What leads you to believe that anything he mentioned is temporary?
Before anyone downvotes this guy, spend some time on the official Apple support forum.
I can't point at a bug that I've seen addressed in subsequent OS releases.
Seizure-inducing HDMI flickering from Night Shift. Finder Trash not supporting put-back _sometimes_. Printers becoming permanently "paused" sporadically, or worse, very consistently. Mouse lag/stuttering because you used "the wrong USB port." Apple photos libraries corrupting themselves with no recovery paths.
It would be strictly better to just not have the forum, then shouting sorrows into the void would feel more solitary.
Countless of issues are not being resolved. I stopped submitting detailed and reproducible bug reports a while ago.
I basically don’t care anymore. Timeline consistently pinkscreens my laptop.
I just don’t give a f anymore. I barely run any Apple software on my Mac.
The only reason I stop use it, is because I have not spent the energy into researching:
- performant + long battery laptop with a good build quality
- disk encryption + while on X attempts
- good trackpad
The rest, the os, the shortcuts, I can change or adapt.
I hit issues in MacOS on a monthly basis, and have been for years.
Not once have I hit an issue that wasn't documented and left unresolved on Apple's for over 3 years.
Some people believe the Republican rule is also temporary. It’s a difference in ahem, temperament I suppose.
The fine article made the same comparison.
