> One important thing to know if you're considering buying a Mac Studio is that, like the Windows Executive, XNU does a really good job keeping your desktop stable, and that means protecting your system from you. It takes me 45 seconds on Mac Studio to compile the Cosmo monorepo, due to all these safety features; but if I fork bombed it, I'd be surprised if Netflix skipped a single frame.

Clearly nobody actually tried this, because on XNU if you fork bomb the system it reliably goes down every single time. There are no "safety features" here but extra overhead when spawning processes.
