On replacing my #MacBook Air #M1 with a #Thinkpad #T480

Source: https://maxrozen.com/replacing-my-macbook-m1-with-thinkpad-t480

I'm tired of Apple's ecosystem, Apple ID, not being able to change any individual part of my laptop, being charged $200 USD for 8GB of RAM, being charged $200 for 256 GB of SSD, and so on

Loosely comparing #RM1X's internal #sound #generator to my other #gear - #Isobutane

This #video proves nothing (except for my baldness), it was just fun to make.

The first half of the video shows a little #sequence put through the internal sound generator of RM1X.
The second half is the same sequence routed through #MIDI to #Sequential #Prophet Rev2, #Yamaha #EX5R, #Korg #M1, #Behringer #ModelD, #Behringer #Odyssey, and #Novation #DrumStation V1.
Everything is mixed with 1010 Bluebox.

Apple - Shame On You!

Apple keeps exploiting talented, hard-working opensource developers efforts but otherwise - in spite of being a trillion US$ worth corporation - Apple does not give a sh"%t.

"Apple has shipped and used curl in their products for twenty years but they never assist, help or otherwise contribute to the development. They also don’t sponsor us in any way, like with hardware.

Yet, there are many curl users on the different Apple platforms and sometimes these users run into issues that are unique to those platforms and are challenging to address without direct access to such."

Linux: Coming Soon to M1 Macbooks

image

Regardless of the chipset or original intended use of any computer system, someone somewhere is going to want to try and run Linux on it. And why not? Linux is versatile and free to use as well as open-source, so it's quite capable of running on almost anything. Of course, it takes a little while for the Linux folk to port the software to brand new hardware, but it's virtually guaranteed that it's only a matter of time before Linux is running on even the most locked-down of hardware, like the M1 MacBooks.

[Hector Martin] aka [marcan] has been hard at work getting Linux up and running on the latest Apple offerings with their ARM-based M1 processors. Since these are completely divorced from their x86 product line the process had to be worked from the ground up which included both booting Linux and modifying the kernel to include support for the hardware. [marcan] has a lot of hardware working such as the USB ports and the SD card slot, and notes that his setup is even compatible with the webcam notch included in the latest batch of MacBooks.

There are a few things still missing. He's running Arch and doesn't have the GPU configured yet, so all of the graphics are rendered in software. But he has put the computer through the wringer including running some computationally-intense software for nearly a full day before realizing that the machine wasn't charging, which did not make much difference in performance. These machines are indeed quite capable with their new ARM chipsets and hopefully his work going forward will bring Linux to the rest of us who still use Macs even if they don't want to run macOS.
