Thanks to Whiskey, You Will Be Gaming on Your Mac More Than Ever

The image shows a dimly lit bar scene, with shelves of liquor bottles blurred in the background. In the foreground, a bottle of whisky, a glass of amber liquid, and a laptop displaying a pixelated video game are arranged on a wooden surface. The laptop's screen showcases a scene seemingly from a retro-style role-playing game, vibrant colours adding a touch of fantasy to the otherwise mature environment. The bar's soft lighting creates a warm, inviting ambiance, contrasting with the focus on the digital world displayed on the screen.
Whiskey is a free app that you can download right now, and use to play Windows games on your Mac. It brings together the WINE compatibility layer as well as Apple’s own Game Porting Kit, while removing all the nerdy setup and hassle involved with both.

So it seems that Whiskey is stronger than WINE!

It seems to be a bit like the Bottles app on Linux. In my own case, Steam on Linux is playing most games that I want to play, but if you want to play games that are not on Steam, then I suppose Whiskey and similar apps would be the way to go.

Philippines team add hypergravity for stronger bone cells

Philippines’ research team with Large Diameter Centrifuge

A team of researchers from two universities in the Philippines made use of ESA’s Large Diameter Centrifuge to test the growth of bone cells in hypergravity. The results of their experiment could improve bone implant technology, as well as help support seaweed farming communities across the country.

GRC’s DNS Benchmark software is getting a new version after 15 years

The image shows a computer screen displaying the DNS Benchmark software. The foreground is dominated by a detailed graphical representation of DNS server response times, with various IP addresses and their corresponding performance metrics clearly visible. In the background, the software's interface is evident, with tabs for 'Introduction', 'Nameservers', 'Tabular Data', and 'Conclusions' clearly displayed. The software's version number (1.3.6668.0) and copyright date (2010) suggest it may be an older version of the software. The specific selection of DNS servers being tested is indicative of a purposeful activity rather than random testing.
Seems that v1, which is now 15 years old and nearly 10 million downloads, still gets downloaded over 1,000 times daily. But it has needed a fresh for a while now. IPv6 is here as well as encrypted DoH, DoT, DoQ, etc.

There is a roadmap published at the link below outlining what the planned new features look like. There will still be a free version with some new features, but there are also Plus and Pro versions that have a once-off fee, but do include all future updates.

Although it was (and still will e) written to work on Windows OS, it will be fully compatible to run under WINE on Linux.

So hopefully this will be available sometime later in 2025.
