More important and interesting is the date of availability of the new version
Tell your fellow German companies(teamviewer, vwag, etc) to stop threatening to sue me and perhaps I'll have more time for software development 🤣🤣🤣

How about in the fact that Apple's flagship laptop CPU (M5 Max), with limited power from a battery.... DESTROYS by more than 30% Intel's and AMD's latest desktop flagship chips with UNLIMITED power...

For me that's the deal breaker.
Yes, Apple was able to eclipse the windows world in performance due their closed architecture model. No need to support legacy - sad for a guy who has an i9 32g/1T 16” MacBook Pro that is starting to not run software but is still plenty fast for MS Office Apps which is 95% of what I use it for.

Not sure how that relates to Apple vs Microsoft. Microsoft doesn't make the x86 processors, Intel and AMD do. You can run Windows on ARM processors too, Microsoft even sells them. You can probably even run Windows on the M5 Max if you're really determined. As for most powerful machine that can be had running MacOS vs. Windows OS, I suspect there are some high end workstation/server machines running Windows which will outperform the highest performance Mac. But again, it's hardware, not the Operating System.

I am curious, I can imagine vwag being pissy, but why is teamviewer suing you? What other German company decided you're eating into their profits?

The M5 Max may be an excellent chip, but that does not make it comparable to Intel, AMD, ARM in the same way.

Intel, AMD, ARM sell processors to many OEMs. Their chips can be used by Dell, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Framework, custom PC builders, workstation vendors, and server manufacturers.

Apple Silicon cannot.

So the issue is not whether Apple’s chip is technically impressive. It clearly is. The issue is that it only exists inside Apple’s closed ecosystem. Other companies cannot buy it, build around it, improve competing products with it, or offer alternatives using it.

Apple benefited from the open CPU market for years. Now that they have a strong advantage, that advantage is locked away and used to reinforce their ecosystem.

That is the Apple way, and I do not like it: take from open ecosystems when convenient, then close everything down when it becomes an advantage. Meanwhile, Microsoft, for all its flaws, has become one of the largest contributors to open-source software and open-source infrastructure.

Are you being prosecuted for changing their car's battery modules or for the tCAN-pro software, given that Teamviewer is also involved ?

Just wanted to thank you for this software and the wealth of information on this forum.

I tested my 2021 Turbo S with 50k miles and am so pleased with the results. Hopefully your positive experience so far with the 2021 batteries remains the trend!

Out of curiosity, what does tCAN-pro have to do with Teamviewer?

I was just wondering about that, because Cristian mentioned it.

Amazing piece of software, so easy to set up and use, very impressed. Thank you, Cristian.

With all my batteries within 0.01 volt feeling positive but as car had a very easy life only doing 14k in five years (2020 4S.) Since buying 2 months ago I am doing around 1k per month so will have to keep an eye on the batteries as I wonder if things will go bad as the mileage increases and Only have 2 1/2 years until the 8 year deadline:(
