  • Faking an iPhone shutdown could allow malware to survive a reboot

    Gotta keep in mind that for security researchers everything is an apocalypse. Apparently you have to install an app with the malicious code and how do you do that unless you jailbreak your iPhone. Another nothing-burger here. Let’s move along, please.

    From the practical compromise POV; I fully agree. However to say this is a nothing-burger misses the point, IMO. The publication of the researcher's discoveries provides 3rd party research to back Apple's position about side-loading apps and the security implications that come from it.

    This is what makes this an important thing and not a nothing-burger.

  • Parallels Desktop 16.5 released with native Apple Silicon support

    appleseerappleseer
    If Parallels will do x86/x64isa VMs; it would likely occur this way imho.

    Parallels 17 will support  x86/x64isa and only support it on next-gen and higher; continuing ARM based improvements on all ASi.

    Rationale:

    Know Parallels marketing. Only 16.5? 17 is not far behind and can get a new set of users and renewals offering x86/x64isa support as well as the next set of speed bumps. The next  release of  ASi is supposed to much quicker. Parallels should be able to get x86/x64isa emulated at decent performance on the next-gen chip. 

    Our needs are not going anywhere and there are no other offerings. Parallels doesn't need to release a x86/x64isa emulation version; yet. We wanted one yesterday. But right now; Parallels can take their time and hopefully provide a WOW factor worthy of ASi native software and the next gen ASi. 16.5 already offers a decent improvement according to the article.

    I  might be one generation of software and ASi off, or Parallels may brand the x86/x64isa features under the Pro moniker and offer it on the higher cost software offerings.. But this makes sense to me.
