Signal finally added Arm64 support to its Windows app

Ever since the advent of the smartphone, Arm processors have powered practically every mainstream mobile device. Known for its high-efficiency computing and processing, Arm devices have historically been all about battery life and low power loads, while x86 chips have been focused on maximum power in desktops and laptops, efficiency be damned. In recent years, however, the power gap between Arm and x86 chips has come down significantly, and many companies are now turning to Arm chips for mainline laptops. Apple turned to Arm with its M-Series MacBooks, and Microsoft turned to Arm for its Surface line of laptops. For those with a Windows PC on Arm, using Signal Messenger meant using an x86 emulation version of the app. That is no longer the case.
