That’s…so long ago. The Apple with a two trillion dollar market cap and a spaceship campus is not the Apple of that era. The wider market and world aren’t what they were then, either. It doesn’t mean very much at all.
Doesn't matter. Those things can go in the span of a few years. Remember when Blackberry was king? Pepperidge Farm remembers!
My surprise is that Android is the "other one" and not Windows Phone.
Re: What’s Left in the Apple Silicon Transition
#133The Mac Studio was a new product category, sitting just beneath the Mac Pro. I suspect during development they were unsure of if it would actually be the Mac Pro, that would have probably been another 2013 Mac Pro debacle though. The Mac Studio must be decimating Mac Pro sales, it must fit what 70-80% of Mac Pro users wanted. It's going to be incredible hard to Apple to justify development of an extended M architectu…
I think it would be enough for the Pro to just be the same as the highest spec of the next generation Mac Studio, in a form factor that has PCIe and RAM slots. (I wonder if they could do some kind of memory hierarchy where you have, say, 32GB of the on-board unified memory soldered on to the processor like they have now, and then another eight slots or something of regular DDR5 sticks).

I can tell you my MacBook Pro with the M1 and Mac OS Monetary does not crash. But without knowing the machine and OS version that you have my data point is perhaps not very helpful.

What’s Mac OS Monetary? :)

How much memory do you have? I would suspect faulty ram or a faulty SSD that is causing issues when virtual memory is used.

In general I find macOS very stable. Though I do not use any of the same apps you do aside from Sublime Text and qBittorrent On qBittorrent specifically the application can often "feel" like it is hanging because it brings up modal windows behind the main window, meaning you need to drag the main window away to interact with the modal and the main window will be unresponsive in that time. This may make it feel like i…
To be fair, MacOS itself doesn't seem to have issues. There seems to be no upper limit to possible uptime. It's just applications.

I'm using Mac Mini M1 with Mac OS Monterey.
I would definitely take it in to be looked at. That should not be happening. Crash logs will hopefully point a finger at the problem.
