Say Goodbye to Both the iPod and Pixel Headphone Jack
For more than 20 years, the typical image of personal music included an Apple iPod and wired headphones. But that picture has slowly been changing.

Flutter development framework now stable across platforms • The Register
Google's Flutter development framework finally achieved its cross-platform aspirations with a stable release of Linux and macOS support.
Flutter 3.0, announced at Google's I/O developer conference, provides developers with a way to write apps for the six major consumer-facing platform targets using the Dart programming language. And that's not to mention embedded devices.
"With Flutter 2.0, we shipped web support, and just recently we shipped support for Windows," said Tim Sneath, director of product and user experience for Flutter and Dart, in an interview with The Register.
"And now with Flutter 3.0, we finally reached the point where we have completed that journey. We have all of the six major platforms – iOS, Android, web, Windows, macOS, Linux – all supported as stable parts of the Flutter framework."
For macOS, that means Intel and Apple Silicon support, via Universal Binary builds, as well as Apple Silicon support in development. Thanks to Dart's support for Apple Silicon, compilation is faster.
