macOS wifi ping spikes
Hey Apple devs,Has anyone encountered ping spikes on macOS when using WiFi? When you run a constant ping, it looks like this…64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=502 ttl=128 time=1.443 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=503 ttl=128 time=3.007 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=504 ttl=128 time=1.684 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=505 ttl=128 time=186.861 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=506 ttl=128 time=69.545 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=507 ttl=128 time=141.434 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=508 ttl=128 time=24.043 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=509 ttl=128 time=2.961 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=510 ttl=128 time=1.827 ms64 bytes from 192.168.0.30: icmp_seq=511 ttl=128 time=1.171 msSeems to happen reliably when you open the WiFi menu bar on High Sierra. Other apps can cause this too.I think others are seeing this issue too (especially gamers):https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/263638/macbook-pro-experiencing-ping-spikes-to-local-routerAs well as games, real time network apps like Synergy suffer too:https://symless.com/help/mac-wifi-lagCheers,Nick

New macOS native VM - Curious resolution selection
Neat, looks like macOS Sonoma has native virtualisation now. You have to build a Swift app, which is a bit weird, but it works, and on an M1 chip. One thing though... here's a screenshot of the Displays screen in Settings: Curious why these two resolutions were decided. My host screen is 1920 x 1080, so one resolution is far too high, and the other is just a bit too small. Something in between would be nice! Here’s the guide if anyone wants to have a go: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/running_macos_in_a_virtual_machine_on_apple_silicon You’ll need macOS 14 Sonoma and Xcode 15 beta
