I laughed in real life.

My previous experience with Windows (~3 years ago) was that every single update took ~2 hours to complete, and they were asking to update weekly. I used to game weekly with my friends, and because of the above problem, I would have to turn on my computer the night before and start the update so I would be able to reliably play a game the following day - otherwise, there was an extremely good chance that they would st…
I heard Apex runs pretty good on Linux via Proton

"We could increase the BOM cost putting a bigger camera in but the thickness of the laptop lid is so thin it would never be as good as the phone you most likely already own, so we made it easer for you to use that". It's all a matter of perspective. :) I love the ability to use my phone as a webcam.
And yet they insist on putting a notch on all new MacBooks. Seems like adding a webcam-free option and expanding Continuity Camera support to Android would be a pretty easy win.
Hahaha. Don't hold your breath. It's not going to happen for a couple of reasons. The large variety of Android devices would make reliability and support quite challening, mostly at Apple's expense. Which brings us to the second point: Tim Cook says "buy your mom an iPhone".

Now that we are all on video calls all day, the lower rez the laptop camera the better. Nobody uses their laptop camera for anything else.
This! Why does everyone think that other people in the meeting need to see them in high rez? The lower rez also uses less network bandwidth.

No they didn't. Find by Name… still exists. It's ⌃⇧⌘F (ctrl-shift-cmd-F). You might have missed it because it's a dynamic menu item (Find turns into Find by Name… once you press ⌃⇧). Tip: Use the Help menu to search menu items. I just pressed ⌘? and typed "Find" and Find by Name… popped up.
very intuitive /s

Because on newer Macs, it’s rewriting the whole OS partition with a new firmware image, much like iOS and IPSW files. Windows, on the other hand, generally does incremental upgrades.
That doesn't imply it should be slow; that should imply it should be fast . At least, given that macOS is using a copy-on-write filesystem such that you can share blocks between multiple volumes/snapshots — which it is; and that the OS base-image is a sealed "everyone has the same cryptographic checksum" volume — which it is; and that Apple are using a binary-diff-based "create aside" OS-image update process, like Ch…
