I have a question...

Why is it that so many of Apple's own apps do not remember their sidebar/inspector's widths?

This is literally free behavior in #AppKit and is also possible in #SwiftUI for #macOS without any work. I know because my apps do it -- both macOS apps (one in SwiftUI and the other in AppKit).

But so many of Apple's first party apps will not persist the widths you've set.

Shortcuts.app was one and now Icon Composer.

I asked the question : Do you want a laptop with Copilot+?

1% said yes.
96% said (hell) no.
3% were not sure.

This is a great example of something being pushed that most really do not want.

Big Tech is very focused on winning the AI war. Problem is, that in their eagerness to do that, they focus just on what they want you to do, instead of what you want to do.

technical question:

why do OS installations take ages - we're talking 30+minutes on modern hardware?

what are they doing?

naively I thought

1. just coping 1s and 0s to a disk shouldn't take that long, even 4GB of them.

2. maybe the installer is testing hardware works? surely that doesn't take 30-60 minutes.

we're talking windows, solaris, macOS, not just Linux.

BSDs seem to do (1) above.
