A month behind schedule.  Better have either a iPad Mini and/or better yet iPad Mini Pro!

I wonder how long Apple will keep this month behind streak? Forever now? WWDC in July??

WWDC is already announced for June starting on the 7th

If you are in the EU or UK and experience this issue please remember that Apple has to repair, replace or refund faulty devices that have not been modified or physically damaged for up to 6 years. Irrespective of any other warranty or extended warranty offered

You may be out of luck if you are running a beta but for anyone else these laws apply. The HomePod and recent M1 Macs have zero user serviceable and upgradable parts. They fall under Consumer Rights Laws and Apple would not be able to dispute this.

Just mention Consumer Rights Directive (EU), Consumer Rights Act (UK) to the Apple Rep. 

Starcentric was having issues with the Drobo line long before coronavirus

There has been little innovation in product line for years now. They reduced the product line to just four products none of which were especially competitive against the likes of Synology

I have the 8D which was discontinued as part of the product cull. It's a good direct attached solution. Performance is just about OK… and that was/is the problem with BeyondRAID. Average performance and zero ways to recover data should a unit fail other than to an identical device which was prematurely discontinued and unavailable

I'm sorry to see them go but it was long overdue. I suspect this is the end and Chapter 11 is not going to save them

Apple will have to switch to RISC before it becomes mainstream if it has to retain it's leadership in CPUs. And that's likely to happen before "decades". 

I cannot tell if this is sarcasm or not?

I thought most predictions suggest that the M1X will be available in up to 64Gb of unified memory not 16Gb as the article states

Bit odd how the image in the article above seems to show two cables, but a picture circulating of the opened enclosure only show a USB-C port, suggesting it's bus-powered…

To me the "second cable" looks like a reflection that has been enhanced badly. So I would say single cable

Except for the kernel extension that is required!

On Apple silicon this further involves launching the security startup utility and downgrading security to permit the kernel installation to be loaded

DROBOs do not need special drivers for use.  They present themselves as typical external drive.

The DROBO software is for initial configuration, status, and configuration changes (adding/changing virtual volumes, changing between single/dual drive redundancy, etc.)

I ran the Apple Silicon pre-release version for all of 3 hours today before I got complaints about audio problems from meeting attendees

Sawing like noises, crackling, me stuck in a 4 work endless audio loop. My idea of perfect for them not so much

Back to the Intel binary
