How did you get it to run on a 2021 MBP, since macOS Monterey drops support even for the 2013 and some 2014 models?

That analogy fails badly. It could be said of any fiat currency. Take some Japanese Yen to different country where it is not a readily accepted legal tender and give it in a supermarket. I’m sure the response would be the same as what you q

On the competition, like Qualcomm, many Apple engineers (IIRC several tens of them) from the chip design team left and formed a new company called Nuvia, which was then acquired by Qualcomm in the beginning of this year. Apple has had a big

If you think you’d need an external monitor for something, I doubt if a 15” or 16” will be anywhere near a satisfactory replacement even temporarily. Of course, it’s (to me, uncomfortably) larger than the 13” or 14”. I’d suggest physically

Your wish wouldn’t work on iOS. Apple hasn’t so far focused on adding Internet access permission. Every app on the device gets access to the network by default. There is no way to stop one app from accessing the Internet while allowing othe

The mandatory requirement of a phone number to even set this up (with SMS as the verification method) doesn’t suit me. I use other TOTP apps that don’t ask for a phone number or email address or anything else.

If it’s going to really save a significant amount of data center resources, then it’s also probably going to reduce the battery lifespan of all these devices significantly. That may probably be good for Apple’s bottom line temporarily, but
