Ask HN: Has anyone had memory problems with their M1 Mac?

I bought an M1 MacBook Air last November and it has been just okay. It's a super fast machine, but occasionally I experience mouse lag / graphics tearing. The Apple store techs diagnosed this as a trackpad issue (and have replaced it twice). But, I think it's a memory issue, as it only happens when my device is swapping a lot of memory; it goes away when I turn swapping off.Has anyone else...

I live in Burlington (#2 on the list).

Yes, we spend a lot on food but most of it is really high quality and from within 100 miles. The most convenient grocery in Burlington is City Market Co-op, which has the largest sales volume of any single-store food co-op in the country. That's probably skewing the data.

I live in Vermont and I'm tentatively excited about this. Unfortunately, our municipal internet provider in Burlington, VT was financially a disaster [1].

The tax payers put up a bunch of money. Burlington Telecom was mismanaged into defaulting on its debts causing the city's bond rating to fall to nearly junk bond status. It was sold at a loss to a private company. [2]

Very disappointing considering how awesome Burlington Telecom is. I currently pay $35 for 1G symmetrical in my apartment building.

Hopefully if this statewide project goes through, they don't repeat those mistakes.
