Got an idea for next month's banner?
On the lemmy.nz matrix chat a while back people were talking about the new Macs with the new Apple chips. Apparently they are really nice, amazingly fast, but you can't run Windows on them anymore.
One thing I like about Android vs iPhone is how customisable it is. My wife hates using my phone because she can never work out how to find the app she wants, because it's so much different to her android phone. But it is just a different home screen I've installed, which isn't an option on iPhones.
I also install many apps from an alternate app store that has only free open source apps. I hope to one day move away from the Google app store completely.
I haven't double checked; but I think it was just that you couldn't dual-boot x86 Windows; which makes sense given the chip change. I guess the same underlying chip difference means you can't virtualise it either. But I'd imagine you can virtualise & run ARM Windows though; and as Intel/AMD fall further & further behind the efficiency curve Windows on ARM should continue to get better over time.
