Apple is the one holding back the user experience on their operating systems, not third party developers.

Funny how we are moving back to bicycles, as cars aren’t scalable solution.

I have been enjoying Tech Won’t Save Us. It mainly focuses on the politics and unethical behavior of Big Tech/Silicon Valley. It has been an eye opener.

Why are Messages and FaceTime dependent on WiFi drivers? This seems insane.

I have problems where when my Apple Silicon MacBook Pro will have been “asleep” for days in a backpack and then I try and use my Bluetooth headphones on another device, it will connect to the asleep Macbook.

I solved it by running a small program that kills Bluetooth when the laptop goes to sleep.

Doesn’t this waste more power being connected rather than actually sleeping? With a laptop lid closed, there’s no screen to show notifications on. What’s the point of this?

From what I understand you have to re-purchase if you already own it on Battle.net, which is pretty frustrating. As playing on the Steam Deck would be much easier in Steam.

I hope it stays above macOS long term! Apple shot themselves in the foot many times with gaming on their platform.
