@Drachenya @stroughtonsmith I had the same thought. https://www.jeremykanter.com/thoughts/bye-dye

Bye, Dye - Jeremy Kanter

Product design. User research. Branding. Music. Sports. Photography. Making stuff on the computer.

@jeremykanter @Drachenya @stroughtonsmith You nailed it, the UI issues seem to be fixable to a faster degree than the other parts of technical debt that you pointed out.

All the Mac nerds saying Liquid Glass in Tahoe went too far, but I don't think it went anywhere near far enough 😅 I want to see it go forward, not backward. Give it more color, give it more depth and clarity, more animation, (maybe call it Aqua…), but let's not revert to what was already a Dye-era iOS-7-inspired design anyway

How UI degrades over time.

Top (Windows 95): great contrast, obvious shapes. Instantly readable.

Middle (Windows 11): shapes are still self-explanatory, but contrast is gone.

Bottom (Windows 11 Insiders): what am I even looking at? The only shape I can understand here is the Run button. Barely visible, though.

Then, on the left, there’s another something that says Run and has an icon. What is it? A window title? Another button? Why does it have to say Run twice?

@dschaub @atpfm @siracusa I think Apple should have a powerful option for AI devs and other high end use cases, but I'm not sure the current Mac Pro is it. I'd take Trash Can 2.0 as a hotter running version of the Mac Studio over having NO Mac Pro IMO. If Apple could get an Extreme chip up and running I think it would be worth it for high end applications like science, AI, and high end video and graphics.

@siracusa @atpfm In the future, I'd like to see a special sale for the old processor shirts that people missed as a one time deal.

@snazzyq Only thing that blows is that a lot of cellular providers are still stuck in the last decade on pricing for these plans even though I have a 5G plan on T-Mobile that regularly clocks over 1 gig.
