Every OS has papercuts like this. Want me to write a story about Linux or Windows that is equally painful? Pick your poison .. i've dealt with it all.
Sure, when was the last time a Linux update overwrote your DNS resolver settings?

But you can run your own kernel on Macs, no? Isn‘t driver support the issue?
Not on new silicon and asahi linux is still pretty damn far from being able to use it seriously. I do appreciate the effort, but I am just saying that it would be a lot better if you know, apple sold the hardware so vendors could build laptops with apple silicon.

As a hobbyist music producer with an interface always connected, that microphone indicator is so annoying and unnecessary. I can't believe it can't just be disabled outright. I like macOS but it's too opinionated and some of those opinions SUCK.
Yeah I can see that being a source of annoyance for situations like yours. However, I welcome it from a privacy perspective. The indicator alerts the user if some nefarious application covertly enables the microphone.

The LLM presents a perverse incentive here - It is used for perceived efficiency gains, most of which would be consumed by the act of rewriting and redrafting. The alienness of the thoughts in the document is also non-condusive to this; Reading a long document about something you think you know but did not write is exhausting and mentally painful - This is why code review has such relatively poor results. Quite frank…
>The LLM presents a perverse incentive here - It is used for perceived efficiency gains, most of which would be consumed by the act of rewriting and redrafting. It might give efficiency gains for the writer, but the reader has to read the slop and try to guess at what it was intending to communicate and weed out "hallucinations". That's a big loss of efficiency for the reader.
Papercuts like this are why I moved away from macOS. I will say, I don't love the use of LLMs to write these bug reports. It's probably fine if reviewed, but at least review for things like "worked on macOS 25", which obviously didn't exist. If that wasn't caught, how sure are you that the rest of the report is accurate? We all want the bugs fixed, but people are going to start throwing out the obviously LLM written…
So nothing will change as Apple is renown for throwing out reports?

I completely agree - The efficiency gains are purely from a selfish standpoint.

> Edit: also, compatibility with video games (even ones released for macos) is abysmal. It’s much worse than Linux’s ability to run the Windows version of MacOS native releases! Linux can run Windows native games because Valve has shoved millions and millions into perfecting Proton. And I still wonder why Apple hasn't just dumped a billion on Valve's door to build a similar tool for macOS.
Apple’s ‘Game Porting Toolkit’ is basically Proton; they just haven’t made a GUI for it.

Who said anything about spellcheck?
GP said they weren't okay with someone using an AI to check for grammatical errors. If they would be okay with using software to check for spelling errors, I'd be interested to know why they're making that distinction. And I'd like to know what they think of autocorrect, which at least on the iPhone uses an on-device LLM nowadays.
By the way autocorrect on the iphone got worse recently, bunch of times it "corrected" the word to a wrong one for me

Today, literally today. My pihole updated, broke its own dns, stopped working, and broke dns for every device on my network.
