How timely, I was just thinking about Sun after doing some office rearranging last week and running into a bunch of sun branded ethernet cables.

On the current M series hardware, in my experience, it's rare for the icon to land from its first bounce before the software is up and ready.

Perhaps its a slight overcorrection but it's better than the past where an online shop I gave my credit card info to would reply to a forgotten password request with an e-mail with my password in it in plaintext. Security used to be awful and people suffered because of it.

I think this is less a "macOS lacks the feature to prevent focus stealing" and more they never even imagined the scenario where it takes time for the app to open. Instead of even considering that a user may add inputs while waiting for launch, potentially signaling that they are no longer requesting focus from the program they clicked on, they simply designed for the optimistic case where there never IS time for the user to give these inputs before their intention of opening the program is completed. Not saying it's any less bad from a user's perspective, but I think there's a difference in mindset here.

That is likely the case; cost savings, simplicity, etc. but the end result is USB-C does not "just work" for most consumers.

I've always found the opposite, do you have any examples where macOS falls short compared to Windows in shortcut consistency?

Jobs was a terrible person on a personal level, all the other tech CEOs are terrible people on a societal level.

Not trying to nitpick you, just genuinely curious what version your first experience was with. There was no System 6.5, there was a 7.5 and System 6 ended at 6.0.8.

"CSS-only" colloquially tends to mean HTML and CSS without Javascript, sometimes without images.

Lots of javascript for a "css-only" tool. Looks like just the rendering is css-only.

> Why the hell is there no key to delete a file?

Cmd+delete? I don't really want it to be a single key as it's too easy to accidentally trigger (say I try to delete some text in a filename but accidentally bump my mouse and lose focus on the name)

One implies "we should regulate AI" and the other implies "we should regulate the wealthy"
