After booting into Tahoe for the first time and spending a bit of time opening up apps, I had a feeling that my 16" MacBook Pro just got smaller, because things are bigger and less of my stuff can fit on the screen. What good is a larger screen if the UI keeps eating up all that space? On the Mac we have the mouse pointer. It's a precision pointing device. Things don't need to be sized to work with touch. We can deal with higher UI and information density – we got by for decades.

    @tuomas_h@mastodon.social Not the same issue, but my monitor keeps getting smaller, too, and I'm not thrilled with it. In my case, it's because I keep having to change the scaling for my worsening vision.

    @tuomas_h@mastodon.social between this and the performance it really feels like 10.0 again

    @tuomas_h@mastodon.social @jeffwatkins@mastodon.social they have a new 18” MacBook Pro coming that they expect you to upgrade to. It also has a transparent glass keyboard with the letters moulded into each cap in crystal quartz, to ensure that the letter printing doesn’t get in the way of the laptop’s design.
