The post is interesting itself, but the addendum, > This post brought to you by gdb and grep -a Where author recovers text from Firefox core dump, is just hilarious.
That part also grabbed my attention. How would I do the core dump? (How do I attach gdb to Firefox? Doesn’t it need debug data from the compiler like what you get with gcc -Og?)
I know the Asahi-Linux people are very correct, but I'd be tempted to just throw the Apple libraries into Ghidra and see what they do.
And a completely unreleated thought, maybe it is possible to remove the safetly limits on speakers of other brands and apply the same strategy to get better sound?
I keep trying out Android phones and Windows laptops but the hardware are always inferior to Apple products. The competition has caught up and even surpassed Apple in Software but Apple has a big lead in chips, speakers, build quality.
I still don't get it why, because they drive them past the nominal volume limit? MacBooks definitely sound much better than anything else I've tried. Just bought a new ThinkPad P14s and despite featuring the Dolby logo, speakers there are just unusable - I can barely understand words in YouTube videos sometimes, and it's not related to volume. (Still using T430 for bedtime YouTube.)
If you look at Marcan's video stream you can see how the system watches the temperatures of the coils https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjuYJjkGhRo&t=22214s

That's an incredibly useful trick and now I wonder if there is a small Windows utility that makes it easy to recover similar ghost data?

IDK, it pales in comparison to any decent monitor speaker. Even the cheapest. Laptops unfortunately always sounds "from inside a cardboard box".
I think your experience might be outdated. My M1 Mac's screen broke recently and I'm forced to use it with the lid closed and an external screen until I get a replacement. I'm using the cheapest external screen I can get because I don't like using external screens and am just bridging the gap until I get a new laptop. The monitor speakers are absolutely horrible, frankly I don't understand why they even added them. I…
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_monitor:
Among audio engineers, the term monitor implies that the speaker is designed to produce relatively flat (linear) phase and frequency responses.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Bought an M1 for my SO two years ago. You can tell she's playing sound through it from another room, even the TV built-in speakers sound better. I am not dissing Apple devices in particular, but rather all laptops. With speakers so small, there's only that much one can do. But then again, criticizing Apple hardware is a downvote bonanza every time, because Apple users need to feel like a particular demographic .
Any 14"+ Apple laptop since 2019 sounds much better than any other laptop that's ever been in the market. The 2019 15" and all 16" models even more so.
They're so good that before covid we stopped using the Jabras at the office for confs and started using the laptops.
They're good enough for lightweight music playing and even watching some TV.
No, they don't compare to monitor speakers. No, they don't compare to my 7.1.4 surround system. No, they don't compare to any decent room-sized stereo or surround setup. They are still pretty great.

There is a difference between "monitor speaker" and "speaker built-into the monitor". The parent might have had the former in mind. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_monitor : Among audio engineers, the term monitor implies that the speaker is designed to produce relatively flat (linear) phase and frequency responses.
This is curious reading since my Intel MacBook speakers crackled all the time as it grounded through me.
If you live in one of these countries, in rented accomodation, there's not much you can do about this.
And yet, most electronics are fine. It seems like MacBooks are some of the worst though, giving you shocks and crackling audio.
