Upgrade to 12.1 seems to have triggered hard crashes when using Zoom and FaceTime video conferencing.

Question regarding clarification of shared RAM on M1 Machines.
Recently I read that ram is shared between the CPU and GPU on M1 processors. Does this mean that some of my ram will be allocated to driving an external display? Wouldn’t the GPU have its own dedicated vram so that it wouldn’t cut into ram allotted to the cpu? 32GB of ram is what I currently...- davedirect

How has your 27" 2020 iMac worked for you?
Has your 2020 27" iMac worked well for you or has it given you trouble? Usually I'm pretty confident with apple hardware but I've had pretty bad graphics issues right out of the gate, since day one, (and before any 3rd party software or RAM was installed.)
