  • How Linux was ported to the Apple Silicon M1 Mac mini

    A pointless intellectual exercise. You can run a full blown ARM Linux as a VM inside Parallels,VMWare  etc. 
    No, it isn't.
    A lot of people (including me) want to run Linux on the bare metal. Yes, using a VM is 'a' solution but it is not the only solution. A hypervisor (VMware etc) also requires maintenance. If you can run it on the bare metal, that's one less thing to go wrong, keep updated.

  • Linux is now 'fully usable' on Apple Silicon M1 Macs

    rotateleftbyterotateleftbyte
    'usable' is to me, a slightly ambiguous term.
    It is one thing to boot a USB image but real usability for me is when you can install the Linux software on the internal Storage and then boot from it.

    Still, it is early days yet.

  • Incoming Intel CEO demands better chips than 'lifestyle company in Cupertino'

    lifestyle company in Cupertino
    I guess that even saying the word 'Apple' sticks in his throat so much that he has to resort to words like this.  Shame really. Intel has needed a kick in the you know what's for years and the M1 is just the latest in a pretty long line of warning shots that have finally struck the bullseye.  AMD is better positioned to make a very powerful X86/64 SOC than Intel largely because of their GPU work. That must really gall.

  • Google wraps up $2 billion Fitbit acquisition

    rotateleftbyterotateleftbyte
    If anyone thinks that Google is NOT going to [cough] [cough] get hold of the Fitbit data then just ask yourself what other reason would they (google) have for buying Fitbit? It sure ain't out the goodness of their hearts.
    Just look at the great gobs of data that Facaebook sucks out of WhatsApp? Will this be any different? I really doubt it mind you, I don't have a fitbit or appl watch and I avoid google unless there is no other way.

    Yet, for some people, Google is the great shining star and can do no wrong. Strange place the world is in at the moment.

    Yes. 

    And Bosch has 30,000 software engineers working on varying aspects of Autonomous Driving and in January last year claimed that all of the technical hurdles had been overcome. The only things remaining were testing and refinement, standards and protocols, economies of scale and convincing users. 

    ROFL. Please check out the negative comments about EV's that the head of BOSCH made very recently.  They might have done the groundwork but that may never see the light of day.
