Of you look at all of the work behind Asahi, it’s incredible. I’m so grateful for heroes like Alyssa who are saving millions of computers from landfills when Apple no longer supports them
At age 20, she reverse-engineered the Apple GPU. At age 40, I got the LED to blink on my Arduino.
I mean I have decades of doing all sorts of IT work and this is way beyond my level. Absolutely amazing.
I have such immense respect for people who know how the bits are physically flowing through a machine. I took classes about it but I can’t imagine doing that daily, it’s so tedious.
yeah I remember not being able to get my voltron lion to run in basic when I was in junior high.
Alyssa Rosenzweig. Not Resenzweig. It means Twig of Roses. Here’s her website: https://alyssarosenzweig.ca/

Also, wow, impressive.Makes we want to buy a second-hand Apple device just to try it out.
I ran it on my M1 mini for several months a year or so back. At that stage it was probably 90% of what I needed it to be, which was bloody impressive. After I no longer needed it for work, I tried using it as my Home Assistant server, but with only 8gb RAM, ultimately it ended up being far more efficient to run HA in a virtual machine in macOS.
But yeah, if you can pick up an M1 for a good price, give it a go. It’s good fun.
m2 is also well-supported
True. I played about with it on my M2 Air for a bit. But I need my Air to be rock solid because it’s how I do my radio show.
She’s amazing. Also fascinating life story, came out as transgender at 10, was raised Jewish but she is now a Quaker
Why is she a Quacker?
Dunno, ask her
