One thing sorely missing in MacOS is a visual indicator for which pane is active (I don't mean textboxes). For example, using Mail.app in column view: if I click on a message in the list, then the contrast makes it obvious that I'm focused on the message, and if I use the arrow keys then I'll move to the previous or next message. But if I press tab, the focus goes into the message contents pane; I know I'm no longer focused on the message list, but I also can't be sure that I'm focused on the contents pane.
I'm halfway to building a NAS (acquiring parts second hand) and that means I'll be in a good position to use multiple computers as daily drivers in the near future. In practice that means I'll probably stick with Apple for portable computing and photo/audio work, but when this Mac Pro wears out I'll probably build a nice budget Linux desktop of some kind for everything else, with an emphasis on finding a case with proper dust filters since I'm getting quite tired of taking a leafblower to this Mac Pro every 2 months (not an exaggeration).
Loving my eink monitor, even if it is just 13", but over the last few months it's become really clear that MacOS simply isn't designed for this kind of thing by default. Turning on "Increase contrast" (which puts a border around buttons) and "Differentiate without color" in Accessibility -> Display really helps, but I'd rather have a brutalist CDE-like design where buttons actually look like, well, buttons.
The 14" M1 Macbook Pro is certainly impressive.
Now time to build a NAS so I can actually switch between the Mac Pro and MBP with relatively little friction.
@matigo Mine is far too warm. Easily 5ºC warmer than the other side of the window, even with it open.
@matigo I'd like to have a chance to wear a jacket this year. Hasn't gone below 13ºC really.
@variablepulserate It's strange, as well, given how little effort it is to get a nice photo. I just put things on my blanket (grey linen) and turn the lights up and it looks a lot better than most photos I see.

@variablepulserate Yeah, the weather sealing only works with L lenses though. As for video, I think I'm more a photo person, but maybe this could change my mind.
@matigo Mostly street candids. I just take the camera everywhere — it's a non-negotiable that I go for a walk every day (usually after lunch) anyway — and whatever happens happens.
After 8 years of Leica, the Canon R6 was an interesting investment. Quite enjoying it so far, though electronic viewfinders still have a very long way to go. Certainly the high-ISO performance is a massive improvement over the Leica M240 and that's turning out to be a game-changer even though I've only had the camera for 3 days.
