I don't know about "only doing trivial things". I've built a fully threaded webmail replacement for Gmail using imap, indexes mail to postgres, local Django webapp renders everything in a Gmail/Outlook style threaded view with text/html bodies and attachments and a better local search than gmail, and runs all locally. Started as a "could I?" and ended up exceeding all my expectations
That would be considered a trivial thing, why wouldn't it be? It's just basic crud you're doing. Nothing unique and that hasn't been written about tens of thousands of times across millions of books/blogs/comments before.
I used it to analyze a single player game binary from steam, hook into all the relevant game state modifying functions, add full multiplayer state sync and then also hook all the relevant portions of the UI to add multiplayer to the game.
I'm not saying it's the hardest thing but I also wouldn't consider it trivial.
My old Lenovo t420 has been running 24/7 pegged as a multi-camera DVR since 2011, no issues whatsoever. Of course the battery is removed, but I don't see many decent laptops struggling running under load for prolonged periods.
You might want to run your responses through your legal and HR departments. You're acting as a representative and ignoring some material claims about a significant data privacy issue. You should probably just delete your reply in fact
I thought I was going crazy when my new m4 seemed "fuzzier" on my external 4ks. I tried replicating settings from my old MacBook to no avail.
I wonder if Apple is doing this on purpose except for their own displays.
It's a bit nit-picky on my part, but this bizarre world of MacOS resolution/scaling handling vs. other operating systems (including Windows 11 for crying out loud) is one of my biggest gripes with using Apple hardware.
I remember having to work hard to make my non-Apple display look 'right' years ago on an Intel-based mac due to weirdness with scaling and resolutions that a Windows laptop didn't even flinch handling. It was a mix of hardware limitations and the lack of options I had to address the resolution and refresh rates I had available over a Thunderbolt doc that I shouldn't have to think about.
I honestly hope they finally fix this. I would love it if they allowed sub-pixel text rendering options again too.
This reminds me of this comment, which I feel is a somewhat unsatisfying explanation, given that despite these difficulties, Windows somehow makes it work.
I don't understand what is fuzzy about "lodpi". I've been using it for 8 years on a 4k 43" screen with 1x scaling. Can't say I noticed any difference when switching several times per day between Linux and an M1 MBP, nor any difference when upgrading to an M4 MBP.
