#Emacs users on #Macbooks, I need some opinion on Meta and Ctrl. Which keys have you mapped those to? I’ve mapped Ctrl to left Command and Meta to left Option. I feel comfortable with Command, but not Option as Meta. I’m not touch typist so I mainly use left modifiers (habit from general shortcuts). So I’m wondering what would be a comfortable key binding for Meta on MacBook. Caps lock is already mapped for kbd layout change so I can’t use it.

@seungjin @asmw granted, the disparity is way lower compared to 2,5" (IDE) HDDs that run @ 4200-5400rpm when one had a progress bar for the "suspending from disk" that took over a minute.

  • Nowadays NVMe-SSD even on a bad day do single-digit GBit/s read speeds (rather than double-digit MBit/s on a good day on said mobile HDDs), with basically latency-free access.

The same tech made people believe #MacBooks since the #MacBookAir are inately faster when it's just #flash able to saturate it's PCIe bus...

This isn't Apple's fault, as it still has to follow local laws to sell its products. However, this is a huge #securityfail.

Even though Apple no longer fights for mindshare in the enterprise computing market as it once did, this will force companies that require secure data to either avoid iCloud-enabled apps altogether—which can be hard to do on a Mac—or stop using Macs altogether for anything that processes #PII, #PHI, or even proprietary #sourcecode.

In particular, many #softwaredevelopers prefer #MacBooks since they offer a mainstream user experience but run #Unix under the hood. If they can't use MacBooks anymore for security reasons, companies will have to rethink some of their long-standing laptop and desktop #cybersecurity practices.
