We've had this conversation before. And there are a lot of us who think that most folks could do their jobs on a Chromebook. Now NVIDIA is teaming up with MediaTek to make them even more appealing by adding things like... ray tracing?

Do folks like me need RTX graphics to do their jobs? Probably not. But as Intel and AMD also continue making strides with ARM-based chips, would you be more inclined to provision Chromebooks to your org if they had bonafide graphics cards?

Personally, I'm not super eager to use a Chromebook as a primary computer—but I could be convinced. Let's chat about it (again) in this SaaSOps Community thread.
 

What would an ARM-based laptop look like with an RTX graphics card? That's something NVIDIA is exploring together with MediaTek, a company best known for building ARM-based chips. Together, they're building a reference laptop platform that'll support Chromium, Linux and NVIDIA SDKs (software development kits).
Lester Chan is the Head of Enterprise Security at Zoom, which has arguably been the most ubiquitous SaaS application on the market this year.

Parallels has announced that version 16.5 of its virtualization software, Parallels Desktop for Mac, is now generally available, bringing with it native support for Apple's new M1 chipset.

A new set of nine such vulnerabilities are exposing an estimated 100 million devices worldwide, including an array of internet-of-things products and IT management servers.

Add this to the list of things I didn't know existed. If you find yourself frequently searching for a certain folder in Finder on your Mac, you can create a quick “bookmark” to that folder instead. Here are three ways to do it.
Although cloud-based solutions and budget apps are trying to steal Excel’s thunder, it still remains the king of accounting, charting and data organization. With 750 million people worldwide and 89 percent of businesses taking daily advantage of MS Excel, many forget to utilize its formidable security feature: Adding passwords and making it read-only.
There are times when your Windows PC seems to have a mind of its own—launching programs, windows, browser tabs, or whatever else without your direct input. There’s always a reason for this activity. Your system hasn’t become sentient. However, tracking down what’s causing this chaos is always a fun exercise. And that’s exactly what we’ll be dealing with.
 

Consider the inclusion of this conversation as a vote from yours truly for something like this (if your org doesn't already have one). For us laypeople, a menu of services sounds pretty great. It also seems as if the folks in the community agree. Check out the conversation by clicking the link above!
