If you have a mini-split, some of the remotes have a "follow me" feature, where it will go off the remote temperature instead of the indoor unit temperature (which is usually much higher since it's mounted close to the ceiling). Not sure if this applies to your situation. I found using the remote/follow me temperature worked better for me, since there are less fluctuations further away from the unit. But, you can't place it too far away or the IR on the remote doesn't work to report back the temp and control the indoor unit. It took some time to figure out, but now we leave it alone for the most part.

Don’t forget about the number of macOS users. A lazy search says ~100 million in 2017.
Apple talks a lot about their environmental impact, they spent like 10% of their last event talking about it. So I think it’s fair to criticize them being wasteful here.
