After two weeks with a new macbook 1. Hardware is just so wonderfully good 2. The median ux decision for software is eldritch and unfathomable Is clicking hard to define a word really what anyone wants to do? Are you serious? What percentage of define-clicks are accidental? 99?
The install dialogue opens the little "drag my cute icon over to the folder" what in the fucking sam hell is that. why. double clicking ALSO does something. Whats the difference? who knows? I dont and theres also no way to find out when youre doing it. Just an arrow, mocking you
@Apple send your MacOS UX lead over here. I just want to talk.
Apple hardware team, you all literally deserve medals made of platinum. How the holy bejeezus do you get a computer this powerful absolutely cranking cpu and GPU to emit 0 detectable heat? It literally does not make sense. IT HAS NO VENTS. There is Actual Dark Magic Afoot
Weve already discussed that the product manager for "Apple Intelligence" needs to be severely, severely punished for their crimes. How much damage have you caused intentioned users trying to make it do something, anything useful, and then immediately killing themselves
Why is absolutely ever action a special Apple Brand Name and none of it defined anywhere? Why no affordances for new users? How does one do feature discovery? How do you parse the difference between mission control, app expose, quick peek, launchpad, notification center
did you know if you do spotlight search and type help, you get nothing. If you apple intelligence "help" it tells you not to kill yourself perhaps a user might want to be directed to help on how to use the device their interacting with. But again, they may be about to end it all
launchpad app search is a literal string match not even accounting for typos w zero fuzz. This is a solved problem. Its a fundamentally different search service from spotlight search for an to-me inexplicable reason
anyways Apple I am available for a very reasonable consulting fee if youd like to revolutionize the apple user experience with ground breaking new paradigms like "explain the UI" or "dont add insane features you can accidentally trigger with the most common user action"
