It has horrible battery life, even on a relatively new device. Don’t upgrade.

This is the worst part of it.

I actually feel a warm computer now, something that I have never experienced in five years of having this M1 MacBook.

This takes amazing hardware and degrades it to Windows laptop slop.

In the Jobs days, at least one VP head would roll for this, and Apple would be far better off for it. I don't think Tim Cook is strong enough for that though.

I just think that Apple should go down to biannual phone updates and major OS versions. I really don’t understand the urgency behind forcing this kind of velocity for such a mature system. It seems perpetually rushed.

I run these commands when I boot my M1 Pro Macbook. It greatly improved general usability:

#!/bin/bash launchctl setenv CHROME_HEADLESS 1 defaults write -g NSAutoFillHeuristicControllerEnabled -bool false

This removes drop shadows on Chromium / Electron, and removes an autofill overlay that people reported heavy battery use on. I took this from somewhere on the internet.
