I had an "Unknown" app using my microphone on the Apple Watch from time to time. Turns out it was the handwashing detection. Nowadays it's labelled correctly.
This can also be an app that you (very) recently deleted, but as the dot is still showing it's indicating that the microphone is in use right at this moment. I would assume it's a system service that isn't properly labelled (maybe something to do with iOS 18 being so new and it was an oversight), but I don't know which system service would need to use the microphone.
Whether free will exists or not would add a whole new layer to this discussion that you could easily add to almost any discussion as a wildcard. If we assume that using Windows vs Linux is predetermined as opposed to being a choice, this whole comment tree doesn't make any sense. So let's not go there.
In my opinion, if quitting playing a couple of games really is life changing to you, you have deeper problems. If your so-called friends can't understand why you quit a game over something that's more important (to you), then find different people who do. That's almost as stupid as American kids excluding other kids for not using iMessage/iPhone. Doesn't mean your friends have to stop playing these games, but you can share other moments with them. Other games, conversations, other activities altogether.
x86/x64 code is pretty much 100% compatible between AMD and Intel. On the GPU side it's not that simple but Sony would've "just" had to port over their GNM(X) graphics APIs to Intel (Arc, presumably). Just like most PC games work completely fine and in the same way between Nvidia, AMD and Intel GPUs. But they have to do that anyway to some extent even with newer GPU architectures from AMD, because PS4's GCN isn't 1:1 compatible to PS5's RDNA2 on an architectural level, and the PS4's Jaguar CPU isn't even close to PS5's Zen 2.
Other than that, you're right. Sony wouldn't switch to Intel unless they got a way better chip and/or way better deal, and I don't think Intel was ready with a competitive GPU architecture back when the PS5's specifications were set in stone.
Downvote all you want, but that's how it is. People prioritize certain things over others - and that's completely fine - but don't pretend like they don't have a choice. On the contrary, more people switching to a Linux distribution despite incompatible games would lead to these games more likely adopting Linux compatibility.
The GAZEpolit researchers reported their findings to Apple in April and subsequently sent the company their proof-of-concept code so the attack could be replicated. Apple fixed the flaw in a Vision Pro software update at the end of July, which stops the sharing of a Persona if someone is using the virtual keyboard.
An Apple spokesperson confirmed the company fixed the vulnerability, saying it was addressed in VisionOS 1.3.

Is this persistent across reboots?
