Blizzard updates 'World of Warcraft' with native support for Apple Silicon
Would be interesting to see World of Warcraft as an early benchmark for the M1 compared to the Intel Macs.

Apple execs talk M1, chip specs versus real-world performance in interview
“When we design our chips, which are like three or four years ahead of time, Craig and I are sitting in the same room defining what we want to deliver, and then we work hand in hand.”
It’s exciting to think that the M1 has been long in the making and that they are planning ahead four years. I wonder what the “M5” that they must be discussing now can do!

macOS Big Sur telling Apple what app you've opened isn't a security or privacy issue
Thank you for this timely piece - I was wondering about this yesterday.
According to the following analysis, the hash that is sent is not unique to the app but only to the developer certificate: https://blog.jacopo.io/en/post/apple-ocsp/
“- No, macOS does not send Apple a hash of your apps each time you run them.
- You should be aware that macOS might transmit some opaque information about the developer certificate of the apps you run. This information is sent out in clear text on your network.”

Facebook, Google, other major developers decline to offer native Apple silicon apps at lau...
I don’t understand the merit of having native apps for many of these when they run just as well in a browser, especially the streaming services and the Google apps.

New iPhone 12 owners bombarded with free Apple Arcade offers
I agree. This doesn’t look great from an antritrust standpoint, especially at a time when Apple is facing increased scrutiny.prismatics said:
Why does settings.app contain a certain type of notification, an email and a section (defined by its intended purpose as an "ad") in the first place?crowley said:A notification, an email and a section in settings.app hardly seems like a “bombardment”.
Does Google or Microsoft get the same possibility of serving advertisements in a system preferences pane on iOS??????
The point being is that this behaviour is extremely unusual (and I even think inappropriate) for apple to serve an ad like this, and I hope this will not continue going forward (e.g. place an order for iPhone 12 now and save 100€, limited deal in the lock screen or something like that).
The notification that gets turned on after each iOS update on my devices is the reminder about setting up Apple Pay, as though that’s an essential feature...
