    “Apple also recommends that users avoid getting any moisture in device openings”

    So much for that IP68 rating. 
    Lizard Brain, it is. An IP68 rating doesn’t mean it’s a mask and snorkel for swimming in the ocean. The manufacturer of a sensitive electronics device recommends, not you must.  Most of the thinking world already knows it’s best to keep sensitive electronics away from water. Unfortunately because of dimwits like you, manufacturers must include “do not eat your phone”, “do not put your phone in the oven”.

    Very responsible reply of Apple. Hope this is patched immediately.

    This will be an anti-Apple media circus all while ignoring the open door that’s Android.

    IMO some of it is fine but otherwise a timid response. The best defense is a good offense. Take the time to mention "location" and numerous other items that are part of the revenue model of competitors.  Plow that down their throats. Put them in position to have to defend their massive data mining.

  • US Government, NATO accuse China of Microsoft Exchange attacks

    Windows is an extremely useful tool for business and governments. But it is also the most Malware open OS by a staggering amount. If using Windows you must lock down as much as possible while allowing just what is needed. That's not hype, that is the stark reality

    Microsoft OS is the worst OS in the world. Why these people don't know this fact? IBM PC users have been buying anti-virus software for decades. This is a necessity for Windows users. Why? Because hackers have been inflicting harm on IBM PC users. Do we execute them? I have not users any anti-virus on my Macs. I have received many spam emails trying to steal from me. Do we execute the senders? 
    IBM got out of the PC business 16 years ago. Windows 10 is actually quite usable. I don't use any anti-virus software except for the built-in Windows Defender.

    "I don't use any anti-virus software except for the built in".
    You must love Microsoft a lot to browse the internet and install appslications utilities etc from the internet using only Defender.
    For the rest of the world reading this thread, that is bad advice.  You are taking demonstrably and quantifiably taking a significant risk relying on Defender only.

    Except they're going to hit the same wall everybody else will. 

    The reality is that the M1 is fine for a toy like an iPad, but it's too limited for anything more than a low-end general purpose computer.  16GB RAM in 2021 is a sad joke.

    Keep your day job genius. What you know about the M series chips are about as much as your knowledge to post thoughtfully. 
    The M series upside is unknown. It may already be near its ceiling but that is extremely unlikely for a large successful company to put big money into development of tech that has near future limitation. In the near future the M series and ARM may be what most personal computing is based off of, or something else may come along to trump it.. But you already know that, right? being the top level thinker your post reveals.

    I'll definitely keep my day job which I assure you is not being one of those script-following board-swappers Apple likes to call "geniuses".

    The M series future is somewhat known.  Apple will hit the same wall everybody else will.  TSMC, who actually make the chips since Apple has zero manufacturing capability, have already announced their plan to make 3nm and 2nm chips in the future.  IBM claims they're already making 2nm, we'll see if they can get any volume.  But 2nm is getting close to the end of the line, and we'll see if even TSMC manages to push below that, 1nm will probably happen but there's a decent chance that sub-nanometer won't even be workable.

    I'm skeptical that the Acorn RISC Machine architcture is the future of computing.  Apple's tried chip design and RISC before, then the PowerPC hit a wall.  Could this time be different?  Maybe, but remember ARM is almost as old as the 68k, it's an older architecture than PowerPC.

    Wherever you work I feel sorry for the outlook of that company.  You obviously like to play EE for Apple or TSMC online yet it is obviously you know less than nothing. Notice how you chage to "somewhat" known now. Fyi, everyone can see that and, while they are already were scoffing, just laugh at your typed non think blathering. And anyone like you (and other screen names you use) who would claim a gen 1 of a chip (now)"has a 'somewhat' known ceiling" is laughable.
