I don't know about Macs, but under iOS/iPadOS you can set a Siri region to somewhere it's unsupported (e.g. Russia) to truly disable it.

It gets back about 15 gigabytes of storage and removes additional stuffs you couldn't disable by setting Screen Time options, such as the Safari Reader's gigantic "summarize" button.

Why is 독도 (written "竹島" in the map) depicted as a Japanese territory?

Some might say I'm bringing politics here, but the map itself is provoking strong political reactions.

I prefer software rendering, I don't use compositor, and I never will.

In software rendering, CPU only updates screen when changes are detected. And the change completes as fast as the computer can. So that's minimal latency + minimal resource consumed.

If you're on a compositor, the 3D accelerator in your computer has to update the screen 60 times every second. It's even worse when you have a higher refresh rate display. And compositors update the buffer as soon as the previous buffer is pushed after the v-sync signal, and then it just waits until the next signal comes in. So there comes the terrible input delay. As a result, it comsumes more power and has higher latency.

So in conclusion, fuck Wayland, and I'm going with xfce without compositor.

Weren't they announced that they would make Windows more user-friendly just a few days ago? Did they break their premises already?

It't true that the ThinkPad display kind of sucks. Though I can upgrade to a 2K OLED panel for additional 80 USD. That makes the E14 30 bucks more expensive than the Neo.

MacBook Neo with 512 gigabytes of storage configuration costs 1,200,000 KRW (Approx. 810 USD for reference) in my nation.

I can get ThinkPad E14 with a decent lunar lake CPU and 16 gigabytes of memory, at a slightly lower price.

So I'm not as hyped as others...

Schizoid personality is not a "disorder".

Having your own ideal and philosophy and not sheepishly following corporate and government propaganda (so called "trend") is what every other person should do.

I tried wayland multiple times before, but the lack of xsct equivalent and the awful input delay (compared to X11 window managers without compositor) made my experience very frustrating. Some might say "it's just a one or two frame delay", but for me that makes a night and day difference. Just an additonal frame delay gives me a feeling of driving a 70s American boat car with worn out tires.

Clippy was the Copilot from the late 90s: A pointless annoying gimmick that disrupted everyone's workflow.

Stop referencing Twitter posts. The only thing I see in it is a popup that I should sign up for their platform.

It still hides your cursor though.

This is not about "lack of humanity", but about violating fundamental UX rules such as hiding your cursor at random times. It's offensive.

You don't have to sacrifice usability while expressing personality.
