This still works for Apple Silicon based Macs: [Wayback/Archive] How can I tell what wattage my MacBook Pr… – Apple Community
TL;DR:
Note that “System Report…” starts the “System Information.app” (how cool would naming consistency be…)
On my M1 MacBook Pro, the values depend on the charging ports used:

On my research list: running Anrdoid apps on Apple Silicon.
I wonder if using the Anrdoid Emulator from Android Studio the only straightforward option.

Now that I have had an Apple silicon for a while, which has enough cores to perform parallel work, this is how I calculated a bunch of hashed from a lot of large files:
find . -type f | xargs -P 0 -n 1 md5 -rfind . -type f | xargs -P 0 -n 1 shasum --algorithm 1find . -type f | xargs -P 0 -n 1 shasum --algorithm 256I contemplated about using GNU parallel, but that is not installed by default on MacOS and I was already familiar with xargs.
Argument meanings can be found at these locations:

[Wayback/Archive] How to use two or more monitors to M1, M2 or M3 MacBooks | Macworld will likely hold for M4 based ones as well:
- higher-end MacBooks with M1/M2/M3 Pro and Max chips support multiple external displays
- get around Apple’s annoying M1/M2/M3 Mac single-display limitation via software and adapters
The solutions we explain here will also help M2 Pro and M3 Pro MacBook users extend to three external displays.
Recommended reading, despite the extra hardware and software you will likely need.

I needed this for some Windows ARM VMs on VMware Fusion for running on my M1 MacBook Pro: [Wayback/Archive] oobe\bypassnro removed from Windows 11 24H2 dead/hidden ? – YouTube
In the end this combination works:
oobe\bypassnro (or add the registry entry, see below)After this, Windows detected no network, and offered an install with a local username/password indicating the choice “I don’t have internet”.
If that ever fails in the future, I can use this trick from the comments:

Having used the fully loaded Intel 15″ Retina MacBook Pro machines (the ones without dreaded touch-bars or butterfly keyboards – note the IBM ThinkPad 701 butterfly keyboard – also known as TrackWrite – was perfectly fine) from 2015 for 9 years, it was finally time to upgrade to an Apple Silicon one, but again: not the touch bar models.
My work is mainly CPU and disk intensive and often based on remote logon to more powerful equipment, so GPU cores and performance only marginally matter for web-browsing and local electron based applications (hello vscode!).
Going from 4 hyperthreaded CPU cores (8 parallel threads) to at least 8 full CPU cores, I didn’t want to pay full price like back in the days, and wanted it to be less than my car (EUR ~4000), so these links helped me find refurbished ones in The Netherlands:

SwiftOnSecurity posted this interesting tweet in 2021: [Archive] SwiftOnSecurity on Twitter: “Lenovo P1 Gen3 with 12core Xeon, 64GB RAM, two 1TB M.2 SSDs. Running Windows Server 2022 with the Hyper-V role. All hardening applied to host OS, almost nothing happens here except managing guest VMs. On the second SSD I then have Win10 VMs joined to the corporate domain.” / Twitter.
I wonder if a similar setup can be done using an Apple M1 based machine as host and running all work in virtual machines.
Swift had some issues getting cameras and microphones to work: [Archive] SwiftOnSecurity on Twitter: “The problem here is Teams. If I want to pass through my webcam and microphone that could get a bit dicey, despite HyperV Enhanced Session being essentially an RDP session. For now I’m using my phone for Teams microphone. Also I’m not sure how well thermal management will work….” / Twitter
This resulted in some answers and interesting links:
