Summary As a result of its privacy features, Apple has cost social media companies including Meta, formerly known as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and YouTube, nearly $10 billion in revenue in the second half of 2021, according to an investigation by the Financial Times. Quotes My thoughts Absolutely a win for consumers who don't want to unwillingly keep giving their data to these platforms. Apple probably deserves more credit here for implementing these features, that many users don't even notice but still benefit from.

Hi I have a fairly basic 4k60 monitor and need a reliable HDMI switch so i can connect my Xbox One X & Computer to the same monitor port and easily switch devices. I've tried looking on amazon and they seem kind of shady/random brands. Anyone have recommendations? Thanks

Summary The government report seems to indicate that China may have used non-consumer Huawei hardware throughout Canada in cyberattacks as retaliation for Meng Wanzhou's arrest. Quotes My thoughts This report although not entirely damning or conclusive on it's on, does add to the ongoing ban the US has on using Huawei hardware for 5G telecommunication due to their "close ties" to the chinese government. It also leads to the puzzling question of why Canadian government HASN'T ruled out Huawei for critical infrastructure contracts.

It's only a small trillion dollar startup. Give them a few more years, this is a good start.

Doesn't have to be too small if those cost a lot, desktop or smaller would be fine.

I have FTTH 1 Gig down/up connection. Currently on a consumer Asus AC88u router, have several devices set up to use the (slow) VPN through the router. I'd like some recommendation to get better Wireguard (or OpenVPN) speeds preferably as close to 1gbps as possible? , solid reliability, and some ad blocking. Newbie, but not afraid to tinker with stuff, would like some room to add features as I learn more about Pfsense. Have been looking at used Dell optiplex, HP ProDesk G4 400 and qotom boxes, but feeling overwhelmed with options. So any help appreciated.

Summary Quotes My thoughts Seems like the growing number of lawsuits and anticompetitive investigations as pressured Apple into making this move. Overall a win for small developers, would be interesting to see if Google matches this. Sources https://www.macrumors.com/2020/11/18/apple-drops-app-store-fees/

https://www.macrumors.com/2020/11/17/apple-silicon-mac-reviews-videos/ This post has a lot of the youtube reviewers and their reviews listed.
-
Definitely, more reviews the better. However other reviews are starting to come out, and it's looking like this thing basically outperforms the top 16in Intel MBP on optimized apps and almost matches it in translated apps.
-
Definitely don't switch to the Intel mac now. If you can wait till they release a 16inch Apple Silicon next year, you definitely should. Unless you don't require that extra sustained power for your workload. There's also rumored to be a design change next year with mini-led displays and a new 14inch and 16in MBP.
-
Geekbench isn't a good benchmark. However other benchmarks are also showing great performance for the M1 Chip.
-
It looks like Linus' early impression and skepticism to the announcement video wasn't echoed by other reviewers because they had the M1 already in hand being tested. Dave Lee sorta hinted at that in the WAN show last week too. This rift between LMG and Apple just puts LMG a bit behind on reviews for Apple products.

I updated the post to include the direct explanation from Apple, along with their PDF from their website

EDIT: So some people aren't sure why the article/author mention the T2. So here's the pdf straight from Apple explaining the other T2 chip features, and their quote on the "HARDWARE microphone disconnect" Apple T2 Chip Overview PDF Source Not a bad idea?

Seems like Apple either isn't enforcing their internal document of "bricking" the MacBook if repaired by 3rd party or the internal document was an error. https://www.macrumors.com/2018/10/06/ifixit-repairs-2018-mbp-without-apple-diagnostics/ The Original Document leaked stated: iFixit:

Source: https://www.macrumors.com/2018/08/22/android-sends-data-google-10-times-ios-to-apple/ Personally I think it's fine for Google to collect as much information as they want, as long as it's clearly visible to the user exactly what is being collected and there is an option to turn off things the user doesn't want collected. However, this study along with others seem to repeatedly show that Google isn't giving the users full control over their privacy and continuing to collect data even on things the user turns off, which is bad.

I thought in certain tests they were, but I'm not sure. You might be right. Apple definitely just didn't want to redesign the thermal solution since they know the number of people who will spend money for the i9 is going to be small, but that's very disappointing.
-
YES! my 2008-2009 15" literally ran over 100C frequently, even after cleaning the fan and changing the thermal compounds, but it lasted me like 6 years.
-
I mostly agree with you, but a comparison of other laptops with the same chip would be interesting. I also dont think it's fair to say that it's going to be running at 92ºC majority of the time, would highly depend on your workload. For the form factor, is there any other laptops that do better?
