In the House of the Dragon season 3 finale, Rhaenyra delivers a messianic speech outside the Sept, declaring herself the realm’s savior, a deliberate echo of Daenerys’ arc in Game of Thrones, as showrunner Ryan Condal notes the parallels are intentional to link the two eras and explore themes of prophecy, power, and tyranny, with Daemon’s vision underscoring their shared fate as the story moves toward its conclusion.
Parallels Desktop can run Windows 11 on Apple’s MacBook Neo via virtualization, and it’s deemed suitable for lightweight tasks like document editing and basic apps. The Neo’s 8GB unified memory is the minimum practical configuration, and while single-core Windows performance is competitive, sustained multi-core workloads and RAM-heavy tasks (CAD/3D, heavy data tools) suffer. ARM-based Windows emulation adds overhead, making the Neo a poor fit for heavier workloads; overall, it’s viable for light productivity but not for demanding software.
MacBook Neo ($599) running Windows 11 in Parallels on an Apple A18 Pro reportedly posts about 20% higher single‑core benchmarks than a Dell Pro 14 with native Windows 11 across Geekbench, PassMark, 3DMark, PCMark, Blender and Unigine; however, for typical office workloads its overall performance is roughly 20% slower than the Dell’s native Windows performance, though Parallels says the setup remains responsive for everyday tasks.
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow is launching a new podcast, "Déjà News," which will explore news stories from the past that have notable parallels with the present. The six-episode limited series will feature Maddow's signature monologues to set up the story, with longtime producer Isaac-Davy Aronson guiding the listener through the history. Maddow's previous podcasts have been hits, with "Bag Man" and "Ultra" leading to feature adaptations.
