So, that's the one more hardware surprise? Oh well. 

I really love Big Sur UX - but there's one bug that annoys the heck out of me - I cannot highlight text with SHIFT in iMessage and the screenshots sometimes fail to be attached when you drag it from he corner to the iMessage.

Crazy how far we’ve come. I still remember a time when changing resolution settings required a reboot. 

i remember a time when i could have multiple resolutions happening on the same monitor at the same time on different applications - sliding them up and down so you could see both and switching between apps in different resolutions instantly - all without changing any settings.

doubt many here even know what computer and OS i am talking about. However there were things it could do that even a 2020 mac still can’t.

The monitor does not change resolution for different windows - it is impossible.

In order to "change" for each window, it has to be set at the highest native resolution and scale accordingly. 

That's exactly what MacOS does with its Retina "default" display - the apps are literally scaled up to imitate the older resolution yet maintaining the highest native resolution. And in photoshop/lightroom, the menu elements seem to be the same resolution as the older one but the photos are at its highest resolution. 

Safari browser is the same - if it doesn't recognize "Retina" attribute in image, it will assume it's the standard monitor. If it sees the attribute then it will display its full resolution in its glory. 
   
I am sure MacOS already have that baked in but not allowing users to just pick resolution for each window. It just adds more steps for users when Apple is focused on making it as simple as possible. 

Apple has no legal basis. It's for cooking and nothing to do with Apple. 

It's also a great way to detect if you have apnea while sleeping.
