PassMark is "more honest"? It represents a varied load??? No, sorry, it's just not good. Seriously, read their own documentation. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_test_info.html Ri…

You're way offtopic just because you wanted to be all dumb and tribal. Nobody claimed APFS was better than your favorite filesystem, simmer down. But also, I wanted to let you know…

Outside of a handful of special ultra-unlocked iPhones Apple sells (or loans maybe? Don't remember the details) to security researchers, no, you cannot reliably boot your own OS on…

1. The consequences of playing loud sounds with no protection are unlikely to involve open flames. You're just going to fry speaker coils, after which they won't sound good (or mak…

"MacOS on ARM handles memory differently, try it you might like it." The only sense in which this claim is true is that macOS on Arm uses a 16KiB page size, while macOS on Intel us…

re: four M1 variants, the clever thing is that from a certain perspective, they've only designed two. It's just that one of those two (M1 Max) was designed such that it could be sc…

"There is already a living example of a custom Apple-designed external graphics card. Apple designed and released Afterburner, a custom "accelerator" card targeted at video editing…

"The CPU can't possibly get too cold" - Untrue. There are plenty of chips with what overclockers like to call "cold bugs". Sequential logic (flipflops) has a setup time requirement…

They did open up their hardware to other operating systems: they engineered a feature into their secure boot system which allows a Mac's owner to attest (with physical presence req…

"There is no hardware in the M1's for x86 emulation. Rosetta 2 does on the fly translation for JIT and caches translation for x86_864 binaries on first launch." This is not quite c…

"CPUs are a chump's game" - what? High performance CPUs which nevertheless use very little power are extremely difficult to design. "AMD's Ryzen 7 4800u hit 4ghz over 8 cores" - It…

Incorrect. Apple's original presentations on Arm Macs suggested that booting other operating systems would be supported, and recently this has been confirmed by two of the engineer…

"the display, which draws up to 5x more power than the CPU does" - wat? Apple-supplied monitoring tools report that M1 under full load (all CPU and GPU cores) can draw over 30 watt…
