The point I was making was that something doesn’t need to be used often for it to be important and for you to want it to be reliable. Also, the horn is a signal. It allows you to evade and alert other users that something needs their attent

If the hardware is exotic I guess you’d have no choice. But for security critical don’t you run the risk of relying on obscurity rather than security due to the niche-ness of your stack? What does a vendor compiler do or do better than a c

Thanks for your answer! What makes it so that AutoCAD is not high end? Like what features does it lack or what workflows does it not support? Suppose something like CATIA was available on Mac and offered lets say a performance benefit. Woul

Oh I don't know. Maybe the hackers will hold their operation hostage for ransom? Get the money and get some nice PR all at the same time!

GDDR4 is also affected?

Agreed! I'd say the SSD is a real, literal, game changer. Extra resolution is just more of the same really.

8K output support doesn't really cost much so I wouldn't worry about it. It doesn't matter to most of the GPU internals. Games will internally run at whatever resolution they think results in the best quality/responsiven
