Apple Enabled Thousands of Windows games on MacOS

Apple has created a new Game Porting Toolkit that’s similar to the Proton. Game Porting Kit will instantly translate Windows games to run on macOS

Video shows Cyberpunk running on MacOS in 4K at MAX settings

The toolkit translates Intel-based x86 instructions and Windows APIs to Apple Silicon instead.
APIs related to keyboard, mouse, controller input, audio, networking, the file system, Direct3D are all translated to the corresponding APIs in macOS.

The result is Windows games running on macOS WITHOUT any porting or modification. This Game Porting Toolkit even supports DirectX 12 games.
Games like Hogwart Legacy, Diablo Immortal, CyberPunk now easily playable on MacOs

MacOS users can themselves try these games on MacOS by just installing Gaming Port Kit. But the games will NOT be optimized through this tool and performance issues and bugs would be there until developers create their own ports.

People wearing Spectacles will requires ZEISS Lenses to use Apple Vision Pro

At WWDC event while launching Apple XR Headset i.e Vision Pro, it was announced that Apple is in partnership with ZEISS to produce vision-correction lenses for the Vision Pro, specifically for users who wear glasses/ spectacles

However pricing of ZEISS correction Lenses for Vision Pro were not announced neither by Apple nor by ZEISS

NOW, leaker Mark Gurman guesses that ZEISS lenses for the Vision Pro could cost between $300 and $600.
So for users with glasses , Vision Pro would cost them 4000$

It makes sense as Apple sells just 4 wheels for Mac Pro at 300$ and for Mac Studio it costs 699$

ZEISS also makes correction lenses for other VR headsets and they falls in €70-€100 range

BBK separated OnePlus, Oppo and Realme which is pretty BAD

BBK Electronics (parent company of Oppo, OnePlus & Realme ) separated 3 brands into 3 separate entities in India and China
Vivo already operates as Independent Brand

BBK is concerned about Indian government taking action on Chinese brands.
Oppo was accused for custom duty evasion of ₹4,388 crores (~$525Million)

If action against Oppo, it will impact Realme, OnePlus too, hence separated them
Now Oppo India will look after only its own sales. Same applies to OnePlus and Realme

BBK did it in China too.
Earlier, it was just BBK -> Oppo .

Now, Oplus holdings is major shareholder of OnePlus, Oppo and Realme in China.
BBK acts as management of Oplus holdings.

So BBK now INDIRECTLY manages all 3 brands

Now if BBK gets Sanction; Oppo, OnePlus , Realme will remain UNAFFECTED as they are independent.
Also it will help BBK in Tax evasions

Same they doing it in India to help in tax evasion while brands remains unaffected
