The Existential Weight of Delayed Creaking

[diraneyya]

The current audio latency creates a profound disconnect between the physical and auditory experience that goes beyond mere technical inconvenience.

When one opens their laptop with the anticipation of that satisfying creak, the soul prepares for immediate auditory gratification. But alas! The current implementation delivers a second of lag that feels like eternity - a creak craving so great that it leads to an unbearable creaking inside the very soul of the user.

This is not merely a bug, but a philosophical crisis. We open our laptops expecting the immediate communion between hinges and audio, only to be met with the hollow silence of buffering. In that brief moment, we question everything: "Am I creaking? Is this real? Have I transcended the physical realm?"

The delayed creak is worse than no creak at all - it's a promise broken, a contract violated between human and hinge.

I propose we classify this as Priority 0: Soul-crushing.

No user should have to experience the existential dread of asynchronous door sounds.

Creakfully yours,

I hope Apple see this and fix the latency issues by incorporating it as a firmware feature.

Actually have a fix for it, but anons lighted up a perfectly fine fix: #4 🥲

Soul crushing delay indeed.
