The entire dev team has Macs. Most have Intels. Many are on M1. Some are on M2.
Security/IT teams feel the pain, dealing with all sorts of weird things. And their solution lately is saying “fuck it” and giving the dev a M2. Which is a bandaid as what if M3 and onwards continues to break something?
Fortunately, my team builds software and runs everything through docker.
It’s not like this came out of the blue. The PowerPC to Intel transition was recent enough that it’s still fully documented on the web with forum posts by frustrated users. It’s Apple. Their attitude has always been that users have to deal with it.
And yet they have a reputation for being easy to use.
That’s Apple brainwashing. Anyone who ever tried to offer remote support via TeamViewer probably knows how Mac users then fail to grant screen recording and input permissions to TeamViewer. Before they do that on their own, they can get any remote support.
Are they doing full blown ARM processor’s now? I thought they still had enough devices less than three years old that still used Intel because of the COVID manufacturing delays.
macOS: Noo we broke compatibility with 64-bit and with Intel

My company is currently working through this.

I do the same. Docker buildx to the rescue.
Mac: can you install this 10 year old program: no.
Or simply just: Too old version not supporting latest macos version.
THEY BREAK SHIT WHEN THEY RELEASE A NEW MACOS HOLY FUCK.
Meanwhile, Torvalds: We do not break userspace, motherfucker!
The love of Linux is great and ever expanding.
The cookie banner was really good.
Me: can you run this cool game I found
Mac: no

As far as I know they still support some of their old Intel lineup, but it’s all ARM for new devices now.
