@john Oh man, yeah, I’ve noticed that! It changes your selection if you tap the info button!

But I am vigilant on my main machine — I am NOT going to let Tahoe on there!

@thomasfuchs Oh! Hahaha, how funny! Somehow I hadn’t heard about that site.

Somewhat related, I think extreme wealth and fame/power kind of do damage even to good people.

@tuomas_h Ah, I’ve never actually gone back in OS versions on a Mac, but I was wondering about that. Thanks for confirming!

Yeah, I’m thinking I’ll give it a spin.

I make iOS apps, so I’ve been on iOS 26 since the pre-release dev betas, but the Mac is my work machine and Tahoe has me anxious. But probably worth touring.

Thanks, Tuomas!

@thomasfuchs Hell yeah! I loved that iBook.

And I totally agree. I miss when Jony Ive talked about what a privilege it was to be able to bring great design and quality to millions of people at an accessible price. That is… no longer his vibe.

I recently had the joy of working on such a product, a premium product meant for everyone, and it was awesome.

@thomasfuchs (I know you also make products, more than I have! I’m an admirer of your work! I’m pretty sure you and I agree on this.)
I make products. Most product companies do NOT focus first on making good products.

@thomasfuchs Yeah, totally agree.

I’m really impressed with Apple’s choice to hold to their quality (it’s a real Mac, and a good one), but also just the point of actually focusing on making a good Mac at a minimal price. They just nailed it.

Plus the color and marketing caught the awesome vibe and ran with it.

I think the reason the MacBook Neo has been able to surpass the entire lower-priced PC laptop industry, and caught those companies flat-footed, is that no one but Apple has been trying to make a good product in that space.

I really mean it, very literally: Yes, those other companies are trying to make MONEY selling inexpensive laptops, but they’re not trying to make GOOD inexpensive laptops.

Making a quality product is an endeavor! And those other companies can’t just instantly start.

For odd reasons, I have a spare MacBook Pro around. I do plan to use it for work, before selling it.

I’m keeping my main MBP on Sequoia, because Tahoe looks awful.

But my question: Should I upgrade this second MBP to Tahoe, to try it out? And/or for any features?

this is legit good ai i am not joking it is better response than chatpgt
