Apple announces Apple Silicon Mac special event for November 10

Another clickbait AI headline — Apple has announced no such thing.

Yes, we may hope/pray/expect this to be the Si product reveal, but Apple has not announced that.

It’s long been a computer security axiom that any device to which someone can gain physical access must be considered insecure. It’s then simply a question of what level of resources have to be deployed to exploit it.

In practical terms this particular insecurity is very unlikely to affect most people. It may be real — but not real likely.

Hope Apple will fix the newly broken Books app in iPadOS 14.0. 

If you select a font size below about 14-pt (they're not actually labeled) when reading a book in the normal portrait orientation, the display switches automatically to two-column, newspaper style. I can't begin to imagine why anyone would choose to read a book in column mode anyway, but 14-pt, even in a small typeface such as Times New Roman, is already well into large-type-books-for-the-visually-impaired territory.

I still long for the day Apple makes a triumphant return to this space. Yet I won’t be holding my breath. These seem great but I need more affordable. Great Review.

Review? This was simply a product announcement based on Netgear’s press release (https://www.netgear.com/about/press-releases/2020/netgear-orbi-pro-wifi-6-tri-band-mesh-system.aspx)

An examination of the logic board further proved there wasn't any user-upgradability for storage with the model being examined, as there were no SATA connectors on the board at all.

Since we knew that hard drives were no longer offered in the 2020 27" iMac, it would have been very surprising to find an SATA connector on the new iMac's board.

And because we also knew that the new iMac uses Apple's T2 chip, it was unlikely that the SSD mass storage would be a standalone, much less a standard (e.g. NVMe), drive module of any kind, since Apple integrates the SSD controller function into the T2. That makes Apple's SSD incompatible with commercially available SSDs, which have their own onboard controllers.

It wasn't known whether the SSD's storage would be soldered on, as opposed to plug-in, but now we do. Note that even in the iMac Pro, which also uses the T2 but does have plug-in mass storage modules, those modules are proprietary and not available for sale as upgrades. (They are available as repair parts.)

We just took delivery of a 2020 27" iMac (3.8 GHz, 8C, 8GB, 512GB) last week. With 32GB of OWC RAM installed we got the following benchmark results:
Geekbench 5: 1248 (single core); 8554 (multicore).
Cinebench R20: 4871
The fan kicked in quickly on the R20 test, but not observably with GB 5.
