Context: this is a legit screenshot I took on my workplace around 1.5 years ago. Hopefully it's been patched by now? Completely ridiculous behavior

Nothing to do with gaming. He's trying to refer to the bug with the screen refresh rate (not fps) when upgrading between 13.6 and 14 or something like that.
It affected MacBook Pro (not any other) machines which weren't set to the default promotion refresh rate.
I understand, and it's a bug, like the Mac OS is the only piece of software with a bug. Shouldn't be a reason to despise an OS.
I still don't see why you'd change the fps if not for gaming. Maybe I'm too old to notice any difference between 30 and 60 fps when scrolling through a website... IDK.
Even my 68 year old mother can tell the difference between 30 and 60hz while scrolling Facebook so I think maybe you have some other medical issues or you're just in denial.
Or maybe I don't care. I've never used a computer and thought "I need to change the fps".
