M1 could be a viable target for games developers. They’re locked into x86/DirectX right now but they know ARM on Windows is inevitable and if they’re entertaining ARM the Vulkan/Android & Metal/AppleOS is also worthwhile. I wonder how many game…

No good deed goes unpunished. Liberalism is on the rise in China, state support will emboldened them.

Or maybe this;

I’m liking the Affinity Benchmark 1920 score, much more informative than Geekbench compute as Apple had moved beyond compute. Here’s a desktop RTX3080 doing about half as well;

Just as Apple nail silicon, their design decisions are becoming a flip-flopping joke. They need that ‘courage’ or regrow some kind of a spine. U-turning on HDMI was ridiculous (who needs video without power or data?) and SD cards are dwindling in th…

These things are cheap compared to Z-Books!

Nonsense, if Governments can insist Apple scans on-device libraries, they’re already insisting Google & Facebook scan cloud libraries. Also, I want implicit content rating ASAP. Technology exposes our kids to all manner of information & I’d…

Depends on how the legislation is worded. Apple has always allowed 3rd-party payment systems, you can add hundreds of different Visa, Mastercard cards or PayPal to your AppleID. If they meant App Stores, that’s a different thing entirely. If the jus…

This is a good start presumably preempting Apple’s ban on all 3rd party UI frameworks.

As long as Apple requests/obtains my permission to release my email address to the developer and the developer doesn’t then monopolise payments by having only their store available. I don’t want to have to deal with dozens of shady, underhanded orga…

“ Google brokered deals with major U.S. carriers T-Mobile, AT&T and, most recently, Verizon, to preinstall the Messages by Google app on all Android devices sold on their respective networks.” this is why RCS has failed before it started, Google…

People don’t want more RAM, they just want a quicker machine and Apple Silicon delivers on that irrespective of specs. I guess that confirms the imminent MBP launch with some pretty amazing hardware.
