Operation Breakout

Link here. I know nothing about Operation Breakout. This is first I've heard of this Apple initiative. It shows the value of "never quit reading."

TLMWR (too long, most won't read): hopefully this is not behind a paywall and folks can access it. It was written in 2022 and so much of it may have changed, but it provides an insight (or insights) into how "Apple" thinks. Link here. I don't know if it's an easy read. I know I am having to read it several times to catch the nuances. I will eventually download the entire article for personal use but will quote liberally from the article. But that is awhile from now.

 

What makes this all so important: Apple doesn't want to be the next Intel.
