This tiny macOS menu bar app detects CPU throttling due to thermal constraints
Most gadget lovers know that thermal throttling is a fact of life. Even the new M1 chip from Apple throttles CPU performance. For instance, the new M1 MacBook Air is capable of running for up to 18 hours on a single charge, but that doesn't mean peak power all the time.
Some M1 Macs are exhibiting Bluetooth issues

How to force universal Mac apps to run under Rosetta emulation instead of natively
Apple provides the enhanced Universal 2 binary feature to its developers who wish to ship macOS apps that pack in code for both Intel and Apple Silicon systems. In other words, a universal binary runs natively on both Apple M1 and Intel-based Mac computers because it contains executable code for both architectures. However, certain edge cases may justify running a native Apple Silicon app under Rosetta emulation, and we show you how it's done.
