Explainer: Memory

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://eclecticlight.co/2026/06/20/explainer-memory/

Just tried to install Steinberg’s macOS version of their software manager after watching some YouTuber recommend their free tier synths and sampler instruments. Their latest version doesn’t run on my 2022(!) Mac mini M2 Pro. It hangs at launch.

Apple popup during install says: “Support Ending for Intel-Based Apps This version of "Steinberg Download Assistant" includes a component that will not work with a future release of macOS. Learn how to update to an Apple silicon version.”

They still don’t have a clean Apple Silicon version of their completely essential installer in 2026. Went to find a support contact and just found hoops to jump through. NOPE.

JFC, Steinberg. Get in a ditch.

It's taking longer to hack these phones this way.

On the bright side, jailbreaking is back, baby!

Apple's A12 and A13 Chips Facing New Unpatchable Exploit

Someone called the MacBook Neo a bad computer. Whether that's true depends on what you need it for.

Against a 1700 dollar Pro, an iPhone chip and 8GB lose. But that's not who it's for. For everyday use it's plenty. I ran Xcode and even fine-tuned an LLM on a 599 dollar machine.

A good computer isn't the most powerful, it's the one that does what you need. Chapter one of my book is free: https://open.substack.com/pub/taylorarndt/p/i-wrote-a-book-about-the-macbook?r=39ff34

Do you still need an iPad if you buy a MacBook Neo? I get asked this a lot.

The iPad wins if you want touch-first in your hands. But the Neo is a full Mac, real apps, and speakers that surprised me. And some iPads cost more than a Neo once you add the 300 dollar Magic Keyboard.

For most people right now, the Neo is the better buy. I go deep on this in my new book, chapter one is free: https://open.substack.com/pub/taylorarndt/p/i-wrote-a-book-about-the-macbook?r=39ff34
