I wish the Apple Watch Face ID bypass worked with mirrored sunglasses instead of just masks...

I went *years* without running AV software on my Mac. I think I even bragged about it in a Tweet about 10 years ago.

But these days, well, things have changed. (A massive/sophisticated ransomware attack can have that effect on you.)

I'm pretty happy to have Carbon Black on my Mac.

Don't use Airtags to stalk someone with an iPhone. Problem solved.

At this point, it's entirely up to Apple if they want to maintain a lead or merely compete with the likes of Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm.

9 months is a long time and in theory Apple has had its M2 (or whatever - the next gen M-series chip) in the pipeline for a while now, so we should see products based on it by it then - and possibly see products based on the equivalent of an M2 Max by then as well. Plus, as Qualcomm doesn't make their own products, there will most likely be a delay between the 9 months date and the date that consumers actually have a product in hand using those CPUs.

That is the interesting thing about predictions. You're either basing your predictions on competitors' current gen stuff - which will be outdated by the time your product comes to market - or you're making assumptions about your competitors' next gen product. The problem with that is that Apple isn't like Intel. It offers no roadmap of its CPUs ahead of time. So Qualcomm is either guessing or they're setting their sites WAY too low.

Either way, seems like an interesting promise they're making.

Streaming/buffering issues aside, they made some very interesting/odd design choices. My money is on at least a few changes being made before actual release once they hear the outcry. (But I've certainly been wrong before when it comes to MS.)
