I've been a Crossover customer since their 2012 end of the world sale.

Never used T-Mobile, yet the last T-Mobile breach, I received a postcard from them offering me credit security services because they leaked my information. Turns out that data was from the early 2000's when cell phone store employee checked to see what services I can apply for... WTF!

"Boudin's Bakery" is this the one where their Sourdough Starter, over 150 years old, is so valuable that it is taken from store to store in a Armored Van?

I am certain AMD like most responsible vendors (Seagate) also worked with Apple to correct the issue. Nvidia's issue was that it told all of the laptop vendors to just deal with it. It's why they are hated by other vendors and AMD/Intel worked hard to keep them from creating x86 cpus.

The issue is that Zoom continues to keep the mic open after you quit the App. They blamed it on a bug and said it was fixed in a new version but it's still happening! This is why doing this in the browser would be better or even adding an App Firewall like OverSight to block access to the external devices.

LOL That would be nice!!! Feed an Animated Gif to the Webcam and Whale Noise to the mic!

Objective-See has a utility to do this called OverSight. It's a firewall for your webcams and mics. BUT do not mention this in the Zoom forums as it will be taken down.

Here is a great bit of software from a guy I trust... https://objective-see.com/products/oversight.html

MacOS (Certified Unix OS) is bundled with multiple OpenSource projects since it's initial OS X release, just like many other *nix OSes. It's so easy to install your own version and override it that this is not an issue. Simple response... use brew.

Nothing. NVidia still has it's ARM license and as long as they are kept out of the x86 chip business (thanks to Intel and AMD) they are happy to renew the license with ARM.

Yes but Apple's license for ARM v7 allows it to do anything it wants with the tech regardless of who owns ARM. Only 5 to 7 companies have this license and it's very expensive.

Which is perfect for a HTTP request.

How many GCs are we at with Java?

"my 2017 macbook is spinning fans, as ... like 3 tabs open on chrome" Chrome might be your issue. Doing the same on on a 2015 MacbookPro and it's silent... Firefox.

But it's not and it has been documented. Apple paid for the 3nm process years before TSMC had the fab ready. I'll bet that the moment a new process is available that Apple will invest in it as well.

hmm, Nintendo, Sony, Sega and MS all have a monopoly on their stores. In fact, Target has a monopoly to their retail stores. You can't just sell your crap at Target because you want to. Also to probably lose 50% to the retailers.

It's not Apple's fault that Global Foundry and Intel didn't invest in the 3nm. If you read up on Apple and Intel you would know that Apple (Jobs) was ready to use their CPUs for the iPhone but they won't produce anything other than the x86 (note: StongARM is shelved). Same crap happened with the PowerPC consortium. Motorola would not produce any enhancements in the CPU that dealt with graphics processing cause they only cared about their networking devices. IBM didn't care about power efficiency because they just wanted CPU that were going into their mainframe. Apple worked an agreement with Intel to make the Intel processor (not AMD) exclusive for the Mac, Apple would get new top of the line CPUs in quantity and Intel would get access to Apple's PowerPC patents (AltiVec). Intel also started to ignore the laptop market (just sold underclocked existing processors). Apple dabbled in CPUs with the iPhone 4S and years later released the M1.

Nothing to negotiation. Apple invested (pre-ordered) before 3nm was built.

Yeah but if 1 of your customers offers to prepaid for 10 years of service at the same price you wouldn't turn that away. Allowing you to maintain your other customers. Apple's pre-order of 3nm will get them priority as they ordered it before it was an option. (see Kickstarter)

TSMC may not have needed it but Apple did invest (pre-order) and they will continue to do so. There is not exclusivity but pre-purchased capacity and similar video games and kickstarters. They don't always work out for Apple (the Sapphire glass) but majority of the time they are working out perfectly (iPod Toshiba Hard Drives and the TSMC M1 cpus).

But there wasn't and will never be any overstock at Apple since Tim Cook started working there. In 2008 Apple still had Texas warehouses with old beige Mac but all of the Mac produced in the Tim Cook era do not last more than a 2 - 3 weeks in a warehouse. This includes components and this is why every January after an iPhone release the business journalists start predicting Apple's downfall because they lower their part orders for display, memory, etc. They don't let any of that stuff sit in a warehouse... EVER.

No one was demanding those hard drives, Toshiba was close to shelving it before going into production. Jon Rubenstein convinced Steve Jobs to invest in them for the music device they were building and 8 million was given to Toshiba so they can start producing these drives.

They aren't buying up all of the infrastructure. Samsung and Intel offer the same services. It's not a monopoly for a company to pre-order ahead of time. It's like Kickstarter but at a grander level.

They did for the glass manufacturer who built the large panels for the Apple Flagship Store in NYC. They also invested in Corning for building the glass for the iPhone (Tech that Corning shelved for decades).

9000!!! In the PHP Dev environment, 9000 has been used for debugging for over a decade and the fpm-php project comes out and uses 9000 as their default. This is the definition of shooting yourself in the foot. Both solutions can easily switch ports but why choose 9000. It's not like xdebug was an obscure piece of software, it's the most widely used debugger on the platform.

Why? Apple has always stated they don't want to be in an enterprise like market. It stifles innovation. While you can keeps adding features to your product you can never take away from it. Ex: x86 and Windows. Meanwhile Apple has removed entire CPU functionality from their chips since the release of the iPhone 4S. This was easy because they only had to deal with their own developers. This keeps them agile and able to change from 1 release to another.

Just because you have money doesn't mean you have a market. Just to run a plate to create test cpus cost in the millions. All others were happy with the incremental upgrades that they were getting from ARM. Apple needed more and started creating CPUs for the iPhones a few years back

Not in the x86 arena. Every time Apple gets involved with a CPU developers (Motorola, IBM, Intel) their needs splits from the developers desires. This time they decided to go on their own (well after years of doing this for the iPhone). Note: They have been involved in the ARM CPU market since the days of the Newton.

I have a top of the line Windows 10 i7 laptop and Outlook will create more heat than any other process I am running. Now introduce Windows Modern Standby and we get a real SH*T SHOW.

Also investing billions into the platform. Creating libraries and offering them for free use on their platform even Epic uses these libraries, read their comments on iOS Metal APIs.
