Started watching a YouTube channel I hadn’t previously seen about the M1 MacBook Pro. I soon turned disconnected from that rubbish. He seemed to know his subject until being surprised when it turned on when he opened the lid.
A good thing I have short hair these days, else I be tearing chunks out in sheer frustration.

Carbon Copy Cloner (beta) can now make bootable backups of a Big Sur startup disk (on Intel-based Macs; see below about the new M1 Macs). In macOS 11.0.1, Apple addressed some of the problems with its APFS replication utility that rendered clones of the System volume non-bootable. If you have an existing backup task that's configured for a Data Volume backup, simply click on the Source selector and choose "Choose a different source," then select your Big Sur startup disk as the source to the task.

Bootable clones on M1 Macs are disabled for now because Apple's APFS replication utility does not currently support the special format of the startup disk's Data volume. CCC will automatically proceed with a Data Volume backup when backing up an APFS Volume Group on Big Sur. When Apple fixes this, we'll post an update to CCC that restores support for making bootable backups on these new Macs.

I like my coffee like I like my women: strong & highly valued in the workplace.

One real cool dude…

Does Apple really log every app you run? A technical look:

You need one of these: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B077P2FB6S/ref=ppxyodtbasintitleo00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Mine was delivered today. You can even invert the cup & nothing leaks out, the lower portion is stainless steel vacuum flask technology.

Future Big Sur & beyond updates will happen more in the background. Instead of restarting & installing, much of the installation will be done while the Mac is still running the previous OS before requiring a restart.

One aspect of that article is pointless: "Those shiny new Apple Silicon macs that Apple just announced, three times faster and 50% more battery life? They won’t run any OS before Big Sur.”

Nothing new there. My MacBook Pro shipped with Sierra on it. It can’t run any earlier OS version. This is not news.
