Implication: if you want a Macbook Neo this year, maybe wait until September—unless you expect the coming supply chain shock to hit Apple, too. Which is not impossible if TSMC can't meet their chip delivery dates. If that happens, prices will shoot up and scarcity economics will take over, so buy now and be prepared to run it for the next decade. /2

@jgg @cstross It's probably possible to use a different tool if the absolute need arises, but converting a primary process like that tends to not be cheap, if only in mental energy. (Though probably in reduced output too which readily translates to actual money.) As for systemd, I don't mind the core system, the unit files work pretty well from the user end. It's all the extra shit like resolved I can do without, and it's run by a plonker with what seems like an "it works on my laptop" approach

@cstross oh yeah.... that would be why you can't run anything prior to Tahoe on that, wouldn't it... they simply never made a desk [lap] top OS for that chip prior did they

@cstross I was thinking if the Mobo stay the same shape and config might be able to upgrade Neo with newer boards since they are modular. ie put A19 or A20 in first gen one down the road.
