I think the article is a little misleading in that Apple does not have to provide alternative payment methods only that it cannot disallow external links placed by developers in the app that provide information about alternative payment methods or bring the user to an external payment processor. Most developers especially smaller ones won’t do that.

Why does the switch need lights to tell you how bright the lights controlled by the switch are? My hue switches don’t have a light, but luckily I can tell by the light how bright the light is. 

I wish they would stop putting lights on every damn thing. 

You can decide how long they stay on  from 1 to 25 seconds or have them on permanently or off permanently. Personally I like to have the reference of how bright the setting is. 

I wonder if Mountain Lion Server is also available for free. The user (non-server) version will not run in a Virtual Machine. Only the server version is licensed to run in a VM. 

If it maintains the 20V specification then it would have to push 12 amps through the cable. That would require something like 14 gage wire to carry that kind of current. That means thick heavy cable unless they push the voltage up to 48 volts to keep the current 5 amp draw. I followed the link to the USB-IF and couldn’t find any details.

How about that: mighty impressive performance of the 7-GPU core M1 🦖

On a side note, I have yet to notice the fan in my M1-macMini (sitting on my desk, just in front of the keyboard). In fact, I haven’t heard the fan at all, despite torturing the machine by restoring Aperture libraries up to 500.000 thousand pictures. (no complaining, though 😋)

I have a 2015 MacBook Pro 15” and a M1 Mac Mini. I use iStat Pro on both to monitor, among other things, CPU temperature. The MacBook Intel CPU runs around 140 degrees when doing simple word processing and will go up to 200+ degrees when rendering video. I have never seen the M1 Mac Mini go over 100 degrees even when pushing it and it typically stays around 75 degrees for general use.  Big difference in generated heat generated by the CPUs.
