New AirPods, AirPods Pro firmware updates are now available
geekmee said:It’s my understanding that firmware and software updates, are not the same thing. Firmware does not add new features, generally it improves the performance of hardware.Software needs firmware (the interface that controls the hardware) to run - firmware does not necessarily need any software. All the firmware I wrote over the years needed no extra software to run - it was one and the same. This may also involve turning on or off certain hardware options that are “baked into” the hardware at manufacture.

It's time to drop apps that don't support Apple Silicon natively
One scenario William did not think of - from one developer I contacted
The release notes say “ Aug 20, 2021 Native support for M1 processor.” but it’s actually still INTEL.
The excuses were at least entertaining - along the lines of “Apple’s Xcode misled the developers” and the more usual “you won’t notice any difference” plus many more.

approx said:There isn’t always a alternative! We use Broadcast cameras from Sony. These cameras use SXS Cards as memory card. Sony doesn’t support with their device driver Apple Silicon. It’s impossible to ingest content to M1 Macs 🤨
