VirtualBox 7:
Support for fully encrypted virtual hosts, experimental support for Apple Silicon processor Macs
When it comes to virtual machine software, our first reaction is often cross-platform VMware Player, Microsoft's own Hyper-V, and Parallels Desktop on a Mac.
However, most of the above virtual machines are commercial closed-source software. When it comes to open source virtual machine software, you have to mention the old VirtualBox.
Compared with the previous commercial virtual machine software / platform, VirtualBox may not be the best in performance, but the supported platform may be the most complete, you can install a variety of mainstream desktop operating systems in Windows, Linux and macOS, and even can be used to install Android and some ancient old operating systems, basically can meet the needs of most picky users in multi-system scenarios.
However, because it is open source software, the new version of VirtualBox is not developed quickly, and this time VirtualBox 7.0 is also the first major version update after four years, and it finally adds support for new systems and new hardware architectures.
First of all, the support of new hardware, VirtualBox 7.0 began to finally add support for Apple silicon hardware launched in 2020, and unlike the previous virtualization support through kernel extensions on macOS, this time it is completely based on Apple's hypervisor and vmnet framework, so the overall performance is not inferior to those commercial virtualization software currently appearing on macOS.
However, the current beta version of support for Apple silicon hardware is still relatively rudimentary, such as not yet able to support virtual running ARM64 version of Windows 11, and can not directly import .vhdx images like Parallels Desktop.
In fact, Apple's silicon version of VirtualBox 7 can only simulate a system running x86 / x64 through a soft interpretation, which shows how much it will degrade performance - if you have the need to run other operating systems on Apple silicon architecture Macs, then it will be better to choose other commercial virtualization software experience at this stage.
Automatic switching of input methods
Smart you know for sure that Mac can switch input methods through shortcut keys:
• control⌃ - space (10.11 or later systems)
However, we who are looking for efficiency (too lazy to be good) are not satisfied with shortcuts, we want to make the Mac feel like us: when we open an app, it can automatically switch to the input method we want. Can this idea be realized?
After turning on "Automatic Switch Input Method", click the icon in the upper right corner to set the default input method for the currently open app, and then restart the corresponding app, and the settings will take effect. From then on, the system will automatically switch the input method according to the switching of the app.
There are no extra functions, it's so simple and rude, hurry up to download and try it~
The APP Store searches for the input method to download.
Drafts v33 update: Deep adaptation for new systems
With its ongoing feature updates and keeping up with new features on iOS, Drafts has been one of the most popular note-taking tools in the Apple ecosystem, and recently released a v33 feature update, including several feature updates and iOS 16 new features and limited functionality.
The first is the new lock screen widget update for iOS 16, Drafts adds two new lock screen widgets, including quick draft creation directly from the lock screen, and a multi-function widget that can be manually set to display menu content such as the inbox.
Stay: Make your Safari use the Oiler Monkey script as well
If you often "toss" the browser, then you will be no stranger to the browser enhancement artifact Tampermonkey, by installing various scripts, we can further expand the functionality of the browser, especially in the domestic "full text must download App" "to download must use the client" Internet environment, the browser's enhancement script can indeed break through the restrictions to a certain extent, making the network more "unimpeded".
It's just that tools like Tampermonkey are only available on third-party browsers like Chrome or Firefox, and most of them can only be used in desktop browsers.
For example, the Safari browser on iOS is powerless, but we can use a third-party tool to run the oil monkey script in Safari on iOS, which is the protagonist Stay introduced today.
Thanks to Apple's ecosystem, Stay supports iPhone, iPad and Mac, as a browser script management tool, Stay 2 provides a fairly rich script import method, after installation, click + in the upper right corner of the management interface to add scripts, you can import through files, URLs, the most direct is to import directly from greasyfork.org, for "lazy people" like me, choose the most convenient to use after the script is imported.
Importing scripts is not complicated, first we need to activate the Stay extension in Safari, secondly, we select "Import from GreasyFork" in the Stay app, and then select the appropriate script in the script browser on the right, click "Install Script", then Stay will download the script, we only need to click "Create" in the upper right corner, then we can see the script we have installed in Stay, by default, Newly installed scripts will not be automatically enabled, so you need to click "Stopped" to "Activated" to activate the use.
