Windows 11 contextual menu takes 2 second to open on a recent PC. Windows surely goes out of its way to make contextual menu a pain to use.

No, we are all on the same boat. 27.2 is a bit better, but introduced some new bugs too. In the end they fix one bug and introduce two new ones.

After every time the computer goes to sleep or something like that. I made a script to quickly restart the Dock.

The funny fact is that they didn't add any new feature to Mission Control, they just rewrote it and broke it in the process.

They surely fixed a lot of bugs, but not enough, and they added so many new stupid ones. Mission Control wasn't perfect before, but at least it wasn't buggy. Now there is a bug every two clicks.

Even double-clicking in Finder is broken, many times double-clicks are just ignored.

Mission Control is unusable in macOS 27. Shortcuts to switch spaces stop working (Dock must be killed to get them to work again), there is a padding between spaces thumbnails and the top of the screen so it's no longer possible to just easily move the mouse at the top to select one, windows rearrange randomly when one is clicked, full screen app spaces breaks each time you try to use them, animations are wonky and you can't reenter mission control while some animations are running, etc…

The process that shows the Spotlight UI is now the one called "Siri", previously it was called "Spotlight".

Which version of svt-av1 are you using? Neon optimisations were added quite recently in svt-av1, and are still a bit incomplete, so it might make a difference.

Running something with "Wine" doesn't usually mean "porting", "porting" means making a native binary that doesn't run through an emulation layer.

Anyway, probably you are trying to run a 32-bit executable with Rosetta, that won't be fast, because Rosetta was never meant to run 32-bit things and has got a lot of pitfalls.

Cool, but Apple didn't announce any M6 Pro yet, so where is this coming from?

Apple's Weather app has an animated background, glassy views, and nice animations like water droplets on the glassy views when it's raining. So rendering all that on a 4k or more display at 10bit depth is going to consume a bit of RAM. However I guess it can surely be improved to make it consume less RAM.

Snow Leopard shipped a new 64-bit Cocoa Finder too, but no one noticed because it was almost a pixel perfect and behaviour perfect copy of the previous one.

Of course, but that works only if the files are already in the same partition. A dmg is a virtual image, even if it's stored in the same partition, once mounted it acts like another partition.

Tahoe can't ramp up the GPU frequency fast enough, and many animation like the QuickLook one often run at less than 30 fps. So much fun.

Games are an almost perfect type of software to be run in a sandbox. The question is, why aren't they already run in a sandbox?

Long press is a shortcut, the longer way is to click on the icon beside the url and tap/click the enormous "reader mode" button.

TCC is a leaky shoot at limiting non-sandboxed apps permissions. The actual macOS sandbox is a different thing.

I would say that TCC is working as intended, unfortunately, with many obscure behaviors to avoid breaking existing apps.

It's even more unfortunate that a lot of apps that could be easily sandboxed aren't.

TCC is a different thing. Sandboxed apps work differently and won't need those TCC dialogs.

Safari, or better, macOS and iOS include a software AV1 decoder (libdav1d), but it's used only to decode avif, and to generate file previews in Finder.

It's missing the double click on a number feature from minesweeper.

To align the window corner radius to the window close/minimize/resize buttons distance from the edge of the window.

Because that's by design. The windows are meant to have different corner radius, they even explained it at WWDC. Then people forgot and rediscovered it again, like it was some new thing.

I am not saying that it's a good idea to have different corner radius, just that it's nothing new.

It broke some NSWindow styles: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/814798

Every device compatible with the Matter standard[1] can be used with Apple Home (and with every other solution that supports Matter, like Google and Amazon ones), so almost everything is compatible with everything out there.

It should be based on the app size, so maybe developers will stop shipping apps with a single feature and one button that takes 700 MB because of random bloated third-party SDKs that aren't even used.

All I read about is that it's less hardware friendly than H.264 and HEVC, and they were all complaining about it. AV2 should be better in this regard.

Where did you read that it was designed to make creating an hardware decoder easier?

I assume there is a reason for leaving out Windows Me.

web.whatsapp.com is still going to use more RAM than the old native version.

The macOS app is the iOS app running on macOS thanks to Catalyst, hopefully they won't replace it with that Electron/WebViewOfTheDay crap.

Nowadays it's all AppKit/UIKit/SwiftUI. It's no longer a webview.
