I’m not sure why you thought my comment was defensive. It wasn’t in disagreement with you. I was pointing out that legally, because of Apple’s founder status, they have more rights to modify the ARM core than, for instance, Qualcomm or Samsung.
As far as I know both all of the ARM chips that Apple makes are heavily modified to the point that it’s never been totally clear if it is a superset or not.
Apple was part of the founding of the current version of ARM and produced the first consumer mobile ARM device. As a result they uniquely have extreme latitude to use the ARM core however they want. There are differences to the hardware as well as the instruction set. The combined graphics memory and ram for instance.
You might try using rEFInd instead.
The market didn’t let this happen. Years of bad anti-monopoly practices have seen companies like Adobe buy out their competition.
As a result the amount of money it would take to simultaneously catch up to Adobe’s decades of development and compete with them at scale even with just one of their products is far outside what a lot of people are willing to invest.
The same is true for a lot of “big tech” right now. Imagine you wanted to start your own music streaming service…
In addition to what others have said I would imagine the Pentium OverDrive would be among those losing support as well.
Mint is an Ubuntu derivative.
It’s interesting what different companies consider success. Apple sold far more iPhone Minis in 3 years and yet the phone is considered to have no market.
I wonder if other companies entering the handheld space, like Lenovo and Asus for instance, will see numbers like this and bail like they did last time they tried Steam Machines?
Have to? No they don’t. Do they think we are stupid? They want to. The CLOUD Act mentioned in the article only applies to data created by US citizens.
In fact the main purpose of the act was to allow the executive branch to enter into information sharing agreements with said countries to bypass warrants here in the US. If you are a US citizen using a mail service with for instance EU based servers there is less protection legally for your emails.
