Quicky

I’ve not come across this but I’ll check it out. Is that App Store apps only?

I think probably 90% of the apps I’ve installed have been through the homebrew package manager which likely means they don’t do any phoning home, but I’ll check out the pre-installed stuff and see if I can replicate.

With respect to OP’s post, they say “you can’t even tell the computers we are on are 15x faster…”, and I reckon that quick resume etc, is an example of “you absolutely can tell that we now have extremely fast hardware” when compared to what came before, irrespective of the quality of the software.

I’m not disagreeing with you, I’m just picking apart the blanket “computers feel the same as they did a decade ago”. Some computers might feel the same, and a lot of software might be unoptimised, but there’s a good selection of examples where that’s not the case.

What apps out of interest? I’m a new Mac owner, so limited experience, but everything seems insanely quick so far. Even something like Xcode is a one-bounce on this M4 Air.

I guess the counter argument for games is load times have dramatically improved, though that’s less about software development than hardware improvements.

If we put consoles in the same bracket as computers, the literally instant quick-resume feature on an Xbox (for example) feels like sci-fi.

I feel like this is Windows specific. Linux is rapid on PCs and my MacBook is absurdly quick.
