I think it's more that OWC makes horrible, incompatible hardware

I updated a user to Monterey on their 2015 11-inch MBA with a Samsung 970 EVO and there were no issues..

i didn't know at the time that you could just drop a regular m2 nvme drive into a $2 adapter from china to deal with the weird apple connector :(

if you care about small features and implementation changes and developer-oriented information then a poo poo ton of stuff happens in any given os release because all of that stuff basically scales with how many programmers are working on it

if you don’t care about any of that stuff, that’s probably healthy, and it’s probably time to acknowledge that as you’ve gotten older you’ve gotten less obsessive and find random technical data that isn’t directly relevant to you less intrinsically fascinating than you did when you were 19

yeah this is what I was complaining about in like 10 separate posts itt

what is happening is that ios 14 had a bug where any web page with media element, playing audio or video, would not be properly terminated from screen time when safari would leave foreground as long as you interacted with the element, even if momentarily. that led to fake hours accumulating on sites like twitter, your local news, etcetra. ios 15 did not fix this bug, and did introduce another one on top, where every web page opened via web view (e.g. my rss reader using “in-app browser” to open a link to an hn post) would also keep contributing towards screen time while in the background, or even when closed. with ios 15 release my alleged screen time did balloon by like 10 hours due to this

oh yeah, for sure. when you restart, the screen flips back and forth between piss / not piss, and finally lands on piss on the login screen. then you can see it fade to not piss if you've turned it off in the only user account you have

and the notch is a good place to hide the cursor. full screen mode completely hides the notch. it's invisible with the mini LED display. really the best display on a macbook

it's loving heavy but the flat curved edges are super nice. it reminds me of the best apple computer ever made: the Titanium PowerBook G4. g*d I loved that computer back in the day
