I’m not sure if they will be able to make this work, for two reasons:
1. “AI” craze inflating prices will lead to low demand
2. While Windows runs natively, practically no apps do and many will never get ported because it’s a tiny market.
This will lead to most consumers and businesses to choose a x86-64 computer so apps and games run smoothly.
The crux why Apple could pull this off is tight integration of hardware and software, an extremely good transparent emulation layer for older software, control over the development tools that most apps are made with, and most importantly discontinuation of their Intel-based machines.
Additionally, they’ve had the same underlying OS and apps that share code running for over a decade on that architecture already on their mobile platforms, and they had the experience from another architecture migration in the mid 2000s.

The US OMB recently published a new logging reference architecture M-26-14 replacing 2021's M-21-31.
I'm not familiar enough with CISA and the bureaucracy to confidently provide a useful analysis, but the two different memorandums are noticeably different that I'm sure someone with more familiarity could say something interesting about the potential consequences, positive or negative.

Just a photo from a walk near #Peretshofen . For a couple of reasons we didn't do a larger tour that weekend but "just" had a nice walk and I had some good chances of practicing a bit photography in my home area.

Used Claude to turn my Architecture Specs -> conformance tests in markdown -> Executable tests run against real deployed implementations.
Failures into go unit tests that runs in the code base.
So dope, verifies the spec is understandable, called out a number of ambiguities, found real bugs.
Prose to conformance testing. Total win.

WHY in 2026 am I having to flip switches in Setup to a "legacy" boot to get it to boot from anything but the network???
OK, so these aren’t exactly new nodes. Supermicro X11 boards with Nutanix firmware(?) that are designed to drop into a cloud infra setup. But we don’t have that.
The boot order SAYS try disks of all flavors but it just doesn't do that.
I blame IBM. This whole architecture was a botch from the start and has just gotten slimier as we've …

This week on #ProFed: security review.
I found a minor issue and took it as an opportunity to systematically check for more security issues. A few small things have been addressed already, more to follow.
The fixes also clean up the architecture in a few places – so the end result is both more secure and cleaner.
