The last 3 web marketing startups are exclusively MacOS. I had to get all of them to let me use a PC as an exception because the mass majority of our web visitors use PCs and we are not able to QA correctly because everyone at the company uses a Mac.

I tried to use the MacOS. There seems like there is an intentional input lag. It's slight but it just feels slower. I have a Samsung Odyssey OLED 49 ultra wide and it restricts my fps to 120 when it's able to do 240hz.

It won't let me plug in 3 monitors. And even with just 2 connected, when I'm working on a secondary screen it blurs my clock on the primary screen. But wwwwwhhhhhhyyyyyyy.....?!?!?! What's the fucking point?!?! Why do people insist on using Mac's?!?! This OS is terrible.

Go into the mouse settings increase the tracking speed. It's the first thing I do on every Mac because otherwise it feels slow.

I've got three monitors on my Mac right now and none of the menu bars are blurred out. I don't know what you're doing wrong here.

It's not really the tracking speed but there is sort of a smoothing thing turned on. Just seems less crisp when moving the mouse around.

It won't let me plug in 2 external monitors. Just 1 extra one. Probably have an older Mac.

I have the exact same issue on my MacBook that doesn't happen when I'm using the trackpad. Using a secondhand magic mouse or a surface arc mouse and it's extremely delayed. I know the Microsoft mouse connects through Bluetooth, but wow is it bad.

The latency combined with the weird mouse smoothing and acceleration that you can't disable made me give up using a mouse and just locked me to using the trackpad

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Dude, that's exactly what I mean. I'm using a gen 2 mighty mouse and it was basically useless.

Maybe they need to be using a higher tier chip to support a monitor that big at that refresh rate? Like Apple treats it as two external monitors under the hood or something so they need to be on a Pro or Max chip?

I was told by IT that I need a Mac display to hit the 240fps.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Your IT department is wrong. You can get 240hz refresh rates with any monitor as long as you use an HDMI cable that supports it

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Hm.... Stuck at 120fps. The same cable into my PC is 240fps. Maybe Apple needs a better thunderbolt cable.

Is there a reason you're coding with 240fps

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I code in 240fps because I can afford it. But for some reason Apple prohibits it unless I buy their monitor.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm imagining like high speed FPS gameplay but with code

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Moving windows around feels like real life to me.

[–] Pieisawesome@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Why not?

His display is cabable of it, so why not use it to its full potential?

Additionally, he can see web animations better and make sure they are buttery smooth on different refresh rates.

You're 4 hours late to make this joke

[–] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They would have made it on time if they had a higher refresh rate.
