Microsoft to Support Windows 11 on New Macs Through Parallels

Microsoft has introduced an official solution for supporting Windows 11 on Apple M1 and M2 Macs, authorizing Parallels‘ Desktop version 18 to run the operating system in a virtual environment on the newer Apple devices. The latest version of Parallels Desktop allows users to easily download Windows 11 online, granting access to over 200,000 apps without needing to reboot. Users can copy and paste text as well as drag and drop files between the virtual environment and the Mac desktop. However, it’s important to note that the Arm (Advanced RISC Machine) version of Windows 11 in the virtual environment comes with certain limitations that can impact the user’s ability to use various hardware, games, and apps. DirectX 12 in particular, which is frequently used in Windows games is not supported. With Apple yet to integrate Boot Camp onto its M1 or M2 macs, the solution fills a much-needed niche. The Parallels Desktop 18 for Mac is now available for trial and download. More details and solutions such as Windows 365 Cloud PC can be found on this Microsoft support blog.

PHARREL WILLIAMS x RICHARD MILLE ON $969,000 USD RM 52-05 WATCH

After over a decade of supporting the Richard Mille brand, Pharrell Williams has finally received his official signature watch. The RM 52-05 Tourbillon celebrates Pharrell’s love for space and fascination with the cosmos. The watch harnesses three main techniques from the watch brand in the form of engraving, enameling, and painting. Looking at the dial, these techniques are applied to an astronaut design where grade 5 titanium is met with white diamonds, black sapphires, 5N gold, and grand-feu-enameling — decorating the space helmet takes 15 hours alone. The caseback reveals the baseplate and bridge made from Grade 5 titanium (90% titanium, 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium) which is the same material used in the aerospace and aeronautics industry. Looking deeper you will also find dazzling blue aventurine glass that gives off the appearance of stars in the night sky thanks to the inclusion of hexagonal copper crystals. Powered by a CALIBRE RM52-05, the watch features a fast rotating barrel, a tourbillon, 50 meters of water resistance, 19 jewels, 42 hours of power reserve, and beats at 21,600 VPH. Functionality is kept minimal with only an hour and minutes display; allowing the artwork on the dial to be admired without distractions. Those interested will have to get in line as this watch is limited to 30 pieces and will most likely be trading much higher than its retail price of $969,000 USD. Head over to Richard Millefor more information.   View this post on Instagram introducing the RM 52-05, my collaboration with @richardmilleofficial a masterpiece conjuring our visions, fantasies, and imaginary projections into a pure contemporary and technical tourbillon calibre.
