I have a little bit of feedback. I think a little less Apple hardware talk and a little more open source software news and maybe even some development tips would be nice. Hardware review is nice if it’s pertinent to if it’s a good development machine or not, or even if you guys believe something new is going to be a thing that should be considered developing for.

There is a lot going on in the open source space that’s not Apple related, but it seems that Apple dominates the conversation. One example is that the US government has actually put out its preferred languages, and may start to reject any software written in C/C++. Acceptable languages for future use (including any open source libraries to be pulled in for projects) is topped by Rust, Go, and Python.

I like the apple coverage. Although I’m pretty much a normie, except my hobby was music production on apple hardware using LogicPro9 and X but became alarmed at the time of the San Bernardino FBI asking Apple to break into the phone, apple slowing down older phones, and Apple being over 1 trillion dollars, all pointed to the company being a choke point.
Keeping in mind macOS starts with BSD, a relic probably similar to the closed source Unix, but open source. Though macOS is closed.
I’m refurbishing 24 y/o Apple hardware with m.2 drives, i7 CPUs, maxed out ram, double what Apple understood the unit could handle and working out PCIe2? Connection to perhaps either a Powercolor Red Devil 👿 Redeon RX 5700 XT or Sapphire NITRO RX PCIe 3x16 special edition. I haven’t figured out if I have to desolder resolder anything like was done on a later model MacBook Pro on YouTube. I have an iMac that I’m going to dual boot with either Catalina or the latest macOS and nixOS if I can, or a more tame Linux distribution.
One of Michael Bazzell last points before disappearing was to say iOS phones can be converted to highly secure devices similar to pixel/graphene security and similar to any android device by removing (disabling apps and turning off their icons). Apple is an elephant in the room and many artist types use their stuff as appliances.
I spent years learning to navigate LogicPro so I want to access it at times while transitioning to explore Reaper, Ardour, Harrison Mixbus, Davinci, LightWorks, I forget the other Ubuntu Studio DAW and maybe Bitwig (400 USD)
I like to know what’s going with Apple, like the VisionPro and being sued or whatever from the community here rather than click bait number rackets. I may end up contributing or collaborating on VisionPro content. I think world wide, iPhone accounts for about 20% but in the US it’s about 60%. Stuff good to know for content creators. Coder seems a bit positioned more for normies than coders. I feel bad about that for them, but it’s good for me. Maybe there should be a separate podcast for Apple normies?
