I've replaced the battery earlier this year. With Sequoia I get about 14 hours of use (browsing with firefox, emails with thunderbird, youtube, spotify, apple pages and numbers). Last year when I "downgraded" to tahoe, my battery life was effectively halfed and returned to normal when I upgraded back to Sequoia. Same thing is true with GG this year.

Among other signs of awfulness, macOS 27 (and 26 before it) half the battery life of my M1 Air, forcing me to stay on Sequoia for a 2nd year.

Vegemite is more like a human rights violation.

I read somewhere once that Sam Altman sounds like a name for a fictional villain made up by Hideo Kojima for Metal Gear Solid, and it will never not make sense.

> Deloitte falsified documents

Isn't that their core business?

Recently I went through the list of all of the subs that I follow and 80% of them were all cat related.

Cookie vs biscuit, vacation vs holiday, gasoline vs petrol, etc, etc.

I can't help but keep thinking that client-side scripting was a mistake. Sure, the web would be a lot more primitive without it, but I'm not convinced that wouldn't be for the best.

The constant overlapping dialogue as you kept on clicking wasn't an exaggeration.

Despite the fact that a lot of dvd menus were confusing to navigate and / or outright ugly, it's a shame that it became another lost art form. The bad ones were often spectacularly bad, though lol

Not gonna lie, I would like a "Black Edition" of macOS. There is a decent OS buried under tons of rubble.

We really don't need a new desktop OS every year.

Sequoia was the Snow Leopard of the 2020s. Going from that high to the lows of tahoe or golden gate is a real and jarring downgrade.

For something to be considered dead, it must have been alive in the first place, which was never the case with the Copilot PC brand.
