Sure, they relied on community Linux drivers in the past, but that didn't have anything to do with money.
This is a shocking development.
If you want to run bare metal Linux on Apple's hardware (instead of running it in a virtual machine) you are the target audience.
It allowed a machine running Intel's EFI firmware (as Intel Macs have always done) to boot an OS that only understood the older BIOS standard.
Once Microsoft and the various PC vendors started supporting UEFI directly, Bootcamp was just a bundle of existing Windows drivers from the component vendors.
If you put a specific Broadcom Wi-Fi chip in the Mac, Bootcamp included Broadcom's Windows driver that was best suited for that chip.
You can still boot Linux natively on it.
You can run any flavor of Linux you like in a virtual machine, while booted into the native OS.
Apple replaced MTE with an upgraded version that can run in synchronous mode all the time without the performance hit.
> Consider that MTE can be configured to report memory corruption either synchronously or asynchronously. In the latter mode, memory corruption doesn’t immediately raise an exception, leaving a race window open for attackers... We believe memory safety protections need to be strictly synchronous, on by default, and working continuously.

Google may just be getting ready to follow suit.

I don't think the project kept up with changes to the APIs over the decades compared to how well the Wine project kept up with changes in Windows.
You can take advantage of larger amounts of memory, higher memory bandwidth, and clustering multiple systems.
How is using an open source framework to run open models a monopoly move?
However, I don't think they expected the level of Enterprise interest they saw.
Classic monopoly move by who?
Apple created MLX as an open source framework to allow users to run any open model locally.
Google sought to ban the sale of Microsoft products that used the H.264 video standard on a global basis if Microsoft didn't hand over a literal fortune.
> Microsoft and Motorola are embroiled in a legal spat around the world over the software giant’s alleged use of Motorola industry-standard H.264 patents in its many products. Motorola has argued that Microsoft has used the technology illegally and should have its products banned until it licenses them.
Motorola says that Microsoft should pay $4 billion for the use of its technology, applying a 2.25 percent royalty based on product price.

By Apple, you mean Microsoft.
The early Android device makers had to pay a per device patent licensing fee to Microsoft.
Google sued Microsoft for massive amounts of money using video standards essential patents they purchased from Motorola, but it didn't work out well for them in court.

Once the upstreaming was largely done, they first mentioned beginning the work of adding M3 support in the February progress report.
Now we have this:
> With all of this progress coming on top of milestones already reached on M3, we are pleased to announce that we are almost ready to cut an official release! We will have more to say about this in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
I'm not seeing any reason for gloom or doom.
You can't think of an Enterprise use case for GPUs that has become popular of late?
However they still have to nail single core performance on chips that can operate without a fan before they can be said to have caught up.
When you make a big chunk of your revenue selling Enterprise Servers, you can no longer rely on drivers written by volunteer labor, as they did in the past.
You're always been able to backup and restore your iPhone to your local Windows PC or a Mac using free first party software from Apple.
The only mainstream browser left that can still run the full version of uBlock Origin is Firefox.
All the others have the same limitations imposed by Manifest V3.
They don't do it for every extension, but they do so for a wide selection of popular options.
> Recommended extensions differ from other extensions that are regularly reviewed by Firefox staff in that they are curated extensions that meet the highest standards of security, functionality and user experience. After receiving Recommended status, safety standards are maintained through automated checks, monitoring, and periodic technical reviews

So block them.
> 2. Many parents are themselves addicted and don't understand the harms or choose to ignore them
People are allowed to make choices others find objectionable.
> 3. Even children who don't use social media can be harmed by these platforms.
Bullying predates social networking and happens even without internet access.
> You already have no privacy online
If EVERYONE has to submit an ID before they are allowed to communicate on the internet, it becomes a much more dystopian world.
Stop trying to control EVERYONE and educate parents on existing tools that are available to protect their own children, if they choose to use them.
That's not a fantasy.
It's also a much less restrictive option than forcing EVERYONE to give up their privacy.
It would be better to use public resources to educate parents on how to use those existing controls, if that is something those parents choose to do with their own children.
