Time to move on from Intel.

A new ARM MacBook makes sense, it doesn’t need the x86-64 performance an MBP does and I’m pretty sure 3rd party software use is fairly minimal on these machines.  Emulating macOS/Windows x86 should be at Intel Y levels by now.  Maybe license AMD64 for the job.

I just wish they’d hurry up & show some point of difference rather than cost.

It bums me out when I see brand fans making statements like this. AMD wasn't immune to timing attacks. This whole area of security research at the chip level is novel. It's not like suddenly you move to ARM and then you're perfectly safe from unforeseen flaws in chip designs. You're gonna learn as you go as researchers get more and more clever at finding ways to attack them.

If Nader were smart with his own money instead of telling people like me how to spend it, he would have invested in Apple way back when he was still relevant (?) and too the crazy profits and do as he saw fit.

Screw people like him.  I do believe that the government should take care of their citizens, but what he is proposing is just wrong on every level.

TL;DR You have no idea who Ralph Nader is. Read a book.

A Apple car is kinda silly. Car tech makes sense, buying Tesla.. maybe... Build a damn desktop computer and automate the home would be awesome.

It makes even more sense to buy BMW. BMW is cheap at $60 Billion. It even makes a large profit which Tesla may never do. Apple likes profit. BMW already makes electric cars. And BMW can mass produce cars - Tesla cannot. Tesla' cars are flawed because it hasn't made cars for long. Tesla's bugs would drive perfectionistic Apple nuts  Apple can buy BMW with only 6 months of revenue. 

What universe do you live in where Apple is still managed by perfectionists? Are they the ones responsible for the new apple mouse not scrolling for older operating systems than 10.11(current)? Are they the ones with the 5S that wont hold a charge? The antireflective screen coating that wipes off on laptops? The jumbo iPad that doesn't have the ability to split the keyboard like every other iPad on the market? The all black TV remote with microphones and touch pads built into it, but no illumination on the all black buttons to see what you're pressing when in a dark room? (it's perfectly symmetrical so you fumble with it every time you pick it up. Bonus!) I'm just wondering where this happy place is because I seem to be really far from it.
