I’m sad because the WiFi on my M1 MBA is dying/dead and there’s no way to replace it without swapping the whole “logic board.” Apple also doesn’t support any USB WiFi adapters in recent versions of MacOS, so it’s now tethered to a wired network connection. I’m just waiting for the M5 refresh to hit at this point. Anyway, all that’s to say that at least some M1 hardware is going to to the trash heap soon :(

USB is a standard protocol, so Asahi should support USB WiFi adapters just fine. Is Bluetooth also impacted?
How many USB ports does a MBA M1 have?

Now you have to walk around with a USB hub, for a subpar battery life.

I mean the person they're replying to is saying their current choice is they're stuck to a wired connection...
