    I hope for this to never happen. Gemini is involved in several deviant projects including the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

    Thanks but no thanks. Gonna stick to x86
    #metoo.  Honestly who wouldn't.  It makes zero sense.  All microprocessor will be the same.  MacOS is built on x86.  Intel is a serious company. Rosetta runs x86.  It was built on x86 and the M-Chips are x86.  Fun Fact.

    What? That makes no sense. I think you're missing a few details.

    Before Apple adopted Intel processors, Mac OS (or OS X) ran on Motorola PowerPC chips.

    Are you claiming that ARM chips (of which M-series chips are built) are actually built using Intel x86 architecture? Not true at all. ARM and x86 are entirely separate architectures. If your claim had any truth to it, Microsoft would not have had so much trouble rolling out their ARM-based Windows.

    Rosetta translates executable code of applications, not the OS, that haven't yet been built for Apple silicon. That's the only role that Rosetta plays. macOS itself is not running ON Rosetta.
    x86 are. MacOS is running on Objective-C.  The Robot language is still x86.  The PowerPC ships with Apple and Motorola are long gone, great SISC chips.  M-Series Chips are still C - C++ - Objective-C- Swift.  Apple does not allow NXU kernel runs.  Hence Rosetta.  You can test, but it won't pass Apple.
    What the #@$ are you talking about?

    Always good for a laugh particularly the Android OS part, which is Windows on a phone.
    Well, there's a lot to say about Google and Android, good and bad, but I don't get how something can be both an iOS rip-off _and_ "Windows on a phone"... 
    But I agree that this kind of articles are kind of pointless. Not that I don't care about Android, but just listing a lot of "it may", "it could" and "it's likely" doesn't help much.

    Ugh. Let Bluetooth die. It's the floppy disc of wireless technology. Need something new.
    Why? What is inherently bad with BT, and how would something else be better just because it is "new"?

    A wired connection is always better faster cleaner, more reliable than over the air (Radio, BT or WiFi).
    Well, wired is obviously not the answer to the "need" for "something new".
