Unfortunately this website doesn't talk much about the shortcomings of DEC64. Just to start, numbers in DEC64 have multiple representations, meaning even a simple equality check can take tens of cycles. Don't get me wrong, it&#x27

You could also just set your dock to autohide. That's what I do on my MBA 2015 and it's great, especially considering how small 1440x900 already is.

It's pretty much all the paid media on the internet . Spotify, Hulu, netflix, cable providers, amazon, etc. I guess if you literally only watch free YouTube videos it's not a problem? Totally not an anti-trust issue...
