Comment by hypfer | original | The MacBook Pro's OLED PWM Problem: When a 'Better' Display Becomes Worse to Use
[−]hypfer · 2026-11-15 Sun 18:42 UTC · link
Given that my phone still suffers from burn-in even though the industry keeps alleging that it is "a solved problem" + given that people adore macs for them being usable for a decade or so, the choice of OLED for a laptop like that seems weird.

It's interesting but unsurprising that now _more_ technical issues creep in, given that the whole idea fundamentally was flawed. If given the necessary technical scrutiny, it would not have happened. Hence, that must've been disabled. Hence other such blatant oversights like this one became much more likely, given that any voice saying "dumb idea" was already pacified.

I of course have no idea how this actually went. I am just claiming that my headcanon is canon.
