SUPAREELS Posted Wednesday at 05:29 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:29 PM I wondered about the move to M4 and if you guys are using it. Also NI with this format .. I have been using Win in all it's formats to Win11pro for so many years, but lately I'm feeling it's future may be an awful lot more than I want to allow them to use .. in terms of privacy .... No great shakes .. but I am a little worried about the future of MS and their constant updates and whatnots ...🔍🤐 Steve ( SR MUSIC ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roseberry Posted Wednesday at 06:43 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:43 PM You might want to worry more about Google... which affects all computer users. You should see the "Cloud Facility" they're building about 10 minutes from our house. It looks much more like a military compound than a large server facility. Sprawled across a thousand acres, many large cryogenic cooling towers... just waiting to mine everyone's data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as this forum is mostly about Sonar, a Windows-only program, you probably won't get many replies in the affirmative here. Maybe Vi Control or some other forum? I don't know why people think Apple is any better than MS about updates and data gathering. One of my big issues with Apple products is that they are forced into obsolescence when the underlying hardware is still capable of doing the job. Microsoft goes to a lot of effort to make sure that legacy programs and drivers aren't broken by OS updates. Apple, not so much. They have a financial incentive for users to bin their old hardware and buy new, and unfortunately, they may take advantage of their position as the sole legal supplier of the OS and the hardware it runs on. They can decide not to allow the OS on computers of a certain age and then you're just out of luck. Later versions of the OS can be forced on to earlier hardware that has been deprecated by Apple, but it's much more difficult than, say, tricking Windows 11 to install on a Windows 10 system that is supposedly incapable of running it. As for data gathering, if anyone thinks that Apple is somehow "better" than Microsoft in regard to data privacy....I don't know why anyone would think that. All that said, I think Macs are great and that their new CPU's are a genuine step forward. I wish I could afford one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
