I am wondering about the RAM extensibility. The 7040 can be extended to have 128GB RAM (for example Crucial CT2K64G56C46S5) - anyone knows if the same still works?

We're testing those specific modules now. Initial testing shows that it should work the same as on 7040 Series, but we will complete validation before updating our Knowledge Base article on memory compatibility.

This can't change the browser defaults, it only works in some, not all, contexts, so you can't have a consistent experience

this. I know multiple people running lenovo x200 and x210 as their main daily driver

We need laws that these megacorps have to show in an easy and understandable form which data is collected and what happens to the data. If they do fail to explain this (in 5 sentences or less) - they should pay insane fines per day. It is the only way (and solves the debt crisis of the US at the same time). It is ridiculous that we do have this situation in 2025 that we do not know which data is processed or not.

This looks cool. However my goal with Berb is pretty much browser to browser only. Although if people keep asking for other features, I might consider a desktop/mobile app.

Does this give us any indication on when Apple will be ditching x86 support?

Late 2027 or 2028 most likely. MacOS version lifespan is about 3 years give or take so we'll have a better idea once they announce whether or not MacOS 16 (Sequoia's successor) will support Intel Macs.

I have a hunch we'll get one more MacOS version with Intel support since they were still making Mac Minis and Pros with Intel chips in the first half of 2023.

any day now, usually after 6-7 years after hardware releases.

We probably have a few more years to go then. Consider that they were still selling Mac Pro 2019 Intel systems as late as June, 2023.

I'm not convinced this year's OS release will support Intel. When they switched to Intel, Apple was quicker to dump PowerPC than people remember.

I'd be surprised if they don't support it for at least one more release. With Intel, they discontinued the PowerPC systems much faster (by the end of 2006.) They were still selling Intel hardware 2 years ago, a couple years into the ARM / Apple Silicon transition.

I’ve got my own qualms with lex, but when it comes to programming content, he does a good job just facilitating and letting things flow.

More programmers Lex!

I would say more normies.

Only after Lex started talking to politicians I realized how dull they are.

Just compare Aella and Netaniahu or Peter Levels and Trump. Or Narendra Modi and ThePromeagean.

I wouldn't class world leaders together with politicians. If you find the heads of state boring that's fine I guess, but some of us find long form interviews with the political leaders of major countries fascinating. Keep them coming, Lex.

True, but some people in the process of moving to Linux depend on workflows that work on Mac only (at least until they fully moved to Linux). For me this was: Davinci Resolve (no h.264 support on Linux) and Adobe Suite - that I could continue to use. The compelling case for hackintosh is that you can dual boot it if you need to.

I would love to know more about this. Would it not be (at least theoretically) possible to hackintosh ARM, as Asahi Linux reverse engineered at least some parts of the M series?
