Intel promises to support two-year transition to Apple Silicon
Give it up, Intel. You can't win this time. Though the fact that they dedicated a chip solely to Apple...

NHS admits contact tracing app won't work on older iPhones
Correct if I'm wrong, but wouldn't Apple & Google's contact tracing software also not be compatible with older devices, since (I think) it'd require a software update?

Apple might have exclusive on Intel's 28W 'Ice Lake' processors
Yeah, I was a tad confused..mknelson said:Weird, seems like some HTML or CSS gone bad.
The second (incomplete?) line shows up different incomplete here in the comments vs. the main view:
"Although there have been widespread rumors that Apple will switch to a for its MacBook lineup, it looks like Apple's relationship with Intel isn't suffering in the short term.""Although there have been widespread rumors that Apple will switch to a
As was first spotted by NotebookCheck, Intel's Core i7-1068G7 has been removed from the company's ARK database."

Cellebrite pitching iPhone hacking tools as a way to stop COVID-19
It would’ve been a lot easier for governments to just work with Apple & Google. But no, they just have to stalk their citizens...

Britain's NHS rejects the Apple & Google COVID-19 exposure notification technology
Yeah, exactly. I don't want to make this kinda bad comparison, but it's like asking the president to give us medical advice.StrangeDays said:
"Yeaaahh. If you could just go ahead and leave the software development to software companies, that'd be greeaaat..."AppleInsider said:According to BBC News, the system by NHSX, the technology advisory group of the National Health Service, will work via Bluetooth. It will log when any two devices are close enough together for longer than an unspecified amount of time, and relay that information to the central database.
"Engineers have met several core challenges for the app to meet public health needs," an NHSX spokeswoman told the BBC, "and support detection of contact events sufficiently well, including when the app is in the background, without excessively affecting battery life."
In comparison, Apple and Google's technology will allow for contact tracing to take place without an app having to launch or wake. For privacy reasons, the American technology firms also plan to conduct the actual contact tracing on each individual's device, so that data is not passed back to any one company's servers. [...]
France continues to prefer its own proposed system, and has asked Apple to alter iOS's restrictions on apps running in the background, in order for its app to work properly. "[Our] privacy principles are not going to change," responded Gary Davis, Apple's global director of privacy. "They are fundamental privacy principles that are needed to make this work."
Seriously, why would these government shops think they can do privacy-protecting software better than Apple, who also happens to be the platform owner? Its solution is guaranteed to be better. Thankfully Germany has seen the light and gotten on board.
