And what do you think this'll do for future LLM models that need to train on new content if web page traffic collapses?

If you turn on the color filters in accessibility settings in macOS you can see what the contrast could look like to a colorblind person.

I don't know but macOS is making it ever more difficult to manage storage, with lots of random things under "macOS" pushing ~40GB or "System Data" that gets a crapload of unrelated things like podcast [1] downloads, with no easy way to purge.

[1] I spent too much time hunting down ~250GB of missing disk space, and it turns out it was the Podcasts app's cache, while the app itself reported no downloads. I fully expected this to be managed automatically, but was getting out of disk space warnings. It's a mess.

A lot of software has been squandering the massive hardware gains that have been made. I hope this changes when it becomes a lot harder to throw hardware at the problem.

I also wonder what this means for smartphone-esque devices like the Switch 2. If this goes on long enough I won't be surprised if they release a 'lite' model with less RAM/Storage and bifurcate their console capabilities, worse than what they did with 3DS > 2DS .

Really wish Apple would get their software quality up from the gutter.

You totally missed what they're saying, which is that "character" is a nebulous term and can mean anything one wants it to be. For example, it could be argued that you're the one changing the neighborhood by refusing any change, and causing people to be priced out, thus changing the neighborhood's "character".

>If someone builds an apartment complex on land near mine, the builder it is not my "neighbor". The builder is an LLC that owns the land. They do not live there and do not care if traffic gets awful, crime goes up, or quality of life of the pre-existing neighbors gets worse. That's because they aren't our neighbor. They're an LLC.

Why would a builder ever be a neighbor? Your neighbors are the people that live in the complex, and they would indeed care if traffic gets awful. Not wanting to suffer through traffic is a major reason one would pick an apartment complex near one's job.

Ultimately NIMBY's want to control property they do not own to the detriment of others. If you don't want an apartment complex next to your house, then consider buying that land and not building an apartment complex.

(This isn't a free pass to younger people either, they don't vote as much as they should)

Is that really your train of thought?

Tim and other executives might be using their devices as email machines, but it’s not obvious they’re using everything they’re quite literally selling us.

A few random examples:

1: The iOS keyboard is literally broken https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hksVvXONrIo&pp=ygUQaW9zIGtleWJ...

2: The Music app is barely functional, and will regularly fail to play music. Here it is bugging out, and stacking multiple album covers https://imgur.com/a/Sg8oU1p

3: Offloading an app does not actually save any space https://imgur.com/a/l9vxnhO

There’s so many more, and none of these examples are edge cases.

There's a lot of dumb rich people, too. Sometimes the wield a lot of power and are indeed bad people.

The Library tab is now the last one, with the rest (Which are lazy-loaded and slow!) are pushing content much of which is locked behind a subscription. It's now even worse with iOS 26 since tabs get groups and requires 2 taps to into my own library.

The Music app has been getting worse and worse every year.

- A salary that is ~15% higher than the median Bay Area household, which consists of ~2.6 people. And as an individual you’re calling it “barely survivable”.

- A salary that is 40% higher than the median household in Austin TX, which consists of 2.7 people. The median individual makes about $52,223 in Austin.

Am I reading this right? On top of this you seem to have a negative and entitled attitude, based on your other responses.

McDonald's app-free pricing is now butting against actual sit-down restaurants, or a good local shop. I'm not price sensitive per se, but I don't want a raw deal, so I'll pick the better option. McD's used to be cheap and fast, now it's neither really.

Their sales are falling, and they're doing $5 deals now, so I'm definitely not the only one picking other options.
