Another nail in the coffin for Intel-based Macs.

According to MacRumors, Apple gave macOS app developers permission to drop support for Intel-based Macs, which got their final OS update last year with macOS Tahoe. Intel Macs won’t get updates for any apps that drop support, but as MacRumors notes, the last compatible version of those apps will continue working.

Razer’s new Prio mobile controller folds down to the size of a wallet.

The $99 Prio squeezes full-size controls into a design that spins around and folds in half clamshell-style, and supports phones up to seven inches. It doesn’t look as comfortable as my Razer Kishi Ultra, but it’s definitely more portable.
