I do find myself unexpectedly curious to know what is so special about the cloth (not enough to shell out, mind!), since they were included in the super-duper expensive screen (XDR?) with the mesh option. To be fair, the definitely-not-Velcro hook and eye used on the Apple Watch sports bands is definitely much better than Velcro.

Apparently you can't get the cloths before December now...

First a chip shortage, then an (elemental) silicon shortage. God forbid there’s a microfibre shortage 😂

The cloth is certified to work on all Apple devices.

Apparently, someone has produced a rootkit to make it work on Android devices.

Presumably only a small shortage.

Tin has started to hit the streets...

M1 Max vs Intel 16" MacBook Pro: Just Benchmark Madness!

Mine turns up tomorrow apparently. Should be interesting!

Bid my old 15-inch MacBook Pro adieu today as I finally packed it up to trade-in. It's winging its way to Lutterworth as we speak.

Replacement M1 Max MBP running for little over a week now - so far so good. Quiet, deadly fast, and super cool - CPU temps stable around 43-46C compared to the 6th gen Intel which would hover around 73-78C with lots of fans running.

Have started playing around with Windows 11 for ARM (Insider Preview) under Parallels - pretty easy install. Boots and runs in around 7 seconds so also fairly snappy.
