I have the displeasure of using Figma at my job. I have a very low opinion of anything that locks up my browser for multiple seconds (Chrome or Safari) whenever I open it in a tab.

Then it takes a few seconds to load the file, which I don’t care much about.

But locking my entire browser is inexcusable.

It’s nice they’re working on performance once you get going, but launch performance is abysmal for me (x86-64 Mac).

Requiring figma at a job should be a human rights violation :). I'm off the grid and whenever I use figma it drains my batteries with a high CPU load. I have to be careful to open it during the dead winter, if I leave it open I could drain my entire 5kw setup. If I throttle my CPU, it's totally unusable. Hopefully I can get a more efficent setup (currently an old 2400GE minipc). Usually I take a screen snapshot because this has happened.

When I read stuff like this I can never tell if it is someone making a joke or just extreme complaining.

The computer you mentioned comes with a 65 watt AC/DC converter which should last 77 hours minimum on a 5kw battery.

Then there is the nonsense about blaming a web page for not having enough power after choosing to do a tech job while living off a battery.

didn't want to hijack the thread about my personal setup, but that's almost about right amount of power usage I aim at entirely, about 120-200 watts per hour: but there are other things plugged in besides my desktop like ... my entire house. Lights, freezer, monitor, radio, DC adapters, starlink. Another 30-50w is just insane to run Figma. My freezer chest uses less and at least I can grab a steak.
