Apple Silicon Macs fail at less than half the rate of Intel Macs, dramatically reducing the platform’s already industry-leading total cost of ownership (TCO), according to data revealed by London, UK-based Apple reseller Hoxton Macs. While it’s true the data is based on a relatively small sample group, it does seem to reflect what the industry in general sees. Apple’s chip design transforms Mac reliability The success of Apple Silicon hardware is attributed to its simpler design, which integrates multiple components into a single chip, reducing the number of potential failure points. Additionally, Apple Silicon Macs run cooler, leading to less wear and tear on components such as batteries and USB-C ports, the report says. Across the wider laptop market, most studies show hardware faults affect one in five non-Apple machines over their first three years in use. This builds on Apple’s enduring record for making good hardware as independent reliability surveys consistently rank the compan

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s speech on Monday insisting that tech companies create device controls to somehow block children from viewing or creating sexually explicit imagery has raised alarms among CISOs, who worry that the same technology could undermine enterprise security. Starmer gave tech firms three months to create and implement such restrictions voluntarily, at which point he said he would push for legislation to make it mandatory. Behind the technical and logistical hurdles for tech firms to clear, such as how a device would determine that an image was inappropriate, and how it could reliably determine the subject’s age, is the issue of whether this process would interfere with encryption protections for enterprises worldwide. And that comes down to whether the required data analysis happens on the device or in the cloud. Starmer did not go into a lot of detail, preferring to let technology companies craft their own plans, but in this case the details matter. Analysts a
