Compared: New Apple Silicon Mac mini versus Intel Mac Mini
Yay, it works using a shell script on an ARM native app and an Intel app under Rosetta. I'd previously just dragged an alias out of the app's Package Contents/Contents/MacOS. That no longer works with Big Sur on Intel or ARM.anonconformist said:
Waiting for my M1 Mac Mini to arrive (likely around Christmas due to BTO configuration) but something to be aware of is not all applications are meant/designed to have more than a single instance of it running, so there is that, without having any information on which application you’re trying to launch.MacPro said:I've been unable on my M1 Mac, using Terminal, to launch additional iterations of an application so far. Has anyone else tried this? I wonder if this is a security level increase that can be circumvented if required?
An interesting example to consider is Pages: you can see using top or Activity Monitor that you can launch several instances of it, but only one instance appears to show a GUI.
Here is the script to use in Script Editor for anyone interested. Compile, save, and run.
do shell script "open -n /Applications/YourApp.app"

New Patreon project seeks to bring Linux to M1 Macs
The problem with the Intel FanBoys is their inability to 'think different'. I keep seeing test reports that show there is far more going on than is obvious. Take for example the amount of RAM we 'know' is needed for certain tasks, e.g. number of tracks in Logic Pro X. Compare the maximum tracks that playback smoothly on an M1 16 GB vs iMac i9 64 GB and it's obvious Intel vs M1 is not a 1:1 comparison ...by a long way.rezwits said:
And I'll say this HALF short – TWICE strong:cloudguy said:1. The WinTel model has had from 80% to 87% market share since 1990.
(VCRs were all the rage from 1970-1995 (25 years), way over 80% market share, haha market share)
(Disc Players of various types, were all the rage from 1996-2020 (25 years), way over 80% market share, once again, haha market share)
Since 1990, WinTel SLAVES have been saying Apple/Mac is DOOMED.
Now it's 2020 (30 years later), and Mac FANBOYS are NOW saying WinTel is DOOMED.
From here on out we are going to consistently SLAM, YELL, ARGUE, or even TROLL, that WinTel is DOOMED.
Take your own damn medicine now for the next 30 years! and like it, Cloudguy!
My, my, how times have changed, maybe we'll be wrong, or a... -
Early macOS Big Sur adopters running into teething issues
Same here on a variety of Macs. I made Bootable backups using Carbon Copy Cloner of every Mac (Thank you Mike Bombich for being up to the task as always, even with a bootable Big Sur ability in the latest beta). Of course, had I not had backups all hell would have broken loose I am sure.currentinterest said:I have used it since it was released with none of the problems described. I find it an absolute delight.

Why the iPhone 12 Pro is worth the upgrade cost
The two dog photographs' staggering differences in low light remind me of what I saw changing from Canon gear after 20 years to Sony Alpha full-frame gear.

'GravityRAT' Windows spyware modified to infect macOS, Android
Read the history of the company. The real history not the one Kaspersky has modified.Dontmentionthewar said:
Can you explain why please?Rayz2016 said:
If you’re using Kaspersky then I’m not sure “safe” is the word I’d use.Dontmentionthewar said:I’m using Kaspersky (complete protection 2020)as standard protection on all my macs, better safe than sorry :-) the performance impact is minimal.
Speaking of course on my own systems that I’m using.
