I prefer a consistent design system because it makes continued development much easier.

I’ve almost finished transition to iCloud. No issues at all. I value my privacy more and more and with news google is going to train their LLMs on your content it was a no brainer for me.

Yes I believe it’s hardware. You wouldn’t see consistent issues like this ubiquitously. I could honestly be the RAM/memory as well because on my old Mac I use to get constant beach balls and it turned out HDD and 1 ram stick had issues.

I feel the most likely thing would be a bad battery. But if it’s not the battery then it gets expensive because intermittent issues are always the hardest to debug in hardware.

I prefer using the default mail app.
