Sure. But back then there was no "cloud" either. AWS alone is ramping up on AMD offerings. There's an AMD counterpart for almost every instance type today (suffixed by "a"). I think the world is a lot more ready to

That sounds great! I have a workflow that uses a network mounted HFS+ image for Time Machine backups that are then backed up to my GDrive. Anything to reduce the incremental backup size would help this.

I'm not sure I got this from the article but what exactly is the advantage of using APFS over HFS+ for Time Machine? The only advantage that was highlighted was per file encryption which seems to be an exclusive to the Apple Silicon Ma

Well, I did build a hackintosh and the parts you claim need to be fixed are exactly the parts I claim are not spent wisely on. You're paying for compatibility not performance. I mean the AMD offerings are no where near Nvidia, particul

You generally build a hackintosh machine with parts that are most compatible with MacOS and not necessarily the best bang for buck. So, I agree with the argument from the article here. If ARM makes the build obsolete, then all you now have

And not to mention profiting off of the patches and fixes the maintainers provide and almost never contributing back. I am definitely happy to see attempts to help the creators.

I think it's easier to understand the context if you replace "publishers" with "content producers".

I can vouch for this too. I have a nightly cron job that uses rclone to sync my Apple Time Machine disk to Google Drive and I have yet to see it fail. Particularly, the Time Machine disk is a bunch of tiny (8 MB) files.
