   This seems to be a recurring pattern. Should we be worried? What if FAANG just poach all the good talents and put Intel, IBM, Oracle, etc out of business? Is this not anticompetitive?

   My concern is not with performance but the seemingly energy consumption advantage. If Arm chips perform just as well (or as we've just seen, better) than x86 chips while sipping much less power, why would anyone want x86 on mobile devi

   Qualcomm chips are not that far behind Apple's, and Microsoft has Windows on ARM ready for a while now. Those performance advantage won't be there for long. I think the bigger question is what does this spell for x86-64?

   As some other have mentioned, Rosetta uses AOT translation that contrasts with Microsoft's approach of emulation. I think the contrast in approach here is motive, where I get the impression that Microsoft wanted developers to write ARM

   I'm a little confused. So is this better than an emulator?

   more than that. They reiterated that they will continue to sell Intel Macs for the next few years. I reckon we'll get another decade at least

   I can't believe they're still not giving us an option to toggle this behavior. This is the biggest mistake in macOS.

    are you using 2.4Ghz wifi? Bluetooth uses a similar range and it gets interfered. If you have 5Ghz wifi try it, it might solve your problem.

    I've tried few of the highest rated ones in App Store but they all break sites in different ways sadly. None of them really come close to uBlock

    All of these are of course great but I remember I stopped using it because some JavaScript-heavy sites lagged on it. Also I need tab syncing with my Android phone and adblocking wasn't great on Safari

    this is what that boggles my mind. Like are those benchmarks really comparable? I mean Intel and AMD have been doing this far longer than Apple and it seemed as if Apple just came in and bend the laws of physics that Intel and AMD have been

    The reason is it takes time to reach those top speeds for each individual file. So if you're dealing with many small files it's difficult to reach and sustain the max speed. If you're working with big files like editing 4k or

    This is amazing! I've been handwriting some simple SVGs and this makes that so much simpler. I like how this goes down pixel-level accuracy that provides the simplicity I like and exposes semantics that are familiar to programmers such

    I'm sorry I'm not knowledgeable in that area to tell you what it does, but it works regardless of resolution and quality. 4k or 1080p, it doesn't matter. What's also impressive is it can stream your media at a lower qual

    I don't know how Plex does it, but it burns subtitles in near real time and I don't notice any quality hit

    Any chance you're using Safari?

    I've personally experienced this many times using Safari. Pages that take up a lot of memory just straight up freeze and start chugging.

    I'm guessing it has to do with the trackpads' sensor resolution. MacBooks and newer laptops have high resolution glass trackpads that are much more precise

    of course. Previously your keys are stored securely in a vault in a security facility but now the doors to the security facility is blown wide open. They still need to figure out the Secure Enclave though, which is no easy feat

    I don't know why people keep saying it as if it's something new. It's basically an upgrade/replacement from Skype for Business, feature for feature. Both weren't great but it's still much better than Skype for
