Nitpicky, yes, but I find it distracting that the new sub-forum "Apple Silicon (Arm) Macs" doesn't capitalize the term/acronym ARM, as it most commonly is written.
 
As of 2017, Arm stopped using all-uppercase.

Wikipedia as linked seem to not be sure either. In title is ARM architecture (which is infuriating as surely architecture should be in title case in a title?) but then in the first word of the article it's Arm. Note the company itself on their webpage use Arm so I believe this is now correct.

Interesting. Usually it's five letters before one defaults to capitalizing only the first letter of an acronym. Example: NASA vs. Nascar. But, we live in the age of the Internet and social media, and all the rules are out the window. On the other hand, if it's a trademark it can be whatever the holder wants. Either way, I promise I won't be offended. Lord knows there's way too much of that these days.
