The sets are beautiful, but in this season some of the lens choices have resulted in so much CA/distortion outside the focus that you miss out on seeing them properly - to point of frustration. Possibly not noticeable at HD, but glaring in 4K.

I do the 'double sharp inhale' method for the anxiolytic effect occasionally - not really something you can do at the office however.
A couple of months ago I opened the Clock app in an important meeting, to run a timer, and had to wait 10 minutes for it to update itself. For real. Same thing happened when I opened sound recorder.
It's probably not going to get better at this point. It's only going to have increasing amounts of online services integrated into the OS. The writing was on the wall when Windows 10 Enterprise shipped with Candy Crush
[Enable] Dictation Privacy (a policy) [Cancel] ---
--- Do you want to enable Dictation? When you dictate text, information like your voice input and contact names are sent to Apple to help your Mac recognise what you’re saying.

I think it is entirely fair to put Apple in this category, because they have effectively disabled offline dictation for me except if I agree to sent my voice data to Apple. I have used this offline dictation feature for years by the way
What interface do you use for using local whisper?
The options are different for me in the settings app, and using dictation is for me right now, impossible without agreeing to a modal displaying an agreement to send audio data to Apple.
The direction of major operating systems neutering themselves in favour of deep service integration does not fill one with hope
I've bought tablets multiple times thinking it could replace it, it just isn't the same. It's a real shame that particular form factor has been lost, as we could probably easily have an m4 air in that size. I'd buy one in a heart beat now that Apple has remembered how to make good keyboards again.
Even though it was tiny,
It's annoying because I contributed UX to this librewolf feature a few years ago (because I really wanted it), its finally landed but I can't use it - it was the blocker to adopting the more strict privsec model that librewolf offers by default (it solves the 'cookie exceptions are a pain to manage' problem. Obviously something to do with my kitchen-sink Firefox profile folder copy, but for now I guess I'll just carry on with cookies persisting and at some point rebuild a fresh librewolf profile if I want to adopt their defaults.
So there's at least that, if this ambigious license stuff (and recent ad company purchases) bothers you, you can probably just copy your profile into Librewolf's profile folder, rename, and have done something about this perceived issue without a major disruption
Reminds me of the guy on Youtube obsessed with optimizing Mario64 code, he found really interesting things like how removing optimizations made the game faster - presumably because the very basic tooling the original developers had made it hard to measure things across the board, and also not making the most of the powerful hardware architecture.
`LibreWolf: Always store cookies/data for this site`
That's great, and I think I will now switch over
This definition of helping me (a user} navigate could be interpreted in many ways, from the obvious all the way through to sending Mozilla my data so they can "improve Firefox" and therefore help me through giving them my information. This signals intent against my interest, regardless of whether that actually is there intent. The 'help' in particular is extremely suspicious and ambiguous
