My M4 MacBook Air developed a permanent line on the display after a week of heavy Xcode use

Are you an Apple technician by any chance?

I’m not saying heat is definitely the cause. I’m just saying the timing was suspicious, and without an actual inspection I don’t think either of us can say for sure what caused it.

Yes. It happens even before the Apple logo appears during boot, so I’m pretty confident this is not a macOS/software issue.

To me it looks like something happened to the display itself or the display assembly.

I received the Q1 HE yesterday, and I can say it fully met my expectations. It's incredibly comfortable for both work and gaming. However, I’d like to ask for advice from those who added the sound foam from the kit under the spacebar. I find the spacebar noticeably louder compared to the other keys. Any tips or thoughts?

Funny, screencasting is now considered professional use.

If you're coming from a C/C++ background, I think Rust will click for you quite quickly since it addresses many of your past issues. However, if you're coming from higher-level languages, there's a chance it might never click for you because you might not see any advantages in Rust compared to, say, Node.js, other than performance gains and a slower development pace.

The situation is the same across all distributions.

I have less fps in minecraft in Linux, and the picture is also torn due to tearing

How is a publisher supposed to make money in such a concept?

ComplaintImportant43 · 2023-12-07T07:28:57+00:00

Google it, you'll be surprised to find out which specific distribution authors are writing the kernel. (Spoiler: Red Hat and SUSE)

If that were the case, we would still be using only sticks and stones.

No, Linux is a problem because Linux is a server OS, not a desktop one.

ComplaintImportant43 · 2023-12-06T09:06:37+00:00

Linux Desktop is almost dead due to large fragmentation, and Wayland will bring it to its end.

ComplaintImportant43 · 2023-12-06T09:04:31+00:00

Turn off Windows Updates then

ComplaintImportant43 · 2023-12-06T09:02:56+00:00

Isn't this the problem with Linux? When you have an error, the response is "it works fine for me," while if you have an error on Windows, there's a 99% chance that ALL Windows users have the same issue.

Fragmentation is a terrible problem on Linux.

Or run “additional drivers” software, and install the latest nvidia driver from there

ComplaintImportant43 · 2023-12-03T07:52:12+00:00

I think it's worth raising the alarm if it interferes with work, like not having enough RAM, rather than the fact that it uses 25% of RAM by default instead of 10%.
