For productivity apps I agree, but defaulting to not hiding the menu bar would probably mean playing full-screen video still had a distracting menu bar present.
Does the notch cut into full screen video? That would drive me crazy.
And it makes no sense, since the application is taking inputs while the transition is running. You're just stuck looking at the old app fading away while the new one fades in, also flashing you with a bright white screen in the process. Ughh!
This is fine, but I (and many others) want the exact opposite. I'm so tired of the distracting notch, I just want the OS to render the desktop environment at a vertically cropped resolution so that the top of the rendered area ends at the bottom of the notch, effectively completely getting rid of it. The author self-promotes his app "Lunar" which apparently does this, but it's paid and closed-source. Anyone know of a…
Also, Lunar is mostly open-source and many apps borrowed code from it (even competitors). For example here is the Notch button implementation: https://github.com/alin23/Lunar/blob/master/Lunar/Data/Displ...
The Notch disabling function is free and doesn't require paying for a Pro license.

It's not irrational in case of toothpaste. Leftover toothpaste mean you buy more and encourage more waste in the environment. This stuff adds up.
I’m reasonably sure that arguing about leftover toothpaste on the internet does more damage to the environment than leaving trace amounts of toothpaste in its tube.
Besides, you are using the term "trace amounts" wrong. The amounts people routinely leave are enough for at least a week of toothbrushing.
This “every single pixel” stuff reminds me of how many people will work at a tube of toothpaste for a minute just to squeeze out one more drop. It’s not really about getting more toothpaste, because you could easily just buy more. It’s also not really about getting the most toothpaste for your money, because you’re likely not also focusing on cheap tubes, bulk buys, etc. It’s certainly not about getting the most toot…
For me, it's actually satisfaction, of getting every last part out of it that I could. It's the same satisfaction I get when playing something like Factorio; efficiency.

I appreciate the free extra screen real estate actually quite a lot and always use it sized to the max.
My 16" MBP would be a perfect device if they could either put the webcam/sensor array behind the glass or just get rid of it. If I want to FaceTime I can use an iPad or iPhone as a peripheral attachment. At this point, virtually perfect hardware is being ruined by a notch. :( It's a reminder every time that there are still design limitations to overcome and engineering feats to be achieved for the next 1,000 years. 8…
