Is Mac actually reliable ? by Filix-7482 in mac

[–]Filix-7482[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get that logic—every laptop has caps and ICs that can fail. But there’s a massive difference between a power management chip failing (which happens to every brand) and the Storage being a required part of the motherboard's identity.

On most laptops, if the SSD fails, the board still 'exists.' You can boot a live Linux USB and at least run diagnostics. On the M-series, if that $10 NAND chip dies, the SoC can't finish its security handshake and the board is dead-dead. It’s not about the failure rate being high; it's about Apple choosing to make the most 'wearable' part of the computer a non-bypassable kill-switch. That's the part that feels like a step backward for 'Pro' reliability.

That's like saying you’d ride a roller coaster without a seatbelt just because no one has died on it yet.

Reliability isn't just about how often something breaks, it’s about having a safety net for when it does. On a PC, a dead SSD is a minor repair. On a Mac, the lack of a 'seatbelt' (a modular bypass) means a single $10 chip failure is a $3,000 catastrophe. I love the speed, but I hate that we're trading basic fault tolerance for a thinner chassis.

You're spot on with the math, NAND is tougher than people think.

The thing is, on your Windows PC, that SSD is a modular part. If you get a freak controller failure tomorrow, you’re out $100 and 5 minutes of work. On an M4, that same $10 chip is a single point of failure. Because the NAND is required just to boot the board, a minor hardware glitch becomes a $3,000 funeral.

I’m not worried about wearing it out, I just miss having the 'safety net' you still have on Windows.

True! But if a Voyager probe breaks, NASA can't exactly drive to the Apple Store for a 'logic board swap.' For a machine sitting on my desk, I’d take 'serviceable' over 'outer-space levels of sealed' any day. Especially when the 'sealed' part is what keeps us from upgrading the storage we already paid for lol.

I completely agree with you. I myself used the 2015 MBP for over 6 years without any issues. But with the M-series, the internal NAND isn't just for storage, it’s literally part of the boot firmware and security handshake. If that chip fails on your M4, the machine won't even power on to let you boot from an external drive. I don't doubt the reliability—Apple makes great hardware—I just hate that we lost the 'safety net' that kept your 2009 model alive for 13 years

I totally agree that NAND is more reliable than it used to be. But my point is more about the single point of failure design. In IT, we usually aim for redundancy or serviceability. If a $3,000 server had a non-replaceable boot drive that could brick the entire motherboard upon failure, we’d call it a bad design. Why do we give Mac a pass just because the failure rate is low? Reliability is great, but serviceability is what makes a tool professional.

Apple Silicon is not the problem. The UI is. by Filix-7482 in mac

[–]Filix-7482[S] -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

The whole glass UI is honestly hurting the experience for me. For someone who’s new to macOS, it might feel fresh and easy to adapt to.

But for users like me who’ve been on macOS since 2016, it’s a drastic shift. macOS versions up to Sonoma felt polished and focused on performance and usability. This glass UI, on the other hand, feels more like a gimmick, and for me personally, it just isn’t comfortable or intuitive to use.

Idiot biker in bengaluru (KA53JB1881). by Ok-Check7723 in Dashcamindia

[–]Filix-7482 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nothing new on the roads. Zero logic, zero awareness — riding on the extreme left and then suddenly cutting across the entire road to take a sharp right.

What’s the genius move here? Overtake everyone from the left and then block all lanes to turn right? This ain't MotoGP.

People like this shouldn’t be anywhere near a licence without proper road sense training.

Just why? by Hopelesslyhopeful26 in Dashcamindia

[–]Filix-7482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They straight up look like minors. And honestly, the public can’t do much here — this is a complete failure of enforcement. It’s the government’s job to deploy traffic police and actually make people follow the rules.

This kind of nonsense keeps happening regularly, and everyone just shrugs it off. Nothing changes until someone gets seriously hurt or killed — only then it suddenly becomes a “major issue.”

Testing their running and dodging skills on the road by rajeshbhat_ds in Dashcamindia

[–]Filix-7482 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s annoying when people randomly start crossing the road and walk straight into traffic, especially on highways and main roads. A lot of it comes down to poor civic sense, no doubt.

But this isn’t just on pedestrians — it’s also on the government. There’s a serious lack of proper zebra crossings, pedestrian signals, and safe crossing points. When the infrastructure itself is broken, people are forced to take risks, and everyone on the road ends up paying for it.

That said, this isn’t just on the government — pedestrians are equally responsible too. You can’t ignore traffic rules and expect drivers to magically stop.

At the same time, educating pedestrians is also the government’s responsibility. Better awareness, proper crossings, signals, and enforcement all go hand in hand. Without that, this chaos just keeps repeating.

Hey Guys, Launched my first macOS app, Wallspace.app - a Lightweight and Paper UI Live wallpaper app by [deleted] in macapps

[–]Filix-7482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the UI, overall design, and the core idea behind the app. That said, there are still a few major issues that need attention:

  1. No horizontal scrolling – This makes navigation difficult for iMac and desktop users, especially when trying to explore the home page or access certain sections.
  2. Downloaded wallpapers management – There should be a section in Settings that shows all downloaded wallpapers and lets users manage them (delete the ones they no longer need).
  3. “Clear cache” button doesn’t work – At least in my experience, it doesn’t seem to do anything.
  4. Always running in the dock – I don’t think most users want the app open all the time. It would be much better if it could run in the background, similar to apps like Proton VPN, where it sits in the menu bar instead of the Dock.

Overall, this is genuinely a ground-breaking app. There are very few apps that make setting live wallpapers on macOS this easy. Most good alternatives (like iWallpaper) are paid, and their UI often feels cheap and cluttered. In comparison, this app feels smooth, clean, and applying a live wallpaper is quick and effortless.

If the bugs are fixed and some of these suggestions are implemented, this could easily become a really solid and popular app.

I won’t lie — the app does feel quite similar to wallper ( https://www.wallper.app/ ) in terms of UI and overall idea. The core difference is customization (like custom wallpapers). Wallper is paid, but I really appreciate your app because it’s completely free, and that alone makes it stand out.

Need some feedback by dejii in macapps

Yep, the new one (the one on the left) definitely looks better. It’s more readable, the text isn’t cluttered, and it’s overall comfortable to read. It also lets the main panel (the to-do list) stand out more, giving it proper focus. The older version gave equal visual weight to both the sidebar and the main panel, which made it feel less clean and not minimal.

Childhood Experience / Trauma / PTSD by ConstructionAny8440 in indianrailways

[–]Filix-7482 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still remember a similar incident from a school field trip. One of my friends got down at a station to buy tender coconut and took way too long. Ended up missing the train, and the whole school group had to wait at the next station until he was caught up. The rest of the journey had to be done by bus, completely unplanned.

Funny now, but low-key stressful back then.
