@rob53 where does Apple say they won’t “allow” x86 emulation?

The claim is nonsense because Rosetta 2 is x86 emulation (well, strictly, it's x64 emulation).

What they have said is that Rosetta 2 won't support virtualisation. That is not the same thing as saying they won't allow developers to write their own emulation or hypervisor (which VMWare mentions they are working on) that will support it.

I'm a lot more positive about it than I was, after reading the Parallels and VMWare releases on Apple Silicon, but we shall still have to wait and see what they actually deliver.

$999 for a cable and a hub?!!! I might be missing something here...

I'm thinking the same thing. Either I'm missing the point or Logitech is missing a decimal point. 

Likely a typo.

$9.99

Or I'm missing something.

It's listed as $999 on Logitech's site. Crazy. 

They've lost their damn minds or we're missing something.

I suspect it's just a bit more complicated than a multi-headed cable. The box probably has some new bespoke bits in it driving the price up. No doubt, the price will come down with time, but for now it's going to be priced for industry only. And early adopters in industry at that.

Upping the security isn't that much of an improvement if it isn't end-to-end. The whole architecture of Zoom is basically a man-in-the-middle vulnerability.

It has a number of great features, and seems to be purpose built for things like remote podcast recording, but if you want any kind of security, it's kind of bad.

And ahead of schedule? 

Shops are a lot less willing to handle cash these days, so if you’re a bank without a fast payment strategy …

Also, the whole isolation/quarantine situation is probably not a great time for business, so rolling this out will probably help.

Another interesting thing is that it doesn't include Westpac issued Visa cards, just MasterCard and normal debit cards. Found that out while trying to activate mine last night. My brother is especially pissed off at that as they stopped issuing MasterCards a while back and forced him onto a Visa, which he still can't use with Apple Pay. (I don't know if they changed their minds, or only cut off some types of MasterCard and didn't offer a choice of replacing it with a different type. I think it was the one he initially got forced into after Bankcard got shut down.)

Was planning on trying this out today, and just hooked it up. What I was surprised by, and you didn't mention, is that the AirPlay menu turns into an iPad, possibly only when there are no other AirPlay destinations available. Confused me for a second when I couldn't see where it had gone.

Anyway, it seems to be working fine for me, now.
