This appears to only be in the Steam beta - the version available for download still requires Rosetta. There doesn't seem to be a direct download for the beta - you have to opt into it after installing Steam.

There are silver pro parts on the marketplace, although I'm not sure if they're more aimed at converting a standard 13 to a pro:

Re:The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe on Monday January 12, 2026 @07:11AM (#46587376)
Moving windows like this is already built into macOS but it's hidden behind a flag for some reason:

  defaults write -g NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture -bool true
You can then use Control+Command+Click to move windows from anywhere inside them. Sadly this doesn't provide resizing.
It appears to walk up from the process's working directory searching for a .git directory: https://github.com/pranshuparmar/witr/blob/1e47bdb8fde179b17...
From what I can tell, if you're running the latest security preview release[1] then it's already fixed: https://grapheneos.org/releases#2025120400

Re:GitLab discovers widespread NPM supply chain attack on Friday November 28, 2025 @06:18AM (#46077628)
Both of those have over >400 dependencies each [0] [1] but just in Rust instead - there hasn't been a Rust supply chain attack yet but is this any better? [2]

Admittedly you're not normally downloading the dependencies to your machine as you're often using pre-built binaries, but a malicious package could still run if a version was shipped with it.

There's Alexa+ [0] which uses generative AI but it's planned to be a paid option at $20/mo.

Monzo in the UK is basically app-only. They have an "emergency" web interface but it only allows read-only access (apart from un-freezing your card) and can only be used if you've used the app in the past 90 days.

Richard Stallman is pretty much already doing this!

I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me

Re:Introducing the RP2350 on Thursday August 08, 2024 @04:01PM (#41195601)
I'm most excited for the partition and address translation support - partitions can be mapped to the same address for A/B boot slots (and it supports "try before you buy" to boot into a slot temporarily). No more compiling two copies for the A and B slots (at different addresses)!
You don't even need to download anything - if you're using a supported browser you can just use the web installer (you can even use another Android phone!): https://grapheneos.org/install/web
Re:Gleam Version 1 on Monday March 04, 2024 @10:18AM (#39591465)
Looks like it's using the WebAssembly build of the compiler which compiles to JavaScript:

https://github.com/gleam-lang/language-tour/blob/6d69cee90a3...

Although currently it's running v0.34.1 and not v1.0.0 (there doesn't seem to be a v1.0.0 wasm build yet): https://github.com/gleam-lang/language-tour/blob/6d69cee90a3...
