Look like chips to me, though the resolution is too poor for me to really tell. I used to really dig high quality pictures of CPU chips. They look like cities, as seen from above.

2021 Apple iMac (24-inch, Apple M1 chip with 8‑core CPU and 8‑core GPU, 8GB RAM, 512GB) - Blue At Amazon $1700 -- https://tinyurl.com/rvmmzrbb This one gets some negative reviews that are worth reading. That make interesting reading, such as incompatibly with favorite Apple programs. Dead machines too (lol)
Dell FHD 15.6" --- $323 yesterday ---today $342 https://tinyurl.com/3tv2xww5 with 11th Gen i3 and 8gb ram
What deals do you see? A few days ago for $179 at ebay I bought a used 32" LG 4k monitor --VA panel not IPS. 60 day seller warranty plus he pays return shipping if defective
I’m doing better… it’s been a little over two weeks since Lady Swordmaker died and I’m starting to come to terms the fact that my gorgeous Kathy is no longer with me. I will survive.

“.....Apple provides you with an end-to-end encryption key that ensures that messages sent to and from your devices cannot be read by anyone but you and your counterparties. But it then stores a copy of that key in your iCloud Backup, and that iCloud Backup is not end-to-end encrypted, meaning Apple can access the backup, retrieve the key and then access all those “Messages in iCloud.”
Ahhhhh.... Sorry about that and my condolences. Prayers too for Lady Swordmaker and you.
Intel w Microsoft can compete with the M1. More later, gotta go.
The new requirements went in a month ago even for people on the older OS, retroactively.
Fortunately this is incorrect.
Post 42 shows we’ve had it for some time and that regardless of the enhanced version, iCloud’s backdoors are also there, today.
I bought a new Mini M1 early this year and absolutely love it, it super fast and the only way you can make out heat up is to set it on fire.
Its warm to the touch but that is all there heat you feel from it.
I completely agree with this. In fact I don’t buy anything from Amazon for several reasons, but the last thing I would ever even consider would be a high dollar, high tech piece of Apple equipment.
I can however attest to the amazing performance of the new M1 processor. My first toe in the water has been a Mac mini which I got for under $1,000 and it has been more impressive from a user standpoint than anything I’ve ever had before, including several $2,000+ Macs I’ve had over the years. Haven’t decided what I’ll buy next, but it may just be another one of these.

I will disagree re" backdoor". Apple has specifically stated that they are not (yet) doing CSAM scanning for photos uploaded via iCloud Photos. They may be scanning other content uploaded to iCloud. They make that clear in their T&C.
The article at macobsever.com has as an update:
"Bottom line: Despite the scanning done locally it still only scans photos uploaded to iCloud Photos. Non-iCloud photos will not be affected, nor (I suspect) will photos stored in other places like the Files app."
Again as noted above, Apple is not (yet) doing CSAM scanning.
Concerning the Forbes article, the update for iOS 12.5.x was to patch a vulnerability that allowed NSP Group's Pegasus software to exploit an iOS device - not to introduce a vulnerability.
For myself, I don't store photos using iCloud Photos, do iOS backups locally and don't store much in iCloud. Everyone has their own tolerance for risk using the Cloud. Will continue to purchase Apple products for now.
If there's a price cut on one of the M1 laptops, otherwise, I'll wait some more for the next Mac Mini spec bump.

Those are the chips, sir.
LOL. If I’d previewed my own post, I could have seen the =much= bigger image.
Why can’t they do something like Rosetta? Works fine for Apple.
I've prayed for you daily, knowing the grief you feel and also knowing that it will ease with time. May God grant you His Grace, and strength, and peace of mind.
We all shuffle off our mortal coils sooner or later, and God willing, you and Lady Kathy will be reunited again. I'm pretty sure all the Apple hardware stays behind, though. :-)
I'm going to be sticking with Apple's Intel hardware for a while yet; too many x86_64 VMs that are part of my daily work. But I do look forward eventually to getting an M-series machine.
Take care of yourself in this difficult time. My thoughts are with you.
I have to admit I was worried about your poor eyesight..
These are the System on Integrated Chips (SoIC) at 5 nano grams. Left is last year’s M1, middle is this year’s M1 Pro, right is the M1 Max.
Rosetta in Apple’s environment works due to having a limited number of hardware options to face when converting on processor’s code to run on an alien processor. Know what hardware must be software emulated in advance makes conversion in the Apple ecosystem a walk in a manicured garden A Rosetta like environment in the Windows hardware mishmash is like going into a global environment where you must prepare to encounter hardware environments in users’ computer setups from the Sahara desert, to the Mindanao Trench, to the Amazonian Rain Forest, to the Summit of K2, to the vacuum of a lunar landscape, and translate everything Windows throws at it without a bobble providing a good user experience on all those mis-mashed built computers. . . without pissing off the users!
Tall order.
That being said, I’ve seen Windows running on ARM processors… but someone’s got to write the Dynamic Link Libraries that all those Windows apps require… not to mention all those apps that insist on hitting machine language which just ain’t the same between Intel and ARM.
Absolutely love my Mac mini M1 with 2TB on board SSD + 16gb ram.
I do pro audio on my Mac & running 150 track projects with a ton of plugins & the CPU usage hasn’t gone above 50% yet. Not heard the fan come on yet!!!
I expect to use this machine for the next 10 to 15 years minimum.
