    After upgrading macOS from 15.3 to 15.3.1 on my mac mini m2, kernel_task started using ~1gb RAM after daily routine mac usage. Apple adds more and more bugs with every update. For example since macOS 15 after several hours in screen saver mode WindowServer consumes 2-3 gb RAM. This bug is still...

    Delayed movement with trackpad

    It's like when I scroll, there is a huge delay and then it catches up. It used to happen after a period of time and I would restart my Mac and it would fix it but it's driving me crazy.

    Lag when switching spaces with ProMotion

    I noticed something that is slower on my 2021 M1 Max MBP than my 2013 MBP: switching spaces. Whether it's by 3/4 finger swipe or ctrl+arrow key, it takes about 2 seconds after initiating the switch for the new app to become "active" and let you scroll, start typing, etc. The first second is...

    Inconsistent tap behavior into inactive window

    I just noticed something really strange on my new (to me) 16" M1 Max MBP running MacOS Sequoia 15.2. When tapping into an inactive window with the trackpad, sometimes the tap actually does something in that window, and sometimes it just makes the window active. This only seems to happen when...
