You're all over this thread trying to gaslight people into believing a constant dot is somehow the same a rare chance at an OS notification that you forgot to disable. People plug there mac directly into shit and that worked fine; now it doesn't end of story.

Woah! Someone learned a new word and then used it incorrectly! It's not about OS notifications that you forgot to disable. It's anything that the OS wants to display. Notifications and alerts were just an easy example because everyone knows what they are. People can still plug their shit in and it'll "work fine". If they're recording audio, they'll see a little dot. If they want control of what shows up on the display, there are answer for that. Pretending like that hasn't always been the case is misguided.

> now it doesn't For an incredibly small set of people who are both professional enough for this to be an issue but also not professional enough to spend a hundred bucks on a device specifically meant for this purpose. If you're going to claim gaslighting, then maybe actually include the intricacy that you seem to have missed there. It continues to work fine for the vast majority of people.

  No. You're describing a different setup when you suggest that hardware. Read the post again, "plugging the mac directly into shit" is broken now (for people that are using their microphone).

    > for people that are using their microphone and are outputting video that they want undisturbed Let's call a spade a spade. You're blowing it way out of proportion while in reality it's an issue that impacts an incredibly small fraction of the userbase.

      I never said it affected a large fraction of mac users. I'm not blowing anything out of proportion. Your post above was also only talking about those people with mic input and video output, so it shouldn't be a problem that I did the same. Also it's not just video, it's basically anyone "plugging their mac into shit" for professional output purposes. Could be video, could be a powerpoint, could be a software demo.
