Sonos Amp Multi: a hidden, install-first amplifier powered by a steadfast app

Sonos unveils Amp Multi, a wall-friendly eight-channel amplifier meant to be the wired hub of a whole-home system. It has no built-in controls and is controlled entirely through the Sonos app, with setup handled by an installer. The unit supports wired ethernet or Wi‑Fi, Apple AirPlay and other streaming options, and features like ProTune EQ. The major caveat is that its success hinges on a stable app experience, given ongoing prior app issues, and pricing is determined during installation.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Requires Online Connection and Patch for Physical Edition Owners

The physical edition of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora requires an online connection to install, as confirmed by a Reddit user who received an early copy of the game. Attempts to play the game offline resulted in a logo image and release date display, indicating that the game won't continue until it's been verified online. While this requirement may not affect most players, it raises concerns about long-term preservation and the game's playability when servers are eventually turned off. It remains unclear if subsequent releases will remove this online connection requirement.

Running New macOS Versions on Older Macs: OpenCore Guide

Apple removes support for older Mac hardware in new macOS releases, but the Hackintosh community has found a way to run modern versions of macOS on older Macs using OpenCore. OpenCore is a boot loader that modifies the boot blocks on a PC's storage device to allow the startup of multiple operating systems. The OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OLP) from dortania is a recommended tool for installing and running macOS versions back to Big Sur on Intel-based Macs as old as 2008 and later. However, using OpenCore and modified versions of the macOS installer may violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and can be unstable, so caution is advised.

Titled "From the Knees of my Nose to the Belly of my Toes," the installation features a new frontage that curves outwards, leaving the crumbling top story exposed and the bottom section lying flat in front of the house. The project was made possible through collaboration with British industry members who donated materials.
