I imagine 10 engineers that worked out antialiasing at Apple are handsomely compensated for their suffering.

I hook my mac to a cheap ultrawide. Will Apple give me 1k eur to get a new monitor with 4x pixel density so I can continue using my computer that I got from them only a few months ago or will my mac become obsolete? This is unworkable.

You sound very dramatic. You know, you could just not update the OS if it's that important to you.

As someone with a non-retina iMac I'm also affected, but I understand that non-retina displays are a niche category these days. Thinking about it, I guess the Macbook Air is the only computer Apple is selling that doesn't use a retina display.
