Gab is not allowed on the App Store.
Gab and Parler both had issues with lack of content moderation. You can't expect Apple to allow apps which wilfully tolerate illegal content.
25.1% Mac growth. For professionals and enthusiasts, you either just got your M1, you’re saving for one, or waiting on the Pro Desktops. I’m curious to see if there’s any change to the replacement rate of Macs. It seems normal for people to use the same laptop for four or more years — a far sight longer than the two-year life expectancy of laptops twenty years ago, but about half of the replacement rate of smartphone…
Yeah, and hold off for now. I'm the guy making sure that new onboards don't get blocked by M1 (as you can't but Intel anymore). Segfaults in docker/qemu (amd64 and arm64) are numerous: I can't build our otherwise boring (and recent) docker images locally - it has to go to a Linux ARM server. What truly bends my mind is that I am getting framerate/audio/input hitching on the desktop when one of the broken containers pegs 3 of the cores at 100% (and it's not just my machine).
It's a circus, wait for M2 or M3 unless your workload is influencing, blogging, and checking email.

Their huge China derived revenue is an increasing problem for Apple from a company stance perspective. They have to increasingly walk a tightrope between servicing that market, kowtowing to the Chinese government, and upholding the values of a California based US Company.
It seems that everyone forgets that approximately 100% of Apple's manufacturing is in China. There are some scattered final assembly here and there, like screwing together the Mac Pro in Texas, and I think the iPhone production in India is non-trivial, but for all intents and purposes the vast, vast majority of Apple's production happens in China, performed by Chinese nationals, who are themselves subject to Chinese…
Man, I wish Steve Jobs were alive to witness the total domination. I imagine he knew but perhaps not to this extent.
That sounds like a different Steve Jobs. For starters, the Mac has a notch now.

What percent of revenue is from iPhone? This is what makes me nervous. They struck absolute gold with the iPhone, what happens if they don't catch the next wave?
The iPhone is a once-in-a-generation product. Virtually no company ever creates a product this successful. Why are you treating that level of success as if it’s the new norm that Apple must repeatedly reach in order to keep up? What happens if they don’t catch the next wave? In that case, they will still be wildly successful. They’ve already had the iPad, which is the clear winner in the tablet market. They’ve alread…
Nokia?

> apple not doing much to help in providing support for it (M1) marcan (lead dev of Asahi Linux) seems to disagree: Looks like Apple changed the requirements for Mach-O kernel files in 12.1, breaking our existing installation process... and they *also* added a raw image mode that will never break again and doesn't require Mach-Os. And people said they wouldn't help. This is intended for us. https://twitter.com/marcan…
It's funny how people come out to celebrate in droves when Apple does the bare minimum to not break their own tooling. Another equally likely scenario is that their changes broke internal tooling, and so they added the raw image mode to give Mac engineers a more reliable entry point for prototyping and testing on the new devices. Regardless, when my mail carrier changes their route to get to my house 30 minutes faste…
The second tweet in the thread reads:
Seriously, I can't think of a single reason why they'd add that for themselves. They build real Mach-Os with their own process. They have no use for raw images.
They are saying "hey, use this, it's easier and we won't break it in the future". This is for Asahi.

Apple typically tries to enter an existing product category that they think they can execute better on or otherwise disrupt. Depending on your viewpoint these can be highly disruptive plays - smart phones were going no place for many demographics until the iPhone came out. Android was going to be a cheaper blackberry clone until they saw what iPhone was doing. But another view of the iPad famously was the Slashdot si…
That was said about the first iPod in 2001, not the first iPad in 2010, and it was said by (editor in chief) CmdrTaco himself.

What they will do is be faster and more widely adopted. Docker (and everyone else) will do the heavy lifting to fix those, including any that are specifically Apple bugs.
