TechCrunch says Congress should secure the app store supply chain and I agree

Jorge Grueul has a great article To protect consumers, Congress should secure the app store supply chain.

I so agree. The bills currently proposed do nothing to protect consumers from malware, congress people have so little tech knowledge. If we have unfettered access to an iphone with apps installing off a link, all cell phones will be compromised in a single day. If they just get rid of the walled garden and allow easy unfettered install, every iPhone will be compromised so quickly it is a joke.

And of course the App stores need more regulation, as how could Apple let through so many bogus apps?

We need security standards on new app stores that apply to all app stores.

RedShark has a sponsored look at the new ColourLab 2.0 Public Beta

Simon Wyndham at Redshark has a sponsored look at the the new ColourLab 2.0 Public Beta.

I have to admit the AI powers of ColourLab 2.0 look very impressive, and I love that they have added Adobe Premiere and Apple Final Cut Pro integration instead of just DaVinci Integration.

Colourlab is a subscription for creator which is $129 a year for Premiere and Final Cut, $299 a year for Pro which includes DaVinci or $599 for a permanent license, which is by far the best deal.

Max Tech on the M2 Extreme chip for the Mac Pro

This one goes into the weeds, but I think hits the nail on the head for the processor for the Mac Pro. It has to be a dual ultra, but that means likely a M2 dual Ultra, the M2 Extreme.

I am still not sure on the expandable ram, as it would be so much slower than the RAM in the chip, but pci expansion does make sense for so many things. And all the extra thunderbolt they could add.

Not part of this video, but what if this is right and it is a smaller MacPro and the processor is on a daughter card that could be upgraded, leaving the pci slots and extra ram if that is workable. That could be an ”upgradeable” Mac Pro for sure.

Well the Mac Studio has gotten me excited for the Mac Pro, though if it really is an M2, I think WWDC might ge pushing it, and the 2023 rumors may be true.
