  • Apple Silicon MacBook Pro and AirPods event is on October 18

    If you watch the various computer hardware/PC builder channels on YouTube, you will see an entire industry in denial. They are trying to squeeze every last drop of precious performance out of their x86 CPUs by water cooling them, immersing them in liquid nitrogen or using fans usually reserved for Boeing 747s. Meanwhile, the M1 Mac Mini is quietly getting better single core performance than most of them. Whenever a Geekbench score is mentioned comparing the latest AMD to Intel, I have to ask "but what about the Apple M1?" I am ignored of course because that's not something they want to consider. In truth the entire PC industry is about to be turned upside down by the M1X, M2 and then, perhaps, the next generation of ARM processors in about two years when NVIDIA has had a chance to catch up with Apple. Microsoft appears to be well aware of this fact. They got that little memo from Apple saying that Windows ARM emulation speed is a Microsoft problem to solve. Recent build of Windows 11 for Arm are working quite well. Seeing GTA V playing at decent frame rates on the Mac Mini in Parallels is quite literally a game changer.

  • HyperDrive iMac Hub review: More ports on the front of the 24-inch iMac

    If all you care about are USB-C ports then this $80 device gives you exactly one more as it removes one port in the back.

  • Apple backs down on CSAM features, postpones launch

    Did Apple ever explain in easy to understand language how a human can review the photos if they are encrypted and private? Which is it? Reviewable by humans or encrypted? It can't be both.
    Encrypted but with keys held by Apple, so that the images can be decrypted on-demand.
    So not encrypted then?
    Would Apple agree to upload all their source code to GitHub where it is encrypted but GitHub holds the keys so that it can be decrypted on-demand?
