Sure, I’ve been around since cassette drives and floppies and have seen this trend developing for a couple of decades at least. It is an inevitable consequence of ruinous corporate psychopaths. They do it to everything. Even punk wasn’t safe from the corporations. Interesting article though, thanks
How long do you think it will take to update reason to work on ARM Macs?

One positive thing to come out of the followup interviews with Apple engineers after WWDC was that they want to ensure the Mac remains a computer open to tweaking and experimentation where users can even totally disable SIP (system integrity protection) if they wish. They understand and want to preserve the distinction between Mac and iPad.
Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilized into time and tune.
I believe there are REs that use SSE instructions. Not sure how well those translate over to the ARM equivalent extensions. Some VSTs use AVX2 as far I'm aware the Apple Silicon does not support the ARM version of that yet.
I’m pretty sure that Apple Silicon supports the SSE instructions that are supported by LLVM. It only seems to be the newer instruction sets that are not (yet) supported.
So hopefully the conversion should go smoothly for all REs.
Intel chips are over priced anyway. Apple could have made them cheaper if they had used AMD chips.
Apparently the ARM Macs wont have discrete GPUs, so Apple are also saving money by using their own graphics solution.

I wonder why it is that people will take their grievences with Windows to the grave but will have endless patience for Apple's constant f-ing about... Ahem sorry, 'innovation'

c'mom let's be real shall we? We're talking about a company that never bothered to modernize the UI of their software yet charges customers for upgrades. Arm code? LOL - who even cares?
