For the Macheisters


Recommended Posts

Looks like Macheist has another one planned to start tomorrow. Not sure if it is Macheist 4 or something related to Halloween or the holidays.

If you are into Macheist, should go in tomorrow or today for some teasers.

If you are not familiar with it, they give away thousands of dollars in software for a low price like $39 or less. I got some high quality software earlier this year through it and it is a good system. They donate money to charity from proceeds as well as entertain your brain with puzzles to solve to get more programs for free. :)

Have fun!

Picked my copy up last night. It took long enough for them to open up the heist but it did eventually happen. 5 days until another one happens apparently. There is still time to pick up your copy if you want it. :)

How do I solve the puzzle? I can't figure out what to do...

If you really want to know, I can PM you the info, but that would take the fun out of it. :) However, take a look at Twitter at this link. There is a major clue there. :)

Thanks for the heads up. They didn't email me, and I'm part of the email list.

No problem. I have been following their Twitter and got the info there. They don't tweet except during that time so it does pay to monitor it every so often. :)

You click the twitter button, tweet the message they put into your message box for you, and then go back to the page to click the link that is now enabled to let you download the program. The serial is in your loot, afterwards.

Don't even have to tweet it. :p Just click the button then return to the page.

The NanoBundle is up... 6 'top' mac apps worth $154 for FREE...

Shovebox, Writeroom, Twitterific, Tinygrab, Hordes of Orcs, Mariner Write

Mariner Write will only be unlocked after the 500,000th bundle download 'participant'...

Only 6 days to go!

Overall some pretty cool apps in the bundle this time around. I sort of relate it to their Christmas Giving Tree they had last year. There are some utilities I will use now and some later in this bundle. Since it is software being given away for free, I can't complain and like others am archiving it with my serial numbers and will have them ready if needed later on.

WriteRoom should be free anyway :p

I want TinyGrab since GrabUp hasn't been updated for Snow Leopard. Apparently I need to wait for my license to come through, or something.

Re-check your receipt, it should be there now, Mine didn't appear on my receipt until the day after!

We are on our way to the 6th app unlock... it needs 500,000 and we are on 134,000... I'm not too sure it will be unlocked 5 days left! :s

Yeah cheers, got it working now, and it uploads to my server just fine. Woot.

Grab these apps while the heist it's on guys. We need to reach the 500,000 mark in two days in order to also get Mariner Write for free.

Damn, didn't notice the other thread. You can close this one :/

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
    • Gotta' buy that there Rufus guy a beer if I ever meet him. He makes good stuff.
