Composer 2 is great tbh. It makes my over runs of the ultra plan much less painful.

Another swing and a miss from the AI police.

All these commenters just yell AI about every post and comment on here now. They have a worse hit rate than a blind marksman.

> Here’s hoping governments regulate laptop manufacturers to actually make repairable machines in the future.

So there is already a solution on the market but for some reason the immediate desire is for the government to get involved and start regulating laptop keyboards?

It’s interesting to see twists on the old anti-piracy arguments recycled for anti-ai.

Turns out many (most?) people on the internet were never anti-copyright in the first place. They were just anti-copyright (or at least, refused to challenge the anti-copyright people) because they wanted free movies and/or hated corporations.

Many of these people live int he countries where downloading for own use is lawful, since they're paying copyright levy exactly to cover for that.

They don't have to hate the copyright.

That's not a thread you want to pull on, it applied to the majority of the comments on the internet.

I think for a lot of us mac users we never get contact with another OS so it can seem like the world is ending. Reality is the Tahoe is terrible compared to older versions, but still incredible compared to others. IMHO as ever.

As a lifelong windows (upto 10) and linux user, no I did not find MacOS (using as the primary os since 7 months) incredible in any sense of word in comparison. Only thing I like is the mac hardware

Windows 7 was the last great Windows (it took the best of NT4 and 2000 and put it in a consumer package), and like you, I've used them all (Bob doesn't count). I lived with 10 for a long time, and Microsoft was trying to shoe-horn a lot of the nonsense you see in 11 into it. Ads on the Start Menu, and the dock.

But they've gone full-tilt Bozo with 11. The ability to deliver such an experience to their advertisers and marketing resellers was the whole reason for its existence. That is, 11 is about what Microsoft can get from its users, not about letting them use their own computer. It is no longer a suitable personal computing OS.

Warts and usability issues are present in Tahoe, and I wish Apple hadn't made the choices they've made on the UX, but Tahoe remains closer to being something for the user than Windows is.

Linux is generally for the sake of operating a computer (I didn't forget the user, but Linux--sweeps hand--makes the assumption that it's users are developers). That's what's so surprising about the age verification push in some Linux distributions (and their attendant bans for disagreement in the mailing lists or on GitHub).

I thought having a MacBook Pro after a few decades of Windows/Linux use would be utopic, but Apple hides a ton of keyboard/mouse shortcuts, so the majority of software is slow to learn and use. Simple stuff like split screen, file handling (particularly compressed files, mounts, and network), or USB device permissions leave a lot to be desired.

It gets worse when you need to add Parallels because a particular lab machine only has Windows support. Being Vim-dependent, I got unlucky receiving the butterfly keyboard model with no physical escape key.

excellent hardware specs, superb battery life, very opinionated aesthetic (I hate it.), not nearly as intuitive as one would assume

Yeah this is my actual issue with Tahoe. It blows my mind people keep bringing up the corners when WindowServer is complete trash now.

I think this law is the wrong way about doing what they're trying to do, but I also don't want US corps deciding what is and isn't permissible in our country.

They can do whatever they want on their devices that is permissible in whatever jurisdiction they're selling into, but they don't get to choose to follow our laws. If we want those changed we'll do it at the ballot box.

Since there is no law requiring what they are doing, what now?

I feel like comprehension is lacking here.

1. The original comment was about Apple using their power to influence UK law.

2. That is bad, don't do that Apple.

3. If they want to do other things not legislated against they are free to do so.

Indeed. For many of us it's a feature, not a bug.
