    1. it's not really surprising, been the "case" since the start of the M-series. 2. M4 only seems to beat other stuff in terms of battery life, efficiency, and performance in apps that are optimized for Apple stuff? there's a reason why gaming is still not popular on macOS...

    in their defense, you could just use something like 3rd-party drivers (like Turnip for Snapdragon 6/7/8xx or 6/7/8 Gen x, for example). Those things are used a lot by mobile gamers, particularly ones doing Nintendo Switch/PlayStation 2/Windows emulation.

    News Researchers 3D-print fully-functioning microscope in less than 3 hours — total system costs around $60, including lenses, camera, and Raspberry Pi

    the point of those 3D-printed microscopes is NOT replacing professional ones for laboratories doing serious research, it's for home/personal use, teaching kids how cells look like, or hospitals in poorer nations that cannot afford expensive equipment...
