Apple has not addressed Electron issues, however you can track which individual apps (that you might use) have or have not pulled the fix

the website is correct, you need to update the apps on your mac

Thats fair, I guess. But running an electron app that out of date is just playing with fire. You know, with the couple hundred chromium and electron CVE's and all :/

not at all! thanks for the callouts, i'm sure people who have those installed will find the headsup helpful!

compared to... nothing... I love it. It's subjective. I love what it does and it's my favorite piece of software because it does what i need it to do, every time, all the time.

Wise, applies to every piece of software on earth.

Love my 1985 Chevy and my 2025 (insert not very hated auto make here). Each has its uses

Oof, those are some ancient electron versions.

Thanks for the mention! Yes, I was the person who found the original bug in electron and made the PR to get it fixed. Now doing my due diligence of (nicely) asking companies to update their versions :)

Meh. VSCode is a fantastic piece of software, one I never had a problem with before Tahoe.

No issues. There was a very specific bug in electron that's now fixed.. now we just wait until companies bump the electron versions

Ollama does not use electron.

Issue exists on 26.1 db

nope, that has nothing to do with electron, completely separate

It's very hard to notice and very easy to attribute something else. The main symptom is your laptop heating up which is usually attributed to (1) You just have a slow MacBook, you should get a new one (2) During beta, "it's a beta and it's expected to heat up and be slow" (3) People not caring about temps because they use the laptop in clamshell mode

I believe this falls into the perfect definition of "slipped thru the cracks"

1. workaround for high GPU load by Electron apps (what this HN thread is about) — see the command here: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/48311#issuecomme...

2. unrelated workaround for scroll bug - defaults write com.google.Chrome NSAutoFillHeuristicControllerEnabled -bool false

GPU load bug and Autofill bug are two separate, completely unrelated issues.

there's a workaround for Electron apps on MacOS Tahoe 26 - https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/48311#issuecomme...
