How to get Apple peripherals to work on a Windows PC

Published: 8 February, 2024

This guide will help you get your Apple Studio Display, ProDisplay XDR, Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, etc. to work with a Windows 11 PC that doesn’t have native support for BootCamp. I wrote this guide because most methods that I could find elsewhere were either out of date, had sketchy download links, had compatibility issues with Windows 11 version 23H2, didn't support Windows Precision Touchpad, didn’t support all the modules in the BootCamp app, or didn’t explain how to get the most up to date Apple official drivers.

Please note that to get Apple displays to work will require either a thunderbolt output from your graphics card or the right DisplayPort to USB-C cable. Please refer to other guides elsewhere to find out what hardware you’ll need.

function getCSSTransitionDuration ({
	element,
	ms = false
}) {
	return (parseFloat(window.getComputedStyle(element).transitionDuration)) * (ms ? 1000 : 1)
}

getCSSTransitionDuration({
	element: document.querySelector('header')
}); //0.25

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}

If you’re anything like me who didn't want to pay for github before their new business strategy, then most likely you use BitBucket or hosted your own (come ‘on, it was free!). Problem with that is now your activities or contributions are fragmented between the different services. Now that I've chosen GitHub, I found myself migrating the git repos. 

Here is my copy and paste script I use for migration which also carries your history, which without it, defeats the purpose of it!


$ cd ~/Sites/repo-directory
$ git remote rename origin bitbucket
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:JMichaelVelasquez-change-user/your-new-repo.git
$ git push origin master

    global $pagenow;
    
    if ($pagenow === 'edit-comments.php') {
        wp_redirect(admin_url());
        exit;
    }
