They are not all treated the same. Microphone and even Location or Local Network can be permitted direktly with the dialog.

You can use a Mac just fine without using any services from Apple.

I'm also currently trying to switch from VS Code to Zed and my biggest hope was a better performing editor. The startup time is way better but the typing input is so laggy on my 2018 MacBook Pro 15". It's far worse than VS Code. Also the power usage of Zed is high.

The SE got a 2 Generation newer CPU. The iPhone 8 lost software support the same day all other devices with an A11 lost it.

> Yet somehow they can manage update the SE software despite looking the same as the iPhone 8...

Are you seriuos? What does the look of a phone have to do with how long it is supported?

I always say, people who want a touchscreen on their Laptop never used a really good trackpad. I never missed a touchscreen on my MacBook but when I do something on someone else’s Windows Laptop I often prefer to touch the screen because the trackpad is just terrible.

When Steve Jobs said that, he was talking about a stylus as a main or even only input device. And he is still right about it. The Apple Pencil for the iPad never was a main input device but an alternative.

> if you ever want to run the machine hard long-term, you can use 1mm thermal pads between the heatsink and bottom of external case (and then it'll never throttle).

That will spread the heat to the battery and degrade it much faster.

Same for me on mobile. I don’t install the Amazon app I just use the browser where I can limit tracking and only log in when actually buying something.

I use the BenQ RD280U. It’s as wide as a 27” 16:9 and as tall as an 32” 16:9. I really like the aspect ratio and I’m using two of them.

It's very unclear to me what the differences are between the classic installation and the lite version in terms of features.

Can anyone clarify?
