothly for me…


I meant to add that Luma Fusion also runs on the M1/M2 Mac as well as iPad.


Pay the cancellation fee and learn from it, to read the terms and conditions before you buy.

Then in the future, depending on your needs, use alternative applications, like many of the excellent Affinity programs such as Affinity Photo (vs Adobe Photoshop), Affinity Designer (vs Adobe Illustrator), etc. that are an affordable one-time purchase. Likewise Luma Fusion video editor (on iPad) instead of Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut.


> to read the terms and conditions before you buy

No need to go that far, you just have to read the very obvious part that says it's an annual subscription. This thread is baffling.


And did you report it to Tesla by pressing the button on the screen?

I thought not.

Oh wait, they didn't actually turn on Full Self Driving, so the whole "test" is bogus.

Disingenuous.


I’ve run the Windows ARM beta on my M1 MacBook Pro 13” and it boots quickly, runs fast and well, under Parallels. Office works good too. I had assumed that since this was a beta, that a regular ARM release would be coming soon, but apparently not? I use it to test compatibility for websites in Windows web browsers. They all work fine too.


It had been reported that supposedly Microsoft has a secret exclusivity deal with Qualcomm for Windows ARM to only ship with Qualcomm-powered devices.
