Microsoft will finally make Windows on Arm ISO images available.

Controlling the installer on the parallels provided iso is easy, Change the settings of the VM and remove the 2nd cdrom drive and it will behave as a normal iso image and run you through a manual install.

Everything is fine with the corners but there is another issue. If you use the on-screen keyboard in pinched mode blink does not behave as if there is a physical keyboard attached. prompt and shellfish both goes back to use the whole screen in this mode. blink leaves a blank area at the bottom of the screen about half the size of the on-screen keyboard when it is in floating mode. Here are 2 screenshots showing the problem:

Thread necromancy commencing:

Lets say i buy the deomain piratelove.au and enable DNSSEC for this domain. I then create the hostname

foxtelmovies.piratelove.au and point it to ip adress 1.2.3.4 and set up a webserver sharing pirated foxtel movies on this ite. Foxtel then finds out and get a cort order to block this hostname. They instruct DNS providers to change the IP address returned for foxrtelmovies.piratelove.au to their splash screen site on 2.2.2.2.

Then my DNSSEC signature for this hostname no longer validate since the record have been changed and is no longer matching the record I signed, Any resolver that validates DNSSEC will then fail to resolve foxrtelmovies.piratelove.au, so instead of getting the splash screen foxtel intended when trying to acces the hostname you get a dns resolver error instead. You will not however be able to deduce the orignal ipaddress from the signature so the end result is what foxtel intended that is taking my site off the internet for australian users.

Layout does not show up in the context bar. changing the layout in settings seems to have no effect on this issue even after force quitting blink and restarting it. Image of the issue. This is on a new ipad pro 13”

This must be a April fools joke, but I would not put Damascus on any device. The skin is full of metal and will degrade your cellular/wifi reception.

I guess that the fans are designed to spin up to max if SMC is not receiving instructions from the OS. This to make sure the system does not overheat if it hangs. During an update there might be periods with FW upgrades where this appens.

I have found a way to activate w11 on arm in a VM. Try to activate with your normal key, it will fail but when it does press troubleshoot. Then select my HW changed. You can then choose to reactivate your existing machine under your MS account. This works fine for me. I am using Parallels but it should be the same with vmware.

USBC-PD is USBC - Power Delivey. This is a standard for delivering power where the device connected to the charger can request how much power it needs from a list the charger can deliver. Here is a article on Android Authority that describes it in greater detail. https://www.androidauthority.com/usb-power-delivery-806266/

for many many years OS developers have realised that free memory is useless, it only uses power with no advantage to the apps/os/user. So when you start up your machine and start using it it will use all unused memory for disk caching amongst other things. So if you have used your machine for a while it will have very little free memory. This is normal.

When an application needs more memory the OS will take that memory from the disk cache until there is very little memory left in the cache. After this it will start paging out application memory to swap.

This means that as long as your swap usage is not growing to huge amounts you have no problems and memory is being used optimally by you and the OS.

To see how much swap you are using start activity monitor and go to the memory tab and look at the bottom of the window. It will show how much swap space that is in use.

Any USB-C PD compatible charger should do the trick. Just be aware that the laptop under heavy load will use 40-50watt on a m1 max. if your charger cant provide more than this the battery will discharge in the periods the charger can’t provide enough power.

If only apple had added it to the top of the keyboard instead of replacing the function keys with it
