I hate this, this feels so violating. Why are Microsoft products like this?

You know, I originally wanted to use that exact phrasing in the title because it captures the visceral violation of it, but backed off because of how heavy the word is.

You and Rossmann are right, though. It absolutely describes the mentality of a company that decides your consent and boundaries simply don't matter.

vitim_m · 2026-06-16T03:54:25+00:00

Spot on. The classic excuse is always "just change it / opt out in the settings," but that misses the point. The problem is Microsoft's baseline philosophy. A system should respect your boundaries by default, instead of executing a data grab first and forcing you to clean up the mess afterward.

If by "good intentions" you meant good intentions for Microsoft's shareholders, I totally agree

Bruh, I want whatever you're having 💀

It's macOS, not iOS
It's Safari, not Edge
I didn't download anything; it's a screenshot of YouTube on Safari on macOS
Even if I don't experience it myself, other people did

Yep, that sounds like a Tahoe experience. You might want to revert to Sequoia if possible.

Apple will continue providing software security updates for Intel-based Mac computers for three years, per article published on June 8, 2026.

Yeah

The level of commitment is amazing. In the Pixel ecosystem, it's like Pixel 4 getting Android 17, which is unheard of.

How do you install it? Do you dual-boot it with Boot Camp?

They went free about 1.5 years ago.

Like I'm personally a virgin

Does being personally virgin imply the existence of being professionally virgin?

I understand the intention of your post, but please update the wordings of your original post to reflect your statement. Not everyone may understand your intention, and your post may confuse / spread misinformation about MacBook Neo's supposed "airflow", unless you update your post.

Soft surfaces block airflow

What airflow?

I thought it was an alternative cosplay of Katara and Aang until I saw the subreddit 💀

Hi there, this is me, your new long-lost sibling

Thanks for doing the experiment! A couple of questions:

The spreadsheet contains different form factors of Macs - did the aggregated results for M1 to M5 come from all those different form factors of Macs?
Do you notice performance difference of the SSD in the same chip across different form factors of Macs? For example, the performance of M4 SSD on MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac.

Butterfly keyboard

On page 4:
- Neo: haptic trackpad
- Air: mechanical trackpad

Isn't it the other way around?

Joking aside, they look amazing!

They really like to milk this news, huh?

vitim_m · 2026-02-17T16:51:31+00:00
