  • The future of Apple and Apple Silicon.

    As we draw closer to the release of Apple’s first ARM based Macs it is interesting to watch various people speculate about the future – I generally avoid the clickbait in favour of Snazzy Labs, Rene Richie which have a more measured tone in terms of forecasting where they think Apple will go. Although there…

  • Mac and ARM based SoC.

    Something that I realised when thinking about the fact that the move to ARM based Mac’s will enable the running of native iOS/iPadOS applications on macOS about what it might mean for Google applications that run on iOS/iPadOS. For example, for years people on various Apple forums have complained about the subpar integration between macOS…

  • The next SoC in the Samsung Galaxy.

    After much excitement was created after Samsung announced their return to using bog standard designs from ARM rather than a custom core architecture there was also the rumour that the next Samsung device next year (rumoured to be the Samsung Galaxy S21) will be shipping with it along with an AMD GPU. Unfortunately it appears,…

  • Making a big decision.

    After much umming and arring over the subject I decided to renew the extra domain I have. The primary reason? holding out for the next Samsung Galaxy phone running Android that will also have Samsung’s new SoC that is rumoured to being using a standard ARM design coupled with an AMD GPU and their own…

  • China and the United States.

    Chilling out at home before I head off to sleep and while doing so it is fun reading through the technology news, in particular, the whole to and fro that is happening between China and the United States (and it’s allies). I’m not going to pick sides since I’m not well versed regarding the ins…

  • Election has been postponed a month.

    The government, after pressure from other parties in parliament, have announced that the election has been postponed a month so that the COVID-19 clusters can be addressed so that voters can feel safer turning out to vote. I find it funny how those parties that put pressure are convincing themselves that it gives them room…

  • Waiting for the big announcement.

    Well, it looks like this week I am able to sneak in an extra payment (to reduce my debt) due to the way in which my my pay and the amount due all overlap in a strange way – so there is an extra payment that I can slip in which will hopefully mean I’ll…

  • Making my house a little bit smarter.

    Ever since upgrading to 10.15.6 I’ve been having bugginess regarding Continuity or more specifically when answering my iPhone on my iMac and MacBook Pro. The call will ring and then when I click on ‘answer’ nothing comes through on my computer. In the end I signed out on all of my Macs, iPhone and Apple…

  • Moving the platform forward.

    Apple has pushed out the public beta of macOS 11.0 which includes a variety of new features (features not found in previous builds) as well as correcting known bugs from previous builds (link). My impression so far is that it is in a better position than it was last time and I think that has…

  • I hate being sick.

    Well, I turned up to work today and puked a lung out – my boss through it would be best, given the circumstances, to head back home and take sick leave. I don’t know how I got sick but I do know when occurred which was on Sunday and by the time Monday rolled around…
