Yeah, this is parody-level fake satire, as per the author’s self-description.

It seems to me that almost all native English speakers got principal and principle backwards. I’m actually surprised when I see them used correctly (which is not the case here).

Yep. The day they kill old.reddit is the day I stop using it.

I feel bad that you’ve been left hanging there.

What’s the third one? :)

The plural of you is yous or ye. In Ireland at least.

I’m saying fps because that’s what the OP said they changed that caused the issue. But I guess you’re right, he must have meant refresh rate.

I wasn’t being sarcastic, I do believe you. :)

Ok, I’ll take your word for it.

It’s rectangle, not in the app store but you can download it like bamboo said.

Ok, you know better. I had heard that the M2 was able to handle more external displays than the M1, but haven’t tried it myself as in my current setup I can’t even use one external display. Last time I was able to use external displays I had two, but I was using an Intel version.

Or maybe I don’t care. I’ve never used a computer and thought “I need to change the fps”.

Good question. The only answer I can come up with is gaming. If I was interested in gaming I would probably use a Windows machine. I am not though.

And that reason is?

I understand, and it’s a bug, like the Mac OS is the only piece of software with a bug. Shouldn’t be a reason to despise an OS.

I still don’t see why you’d change the fps if not for gaming. Maybe I’m too old to notice any difference between 30 and 60 fps when scrolling through a website… IDK.

I’ve never changed the fps. Why would I do that? It’s not a gaming machine.

Exactly.

I believe many of the display issues were fixed with the M2. And you don’t need brew to install a window manager, although the fact that brew lets you treat it like a linux box is great.

The system configuration is more about what you’re used to than anything else. I haven’t used Windows in a couple of decades, and I absolutely hate it. Can’t even think of going back. The modern version looks like a tablet OS trying to pass as a desktop OS. Give me a Windows machine and the first thing I’ll do is wipe it clean and install Ubuntu. But I’m also sure Windows is great for you. So it’s what we’re used to. Nothing wrong with it.

I’ll tell you why: the best hardware and software that just works with it. No need to deal with drivers or any of that shit.

I still use my MacBook Pro 2011 and I can’t find a reason to change it. It just keeps working. And I say that with a 2023 MacBook Pro M2 sitting right next to it (work laptop). Sure, it’s faster, but that’s it.

Reminds me of the time this lady came in carrying the PC and the CRT monitor saying it didn’t work, I plugged it in, turned it on, the tower did all the right noises and lights, but the screen was black. I thought for a second, then reached for the brightness control and voila, there it was. The embarrassment of the poor lady!
