Please drink a verification laxative?

Immich is generally regarded as the self hosted replacement for Google photos, personally I have been happy with nextcloud, it’s more basic for photos but still does the job for me.

My understanding is Apple did this by having the more “expensive” to emulate commands be actual hardware, so some commands are emulated/translated, but others are just implemented in hardware on the processor. They could do this because they control the hardware and OS. Microsoft or anyone else trying to get that done is much more of a challenge.
