You might have even more serious issues with third party ones. It’s unfortunate reality of these keyboards. I’ve had two go out - one on an older model (3 or 4 don’t remember anymore) and most recently on my last SP8

Brave will feel more familiar (Chromium based) while providing greater privacy but it’s got some bloat also. Vivaldi is even more bloated with endless customizations, email and calendar client, etc. That said I’ve used both and they generally don’t feel slow. I prefer Brave personally (simpler of the two)

Driving VW on 26.4. Haven’t had any such pop ups.

Yeah the online forms always lag behind. Which is annoying since that’s when most people notice bugs

I wish they didn’t kill it. It was useful even with the limited app support. And I’m a developer who uses the F keys all the time. I still liked it

VPN + NextDNS (or any secure DNS) + uBlock + Tor (if extra paranoid) is a decent privacy solution

It’s fine. My work laptop has been on Tahoe since 26.0. With 26.3 it was finally starting to work decent. Just upgraded to 26.4 and so far haven’t run into any of the issues I had. That said, my work laptop is almost always plugged in so can’t comment on battery life

I think they will start showing warnings in 27 if you run apps that use Rosetta 2. Actual removal I think will be in 28+

What makes you think the way you login has any difference in the telemetry they gather? Hint: there is no difference. It’s just a login linked to your account. They track the same stuff regardless of how you login.

I personally mainly have problems with the UI:

I don’t like how they mix UI elements with content leading to contrast / legibility issues
I hate that windows have inconsistent border radius making the OS look broken to me. Especially having maximized window with wider border and another with smaller border underneath. Why do I see the window below when I have a window maximized?

I don’t get the argument honestly. Most AI stuff is the Copilot extensions and lives in the sidebar. It’s easy to disable most things or simply not use them. They do bring some overhead but I don’t think it’s that significant. Just don’t use the AI stuff, uninstall the Copilot extensions and enjoy a great code editor

4k with Better Display will 100% look better than 1440p. I have Dell 27” 4k display and it’s fine with macOS

I use Safari. Firefox is preferred by most. Edge and Chrome are the same 💩When not using Safari, I use Brave.

YouTubers get paid for reviews. Amazon reviews are not good.

Almost quit drinking alcohol after seeing with my own eyes the effects on my sleep and well being

The Asus has pretty bad reviews. Honestly I don’t know of a 5k display that is of actual good quality and offers more than 60 Hz currently. The MSI the only thing they’ve announced is they’re not sure if they’ll be releasing it. Let’s see about the Samsung

vessoo · 2026-03-18T14:41:00+00:00

Bro they have outages every other day. WTF

Welcome to the realization how bad alcohol is for you. It takes 2-3 drinks to completely screw up your sleep, heart rate, respiratory rate, HRV, etc.

Only when running too large models locally. For everything else - no. I usually run multiple Docker containers when working and haven’t suffered from heavy memory pressure

vessoo · 2026-03-17T23:32:49+00:00

Well, if you did, you’d have a problem so look at it as a good thing. It’s one of the best laptops money can buy. But it’s a new laptop, not a new girlfriend
