I use Macs for programming, music (DAW), and video (NLE), and don't see to have all these big problems people have. Several Macs over the years. And those are quite demanding applications (for programming, resource wise, I didn't use Docker until recently, but did use Vagrant, Vmware, and virtuabox for ages). My major gripes are swallen batteries (2 times in 20 years), and the crappy 2015-2019 keyboards (plus, whoeve…

> plus, whoever idiot designed the usb-at-the-bottom mouse The batteries last so long in those mice, plus you can get an almost full day's charge in about two minutes. It takes a real idiot to run into issues with it. :)

I must be a real idiot then (which is very possibly the case, but I'm pretty sure not for disliking this design).

On top of the batteries starting dying much faster later on (the "last so long" thing is only true on the first 1-2 years), the warning is shown and dismissed far too easily, and far too late - and then they just die.

Broadcom makes some good stuff now and then (Rpi’s)

The Broadcom SoCs used in the RPi's are not "good stuff" at all - they are one of the worst pieces of junk I have ever had the displeasure of using. They are extremely unstable, and if you want any kind of moderately reliable deployment of an RPi, you need to use a watchdog timer to reset the device if it freezes. Except - guess what - the watchdog timer itself is broken on the RPi! (As of the last time I tried this,…

"They are extremely unstable," Really? Because they are used by millions every single day.

I stand by my words.

Standing by a demonstrably wrong statement is your right.

I disagree. As a 20 year Mac user, Catalina has waaay worse. Big Sur has been painless. So much so that we’ve rolled it out enterprise wide at [Giant Internet Company]

Mail and calendar notifications are both a huge mess in Big Sur and a major downgrade.

I haven’t run into that, but I don’t use Calendar or Mail. What issues have you noticed?

I just moved on to Big Sur since I got an M1... the previous MBP was on High Sierra, so you can imagine my culture shock! Big Sur reminds me of nothing more than Windows XP, and that's not a compliment.

I’ve taken a big liking to Big Sur. It is a graceful evolution of the UI that needs a lot more precision work (like Preferences, the menu bar shortcuts and Notifications) but it’s a solid base for the next couple of years.

I don't think it helps that I'm on a Windows machine for work these days, and it's only personal time I have to adjust.
