Aside from all the hardware that doesn't work.

That "which makes it worth sacrificing the ability to run your machine the way you want" is utterly superfluous. The way I want to run my machine is by running macOS and using its features, app ecosystem, and so on. Not once have

I have a life and plan to live it, not spend all day configuring my computer to do basic things that macOS does perfectly. "I've never personally understood" seems to be a lack of imagination.

You did see that they mentioned the Studio Display as well, yes?

Anybody sufficiently interested would press further, not back away.

If one actually tried to explain to a five year old, they can use things like analogy, simile, metaphor, and other forms of rhetoric. This was just a straight-up technical explanation.

Not everything has to be. Sometimes, an artist's style or a particular track just hits a particular vibe one may be after or need in a particular moment. I'm not a fan of this music either but I could imagine hearing it while I&#x

There isn't any such service; it's on demand.

The first message in the thread isn't the definition of the actual feature.

Faster and better, but in all its time, it's never gotten better than Alfred which, ironically, depends on the Spotlight index.

> I put files in sensible places Good for you. Do you want a medal? Finding files often means more than just looking in folders for adequately named files. Sometimes, it's looking for the contents of files, for things that aren&#x27

Does grep work on anything other than plain text? And then you'll have to wait for grep to trawl every folder to find the right file rather than consult an optimised index.

And then you didn't. What's the purpose of saying this? All consumer-operating systems also used to be single user with administrative access by default. Shall we return to that, too?

And nothing screams "has never had the pleasure" like a Windows or Linux user who says "who cares if there's no menu bar?" ;-)

by zapzupnz 9mo ago
Those who undervalue this don’t realise that the Mac menu bar is also the standard mechanism for defining keyboard shortcuts; as long as it has an entry in the menu bar, it can have keyboard shortcuts assigned and even reassigned from Syste

These are not reasons. These are placatings.

by zapzupnz 9mo ago
Oh, interesting! Which features?
79.
by zapzupnz 9mo ago
It's a mountain of little things that add up rather than a few killer features. It's the way drag and drop is a fundamental interaction in text boxes, the proxy icons in title bars, how dragging a file to an open/save panel c

Maybe they didn't want people seeing their awful new icons at large enough sizes that the seams would be showing...

Going back to Lion would almost feel like bliss compared to Tahoe. Hell, bliss compared to Big Sur.

That's where the WebKit previews come in handy, if you stick to a preview version you know matches a stable version.

by zapzupnz 9mo ago
In the Hacker News bubble, maybe. In the real world, not even close. The reasons why many a person chooses to use macOS, outside of the "YoU bUy It FoR ThE lOgO" that many hard-core technologists seem to believe, don't exist

I'd understand this about the 2016 MacBooks with the butterfly switch keyboards. I don't understand this in 2025.

Probably. The way nobody is calling that out in the thread is wild.

by zapzupnz 10mo ago
Does nobody else think the responses from the person who wrote the code read like the usual sycophantic “you’re absolutely right!” tone you get from AI these days?

Are you really lmgtfy-ing on Hacker News?

I want a hot bath after a long day. I don't have one at home so you best believe I'm having one when I'm travelling.

All of that is cool, but can this help get iOS 18 back on supported devices that have upgraded to 26? That'd be magical.
