Yes but there’s always bugs and some of those bugs lead to privilege escalation. Phones mostly just remove the “user clicked yes on the root access prompt” attack. And other attack surface reductions.

Like any other computer

Which again would be cheaper if they put the chips in separate enclosures. Just way bigger and more power usage.

Macs are good at video editing because Apple actually givesa shit about hardware encoding. NVENC is the only competitor. Everything else is shit.

Can you give me an example? The video you linked has a timestamp to something about video encoding.

Yes as it turns out when your workload is 99999 idle applications, a larger number cores helps more than single core performance. SOCs don’t change that. They just reduce power and space usage at the expense of cost. It makes no sense to point at the special-case computing company and say that their special case will suddenly override a 50 year pattern.

I get what you mean. What I’m trying to say is that desktop/non integrated CPUs are cheaper and this cost savings continues into a large form factor. Apple doesn’t put a desktop chip in their iMacs because they don’t make one. That’s not what their customer base needs. If they did it’d be 4x faster for the same price.

And these arm chips are slower than x86. X86 is so much faster at least for single core performance which matters a LOT more for desktop use cases

An AIO is effectively a laptop without a keyboard. They’re functionally very similar (appealing to less power-hungry users). They’re just less mobile.

Presumably it’s cheaper for apple to just put the integrated CPUs in everything because it’d be expensive to make another model.

I garuntee you this trade off only makes sense for Apple. Other AIOs don’t always have the new laptop chips from Intel because it makes more sense to use the desktop one with all the space they have.

Integrated processors let laptops be faster without also using power. Strictly speaking it’d be cheaper to just use a faster CPU but battery life is more important than cost so lots of money is spent on integrating processors.

Desktops are still around because they’re upgradable and faster than their laptop brothers.

Desktop PCs are so much more powerful and fast than laptops of the same spec. Not to mention cheaper.

High integration on laptops decreases space and cost by wildly increasing battery life for the same battery

Same with Ethernet

It’s a router if it operates on layer 3. Most WiFi routers only use two interfaces (ISP side and WiFi) and yet they are routers. They also provide a layer 3 firewall.

I wonder how they define “router”. Any device with two network interfaces can be made into a router.

Edit: phrasing

Oh no not systemctl --user restart pipewire.service!
