I have Ipod Touch and I want to play videos on it the problem most of the videos I have are in either MKV or AVI format and Ipod touch doesnt support that so I tried converting them to mp4 with a program called "Cucusoft Ultimate DVD + Video Converter Suite" while the program worked but left the subtitle unreadable ...is there a program that will show the subtitle for my anime series to appear clearly?

my second question is about imac.....can I play games like I do on the PC? can I upgrade my gfx card anytime I want?

Are you using an Mac for the video conversion? If so look into Visual Hub or Hand brake both will convert the files you have to iPod touch playable files.

You can play games on the iMac, some games will not run great but they will run. If you looking for a gaming desktop then stick with a PC or go the route of the Mac Pro. You can't upgrade the video card in the iMacs, but if you got the Mac Pro you could but they cost around 3k dollars

I'm not sure about the first question. The only option that springs to mind is manually adding in the subtitles by editing the movie. Not the best option, as it'll take ages to do.

As for the second question, yes and no. You can play games on the Mac, if they're made for the Mac, or they're universal games, meaning they can be played on PC and Mac. You'll have to find a list somewhere that shows games available for Mac. I think Apple has a list on their site.

If the Anime in question is softsubbed then you can just increase the font size. If it's hardsubbed, no luck :(

Erm, You know you can run Windows on a Mac now right? And you can also render 3D games like Quake 4 inside a virtual machine technically making any game run on a Mac :D

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
