The Adobe Suite runs natively in ARM for macOS, excluding an app or two like Adobe Acrobat, which still runs via Rosetta as Intel. They've almost completely converted their entire Suite to Apple silicon now.

This is literally the worst possible suggestion. He's storing torrents, and FAT has a file size limit of 4 GB. It's also even slower and crappier than exFAT. ZFS is a massive headache to maintain on macOS and it's not worth the hassle. APFS isn't as good as ZFS, but APFS has data integrity...

They're probably becoming worn out. I didn't have that issue with my 14, but they are very tiny speakers, so they won't be able to take much abuse over time. I would contact Apple about the issue and see if they have any solutions.

It's proprietary and Apple doesn't want to invest resources to reverse engineer NTFS drivers to work with macOS in that way, on top of the fact that it could be a possible point of corruption if it's not done properly. NTFS read/write works okay in Linux, but can also have issues with corruption...

It's actually a lot more durable than I was expecting. From the video: "It holds up surprisingly well. Like suspicious black magic levels of structural integrity going on." It looks like horizontal bending is fine. Vertical bending, not so much. But nobody is going to be bending their devices...

If anyone can do it, it's Qualcomm. As for Apple's M chips, the single core CPU performance has not been very impressive year after year. Their GPUs have seen the biggest jumps in performance. The Airs are impressive for what they are. The battery life is hilariously long. If they can match or...

I hope it's a lot more than that considering the Air has the absolute lowest end version of the M chip that Apple makes. I still want these chips to do as awesomely great as possible. The M3 is no longer the target though, since Apple just announced the M4.

Never in a million years, no. People have been asking for that for decades.

First of all, stop using exFAT as your external HDD format. It is significantly slower than the Apple APFS partition format. It's garbage, unless you are planning on using it across multiple operating systems. But if that's your plan, then I still wouldn't use exFAT and would instead format it...

What is this? The 90s? Why do people keep parroting this crap? There are over 100 million Mac users. Millions of those users are on outdated and vulnerable versions of macOS. Although 100 million is a significantly smaller user base than PCs, that is still a massive target to hit. Macs get...

This is yet another reminder of how old I'm getting. 😬

Yep. Geekbench is mostly meaningless for real world use. The testing in reviews will paint a clearer picture.

Yeah. It seems like they're just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. They've completely and utterly lost the hardware console war, and now they're trying to hyper focus on the subscription model in a time where everyone is reducing their subscriptions as much as possible in a...

Exciting stuff.

Maybe they'll do something useful with iPadOS later this year? Because as of right now, the iPads can't even take advantage of all this excess power. The OS is really holding it back.
