Although I never owned one, I can’t believe the industry didn’t follow the original iPhone in its responsiveness. It would prioritize user input above everything else, even graphics rendering. When you clicked on something, it would provide feedback. Contrast that with modern UI across all platforms, and you can regularly click on something and have nothing happen for 5-10 seconds.
Its honestly so bad lol. Windows rapidly declines in performance once iflt boots. When I switch to my gaming desktop it’s just lightning fast always (Linux btw). And it’s not because I’m doing less. And my windows laptop is not even a year old. My desktop is from 2019. Lol.
I have an 8gb M1 Mac mini that my dad gave me. Put Asahi on it with a view to using it for my Home Assistant server. That on its own was perfectly fine, but adding an LLM for voice commands absolutely fucked the RAM. No amount of swap or anything could help, it’d just hang.
So I set it back to macOS, because it can hook into Apple APIs for LLMs that utilise the GPU in a way that Asahi couldn’t. And yeah, Home Assistant + LLM runs really well even in a UTM VM. Same system, completely different outcomes.
And that’s no shade to Asahi. What they’ve achieve is little short of incredible, but there’s certain shit that Apple just won’t let them access.
I’m increasingly getting the feeling they really fucked themselves with the layoffs and genuinely lost some invaluable core team members across the board, and now they are technically incapable of improving certain aspects anymore.
I have to deal with M$ onsite at work regularly. They are mandated to use copilot for basically everything now. When you ask them for tech guidance, it’s a copilot answer.
Presentations are generated by copilot. It’s cringe to say the least.
I can only imagine that’s how it is for all their products now.
Apple performed some incredible wizardry to make iOS and macOS as performant as they come with the chips/hardware they had over the past decade.
I really thought those Microsoft laptops would take a page out of Apple. And do the same thing.
Nope. Microsoft continues to shovel their dog shit resource hogging OS and demand hardware “figure it out”.

That makes me feel bad for the remaining team members of those vital teams.
A microcosm of what the US as a whole is about to experience over the next two decades
They will vibe code some solutions next time xD
