  • Why Apple's move to an ARM Mac is going to be a bumpy road for some

    I'd still say they are going to be moving to custom-designed AMD chipsets instead.  Probably based around the Zen 2 architecture.  It'll retain x86 compatibility and provide better performance for the power.  The move to an all ARM platform seems a little too early.  Yes, they could if they wanted to, but I still think there needs to be considerable work done before Windows on ARM becomes a proper, mass-embraced thing.
    Apple makes macOS. Microsoft makes Windows.

    As a reminder, we have a code of conduct, conveniently linked at the bottom of every forum page. 
    It's unfortunate that you have to state that on a thread about eliminating discrimination against women.

    Any ideas on how Apple will handle the X86 code of current apps to run on ARM architecture?
    Because Apple designs its own processors, I suspect Apple will find a new way to add x86 instruction layer on top of a fast ARM core and it will run all software natively without emulation. 
    That's technically possible, but it defeats all the benefits of using AArch64 and adds a lot more complexity and cost to the chip, so I don't see that as being an option.

  • Apple liable for millions in unpaid wages after court rules retail worker bag checks illeg...

    SoliSoli
    1) Did the court rule that bag checks were illegal (as the title suggests) or that it's illegal to not compensate employees for time for doing a legal bag check?

    2) I'm all for this and have been since it was first reported. Lots of blindly pro-Apple people were against the employees on this one, with comments about how they shouldn't bring any personal belonging with them (even if that meant no food or other items while being away from home all day long) to leaving stuff in a car (where it could easily get broken into or not an option since public transportation in major cities is the only viable method for getting to and from work) to being told to suck it up and that the pleasure of working for Apple should be enough.

    It's hard to believe that this short term exportation on a brand new card from a company that had never issued a credit card was such an overly dramatic certain people on this forum.
    Yep, some people get bent out of shape at the drop of the hat. The Apple Discussion Forums has several lengthy threads of users completely outraged that they cannot go to Goldman Sachs' website and login to their account with a web browser "like every other credit car on the planet." There are several threads with outraged Quicken users demanding Apple "fix" this "obviously rookie mistake". They are trying to form an activist revolt by asking everyone to cancel their Apple Card until Apple complies with their demands for direct downloads to Quicken. A couple of posters have become obsessed with forcing Apple to support Quicken downloads. I read the posts and shake my head.

    It's a freaking credit card, people! If you don't like how it works then don't use it. 
    I like to export my data. I keep PDF records of all my financial transitions because I can't trust anyone else to do it. Because this wasn't an option with the Apple Card I simply didn't get one.
