The entire point of this phone is that it's the iPhone 8 body. Smaller than the XR, still uses Touch ID and home button.

Hopefully they'll release a hobbyist version of the x86_64 version once that's released. BTW, I googled for info about the VSI Hobbyist program and found recent discussions on comp.os.vms! Nice to see someone still using newsgroup

The answer is to use the web client. Either put the ID into https://zoom.us/join , or someone else on HN said that replacing '/j' with '/wc/join' in a URL will use the web client.

Ughhh, this is probably where Zoom got the idea from.

Man, it's disappointing to hear this has stayed the same for so long. In the future, Apple should sandbox 'preflight' to disallow writing files, and then enforce it as a condition of notarization.

Since this .pkg completely subverts how packages are supposed to work, none of the files show up in Pacifist. Everything is in 'Scripts', which is a .cpio.gz.

I just downloaded Zoom for Mac, saw that it was a .pkg file. Great, I can see what files it installs before I install it. I open the .pkg, click Continue so it can run its script, then a second later Installer quits and the app launches. Wh

Exactly. By “clearing the deck” of all APIs (and software using them) that won’t make it to ARM, they can position it as the same OS and apps, just running on a more-efficient chip. And for 90+% of Catalina-compatible apps, a recompile is a

Have they? I've never heard anything about that. Microsoft has been shipping x86 emulation in ARM64 machines for the past few years. (And does original Xbox back-compat emulate x86 also? Or was it statically recompiled to PPC somehow?)

Interesting, this is for encrypting server-server traffic. My question: how did Apple end up doing this work in Camrose, Alberta?

by mrpippy 7y ago
I hope not, historically you've always been able to run the MathKernel from a terminal and interact with it that way. Maybe this is the same thing, just more targeted to use as an interpreter.

Shortcuts.app allows simple scripting on iOS and is free from Apple. Pythonista is also on iOS.

Intel only allows ECC with Xeons, meaning a big price jump if nothing else.

Worth remembering: the current non-pro iMac doesn’t have a T2 chip. Non-T2 Macs will be supported by macOS for years to come.
