This is especially true right now, when the enormous gulf between the wealthy and poor is the worst we've seen in living memory.

People are struggling to pay their rent, and yet Apple is over here selling this bullshit to people.

I see DND is older than most people think!

Have you looked? I mean, that question is rhetorical... No, you haven't.

You should check out the competition. Samsung makes some great devices, razer makes some great devices. Even Google makes solid competition, though I prefer others over them.

They notoriously sell older components and technologies in their brand new computers.

I have one I got for free that was made in 2020. It's a MacBook Air. It has 8gb of RAM... I don't even know how they found RAM chips that small in 2020. It freezes every day when all I'm doing is running a web browser. This computer was $1,000 at the time it launched.

Apple also holds over 95,500 patents. I will never get why some people defend this crazy company. They make underperforming computers and sell them for wayyy over their value.

I mean, spellcheck does that more often than not.

My galaxy watch I bought many years ago has this same feature, is cheaper, and looks amazing. I got the "classic" model with the turning frame. It's an outstanding watch even to this day. No lag, great battery, and very bright even in sunlight.

I don't remember it being slow, but I think that's just because the slow pace was part of the intention behind the show. Offices are slow, horrible places to work when we're talking about corporate environments. So it added to the horror that they made many in-office experiences drag out, and it hit really hard as a result.

So yeah, I agree, but also... I loved/hated it (mostly loved it).

This is the source I used to originally validate my position: https://caniuse.com/jpegxl

Let me know if it's incorrect, I'd be very interested to learn of new options for the web space as a developer. This said, I googled Firefox and it came back with only "experimental support" for what I think may be an alpha release (version number ends in "a").

I never claimed Linux and Mac were exactly the same. They are both kernals of UNIX. Though they differ, they use the same "core".

lol, I can totally see this on an Apple Billboard.

Only Apple supports this. Like, literally just Apple. I hate Chrome, and even Chrome doesn't support this. Firefox? Yeah, zero support.

So for these reasons it's 100% not viable right now. If you get the support, I'll consider it for my websites, and tell my colleagues about it, though.
