Exchange Rather Than Buy
A growing number of apps encourage people to reuse items rather than buy new ones.
The recently released app, Sojo, works by connecting its users to tailors so clothing can be repaired instead of thrown out. It’s one of many apps intended to help keep people from spending too much money during lean economic times. The software also could help the environment by reducing waste, observers say.

"Reuse is one of the foundational pillars of sustainability," Tato Bigio, CEO of UBQ Materials, a company that claims to turn waste into climate-friendly plastic, said in an email interview.

"By extending the life cycle of a product or good, you optimize the finite natural resources that were used in its production and avoid contributing to further depletion of those same resources for new production."

The idea behind Sojo is that people waste too much money and resources on buying new clothes with the proliferation of fast-fashion chains. Sojo connects users to local tailors through its app and bicycle delivery service, so people can get their clothes altered or repaired with a few clicks.
"We need to invest maximum effort in reducing the outrageous amount of fast production in all areas of life: from food to clothing to furniture to electronics."

"It’s fair to say we’re being fed a culture of overconsumption—leading us into a constant desire for more in a way that tells us that nothing you buy will ever be enough," the company wrote on its website.

"New clothes, new nails, new house accessories, the list goes on. It can undeniably be described as toxic consumerism, given its negative impact on both the environment and our own mental wellbeing."

Many apps let you do everything from donate unwanted food to find used but serviceable household goods, including computers.

"We need to invest maximum effort in reducing the outrageous amount of fast production in all areas of life: from food to clothing to furniture to electronics," Silvia Borges, editor of the website EnviroMom, said in an email interview.
Borges recommends the app OLIO, which initially was designed as a food-sharing service. You can upload a photo of any surplus food, get requests from other users who need it, select a pickup location, and leave a review after it’s done.

"They also branched out to practically everything that’s legal, including pet food, clothing, household items, plants, and crafts," Borges said. "So you can use it for sharing items that won't go bad if nobody can make it to your location within hours."Bigio said Facebook Marketplace is his personal favorite to find gently used items. "Not only is the inventory diverse and constantly changing, but the transactions are also generally hyper-local, which saves the tacked-on carbon footprint of shipping," he added.
Some New Yorkers rushed to leave the city during the coronavirus pandemic, leaving behind a treasure trove of used furniture and other items, free for takers on the streets.

Many residents turned to the Instagram Curb Alert NYC, which posts pictures of discarded objects and where to scoop them up. Another popular New York City Instagram account for items that have been thrown out is Stooping NYC, which goes by the tagline "One person’s trash is another person’s treasure!"

There are also a growing number of apps that let you exchange things with people nearby. For example, there’s the app MyNabes, which allows you to exchange services and items. The app encourages people to share things like gardening tools, rather than buying them.

"By borrowing tools from our neighbors, like a drill or a lawnmower, instead of buying new ones, or by donating or exchanging something instead of throwing it away, we help reduce consumption, and therefore we help our planet a little,” Elodie Bottine, CEO of MyNabes, said in an email interview.

An app that is similar to MyNabes, but incentivizes sharing with cash, is Yoodlize. It’s a rental platform where people can rent items to and from people in their local area (think Airbnb for your stuff).

"The Yoodlize app allows people to rent a huge variety of items from others in their communities," Yoodlize CEO Jason Fairbourne said in an email interview. "This keeps stuff out of landfills, and in fact, it keeps new stuff from ever having to be produced in the first place."

Could Parallels run Windows faster on M1 Macs than on PCs? Maybe, but not legally. Yet.
Parallels is software that lets you virtually run other operating systems on your Mac. Instead of booting up a PC, you could just double-click and launch a Windows PC right there on your Mac, and it could do everything a “real” PC could do. Now, Parallels runs on Apple Silicon, so you can use it on your M1 Mac.

“The Apple M1 is capable of running Windows 10 on ARM almost two times faster than Microsoft's own hardware,” Bram Jansen, chief editor at tech site VPN Alert, told Lifewire via email. “The Apple M1 runs Windows 10 even faster than the Surface Pro X, which runs the OS natively and has a Snapdragon 8cx-based CPU. The M1 processor is built on the ARM architecture.”

Parallels is virtualization software, not emulation software. An emulator recreates a piece of hardware as an app. For instance, a SNES game console emulator is an app that creates a software version of the game console, with all circuits mimicked as code. You can then run an original game ROM on that machine, and the game won’t know the difference.

Virtualization is different. It only runs software on hardware that also could run it natively. For instance, the old Intel Macs also could run Windows. You’d just install it like on any other PC. All Parallels does is allow Windows to run inside an app window in macOS, instead of having to reboot into Windows. Virtualization is also faster than emulation for this reason.

And it’s not just Windows. You can virtualize other operating systems, most likely a version of Linux. In fact, right now you cannot legally use Windows on an ARM Mac, because Microsoft doesn’t yet offer a license to do so.

Speed
Officially, Parallels lets you run Windows or Linux on your Mac at “native” speeds. That just means it runs at a speed comparable to if you installed Windows the old-fashioned way. But how about real-world use?

Apple’s M1 Macs are far ahead of Intel’s x86 chips in terms of both performance and power use. So how fast does Windows run on an M1 Mac? The answer is, pretty fast.

Parallels’ official numbers are impressive. They say M1 Macs use 250% less energy than a 2020 Intel MacBook Air, and get up to 60% better DirectX 11 performance than an Intel MacBook Pro. And running Windows on an M1 Mac? Thirty-percent faster than running it on a Core i9 Intel MacBook Pro.
In other words, it’s fast. More than fast enough to get your work done. But there are some hitches.

ARMed and Ready
To install Windows in Parallels, you have to first track down a version of Windows built for ARM, so it actually can run on your ARM-based Mac. Technically, you’re not allowed to install it, because Windows 10 on ARM is only available pre-installed on computers. However, you can sign up for Microsoft’s Windows Insider program and download a copy from there.

Even then, you may be unable to run the Windows apps you want.
