I tend to think this is the "best way" to highlight these things, I think a future Mac could very well be shipping with an M2 or M1X (or so my sources say)

Good point! I chose M1 because that's how Apple showcases it and I don't see any references to Apple Silicon, but I agree it's probably more accurate and future-proof 😄 Thanks!!

Question, if m1 user already has PS (intel) installed trough brew, will this (PS m1 support) uninstall and install m1 version when they update? If not, then I think that's a good ide to have. |

This is what's used to tell our scripts about the target architecture.

This is needed because __UPDATES_URL__ is set at compile time, so we can't set it to look for arm64 for users who downloaded the x64 build to then run it on an Apple Silicon machine.
