The only time my M1 MBA's battery ran out quicker than two days was when I was doing testing and watching multiple movies. Even then it still had 50%. I could include an iStat battery display but recently I've been testing external storage through an OWC dock and it constantly charges my MBA so it wouldn't mean anything. I've gone over a week with the MBA turned on with minimal usage and it's at >50%. Even when I forgot I left it on and didn't use it for two weeks it still had >30% battery. Never had this happen on old MacBooks.

Limited article. Parallels can’t do anything with Windows 11 until Microsoft releases an ARM version. Apple moving away from Intel so VMWare seems to not care about non-Intel related virtualization. Parallels is trying but can’t make Microsoft do anything. Running Unix/Linux under virtualization on an M-series Mac might not have enough customers to keep Parallels in business long term.

One down, one more to go and that is Windows.  I hope Microsoft gets its head out of its backside and allow Windows ARM to be purchased for general consumers.  I can't understand why Microsoft would not want to.  It's another unit sale for that company regardless of who buys it right?

I have Windows ARM running on my M1 MBA under Parallels. I was able to install Firefox but am I running Firefox under a built-in emulator or does W-ARM allow all Windows 10-Intel apps to just run?

Oracle at one point ran on Macs but I haven't seen any updates to that since maybe ver 11. I have to wonder whether running Oracle under Linux under parallels would be useful for testing if not running some smaller databases on an M1 Mac.

Just found this in another article--

Please bear in mind that this does not mean that you can just fire Linux up on a M1. Instead, this change is extremely limited, with only a UART serial console currently supported.

--At least it's a start.

So Jamf has written a backdoor into its MDM software. That's interesting. I assume this operates like an old style RSA token system but even that required a logon and the token (two-factor). What this system appears to do is allow the person managing the system access to every connected client since once you give the user access via the unlock software, the administrator by default also has it. I wonder if this also gives the admin access to all the user's security keys. Glad I'm not having to deal with this anymore because it would require a lot of testing before I would have approved it.

Idiot doesn’t know the differences. iOS always uses admin account while macOS has multiple user accounts with different privileges.
