Showing up on my biz macs.  Success all around.  

I always figured that everyone could hear all the communicators, that they were just a lot more respectful in the future.
When ST came out in the 60s, many saw it as a hope-filled sign that we as a species made it to the 23rd century.  
Now I see it as na hope-filled sign that we as a species will eventually stop staring at our phones 24/7/365.

Yup,  Make a profile for those who want to and one for those who don't.  I would trust that more than a setting.  

The app store deletion is nuts.  

 If your business model is threatened by privacy measures, then you have the wrong business model. 
I think the kid-and-pet-eating treadmills are a bigger issue than Cupertino. 
You can buy a decent bike and a trainer stand for half of what they charge. 
And you can use the bike outside too. 

This is rich.  Intel is cranking out low-end processors for Chromebooks, either ignoring or flailing at next-gen SoC, and has to go - hat in hand - to their main competitor for technology and capacity.  Their SoC efforts have been mostly with existing processor designs and if you go looking for them it's for NUCs and Atom for mobile running on 14nm.  TSMC has been planning expansion before these guys came calling, I think they'll be fine letting Intel do what they can to compete on their own.  If they put in half the effort Apple has to get their A and M families to where they are, Intel should be fine.  But continuing their "good enough" approach may keep them in sales for a while, but it's not the look of progress they like to project.  Beyond that, they're at the mercy of device makers - if someone can do with licensable ARM what Apple has done, end-user manufacturers will go where they can make the most noise with the best claims.  Being a consultant for Intel will be highly lucrative for the next two years. Then they will either have succeeded in answering Apple/TSMC or they will be chasing them. As a company, they don't have much influence with consumers.  Ask anyone what chip is in the device they're using and you'll get mostly blank stares.  Unless you happen upon an M1 user - they will be happy to tell you. Intel just has never been able to get people excited about their product, and neither has Microsoft.  Well, except for that one time with some guy named Ballmer... Windows is like the joke about Denny's - you don't GO to Denny's, you END UP at Denny's.  That said, Win 11 is looking like the first version that can be sold on its merits - look and feel, speed - rather than "you just need us because we've been here for three decades".
