Apple needs to put a safety disclaimer, with regards to downloading from outside of the App Store. Now it’s at the owners risk, as these have not been certified with an Apple Gold Check mark, which means they’ve been tested at Apple. 

Apple needs to NOT imply that apps from outside the Apple app store are somehow any less safe than apps from inside it, because if they lie like that they're going to find themselves with even higher fines.

And that's a good thing.

Apple has been treating you so badly for so long that you've developed something akin to Stockholm Syndrome.

That's quite an effective strawman that you have created. I could only suppose the motivation.

Previously Apple was entirely responsible for the content published on its App Store, including published commentary on the rigorous review performed prior to content being available - Apple was the single 'throat to choke' if you had issue with an app in the store. This was a value add for using the Apple ecosystem, in protection, and validation that the content would still be supported/able on the current OS.

This change to have alternate stores, which I support and enjoy, muddies the waters around their original content protection status'. It would be poor operation for Apple to do anything other than communicate that its controls are not applied to content in the 3rd party stores. Equally their statement may go further to advise that there is no guarantee that this content will be supported on various devices or future OS (despite the store's claims).

Anything less would be foolish, and invite support of issues relating to third party stores being presented to Apple support, rather than the 3rd party store owner.

He is a maker, seeking the art of the possible.

So I don't quite understand the criticism and negative sentiment from the author or the other respondents (a few of whom clearly didn't watch the video in its entirety), as this was hardly an attempt to convince people to buy a product or follow him on a crusade to make a portable mac mini m4 - he litters the video with frank comments about why this isn't great, and all the issues with the solution.

He did it because he could, and he should be recognised for that level of thinking and skill, not derided.

Dramaticising a component or feature not working in a developer beta...

How exactly is that quality tech journalism ?
