Iâ(TM)ve had three Macs this week affected. ProMotion turned off or the Mac is in clamshell mode, next boot the Mac does not start up. Affecting macOS 13.6 and 12.7. Itâ(TM)s widely known in the Macadmins community. DFU restore is not required, a revive and then reinstall of macOS is needed. User data should be ok.

Microsoft Teams can, as long as you have an Intel CPU with AVX2, or AMD Zen 2 or newer which came out in 2019.

Where I live a two bed maisonette is £200-£220. Three bed is £350-450k. Four bed £500-600k. Weâ(TM)re still stuck with a mortgage being 4x your salary. Average wage of around £30k will only get you £120k, even in rough areas you wonâ(TM)t find a decent home that doesnâ(TM)t need any work done to it for less than that, on top of needing to raise at least 10% deposit. Only positive is interest is low at the moment. Renting, youâ(TM)re paying 50% more than you would if you were paying off a mortgage.

Yep. Apple assisted Acorn Computers spinning off ARM Holdings, then Apple became a 43% stakeholder. To this day Apple have ~20% shares in ARM, Softbank retained 10% overall after Nvidia buyout.

The first Apple Silicon processor for the MacBook/MacBook Air will more than likely be faster than the i9-10980HK, one of Intel's most powerful laptop CPUs. Then there are more features to accelerate tasks even more - I'm sure Apple will have a Neural Engine and transistors for audio and video processing, cryptography, etc etc.

PIN will get reused everywhere as well - phone, voicemail, tablet, house alarm, credit/debit card. You can tell the end user they can use a complex PIN with letters, numbers etc., they just end up reusing a password they use all over the place.

I'm all for U2F, keycards, 2FA/MFA etc.

EBU has R118 tiering system for cameras, and they are pretty restrictive. Cameras have to pass testing and be certified. Broadcasters use these tests for themselves. More info: https://tech.ebu.ch/docs/r/r11...

Pumping the water back up to the upper reservoir is slow, however.

Surely anyone that uses Bing always searches "Google", then they use Google - they'd never see this. Microsoft has nothing to worry about.

They must have had thousands of directors to go with those VP jobs too.

Now Office is updated once a month. The version number are out of control like Chrome and Firefox. :D

If this is of any help, 2019 is simply marketing. I've been chatting to the Mac devs for a while, "Office will be called 2019 whenever the marketing team decide to call it 2019". They have only just forked for VL and boxed versions of Office at version 16.6.2, they have released version 16.17 which has no changes in features. Office 16.17 available for O364 subscribers and is still called "2016".

This is the only official notice people had for Mac updating:

"A BIG reminder to everyone that installer divergence will occur tomorrow around ~10am. If you use macadmins.software or direct FWLink download to get your packages you need to make sure you deploy the correct version for your users. O365 activated users on macOS 10.12 and later can use 16.17 (FWLink 525133). Everyone else, including 2016 VL and O365 on 10.10/10.11 will need 16.16.2 (FWLink 871743). If you have scripts and workflows and don’t have time to implement the separation logic, stick to 16.16.2 for all users as it works for all scenarios until 9/24, when 2019 VL comes along."

There has been one major f'up with updates, from the above paragraph. 16.16 will become deactivated if upgraded to 16.17, which many people have done accidentally. When I mean many, I know of organisations with thousands of workstations. Windows requires a manual install because it uses the click-to-run installer and cannot be deployed any other way, and there is no support for terminal servers anymore so there is no easy way to get Office running. Macs are easy as you can install using a PKG, however, it is not possible to discern between what should be O365 and 2016/19 versions, and then some will only work on macOS 10.12 or later, so everyone is being kept back on 2016 if at all possible.

I agree also. Had Motorola phones, they run almost vanilla Android. However, after a year they get forgotten about. It is not the lack of new features that necessarily irks me, it is they never release security updates. There are some very bad malware out there, latest problems with 'disk in the middle' attacks, and the latest attacks using AT commands https://www.usenix.org/confere... are scary! Wil Android hardware manufacturers update their devices, maybe Google and Samsung, the rest maybe not.

It is certified by the FDA for AFib and ECG.

I wouldn't blame the emulator, blame Oracle. The emulator runs off a VirtualBox player VM. I have also found VirtualBox and VMWare to have kernel modules installed on my Mac as well.
