With recent updates to Java 8, my Mac ARM machines keep warning me that support is ending for Intel-based apps. Is this cause for concern?
There is an Apple Silicon version of Java 8 available. Assuming that you really do need Java, you can download and install the Apple Silicon version from Oracle. Unless you are doing Java development that relies on Intel components, you probably can remove the Intel version.
If you’re not certain why you need Java 8, you can try running without it, or try running a more current version.

Thanks! I appreciate the link. I installed the version that says it’s for ARM machines, but I’ll have to wait for the next update to determine whether it overwrites or sticks.
