Will this bring captions to FaceTime and other spoken audio on Mac?
Cook said something about this recently and I’m quite looking forward to it.

I haven’t had any problems with these. Looks like possibly some issues with storage of user settings. If you’ve had your MacOS install for a long time, & SMC resets etc do nothing, suggest:
* make a full bootable disk backup via SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner (free trial) Not Time Machine
* boot into Internet Recovery (not System Recovery)
* wipe the boot drive in Disk Utity
* Let it install MacOS via internet download
* when it’s done & offers Migration Assistant, reconnect the backup drive, and let Migration Assistant do a full restore
This helped me sort out some subtle and niggling issues similar to yours that doing a reinstall in place from the recovery partition couldn’t fix.
Didn't help.
Had the same problem of 3 different macs, each one was formatted via disk utility, so I always started with a clean slate.
Wiping system, doesn't reset the system FW. If you got a external ASR backup, that Apple migration assistant can utilize, then you can go as far as DFU restore at the store.
* Failure of Thunderbolt to work reliably with USB 3 video on another port.
* Memory leaks for many applications running in Rosetta 2. DxO PhotoLab 5 and Photo Mechanic 6 climb north of 20GB occasionally.
* poor performance of many applications either as poor M1 conversions or via Rosetta 2. DxO PhotoLab 5 interface is much more responsive when editing photos on an iMac 5K 2020 i7 than on an M1 Max.
Those are just a few of the issues, which I have observed personally.
I understand, but those are more software issue than Apple Silicon's fault.
Sure there are issue on Macs, but that does not means it's a silicon problem.
This is software issues and also Rosetta is not something that we can count on. It’s just a elumater.
It doesn't matter if they are hardware or software issues, there's no way around them for the moment apart from:
1. not using the SD card slot (tested again, completely unreliable)
2. not using USB video at all (this is a big minus, as single connection to the laptop is very convenient)
3. quitting and restarting Intel apps (there's a few I cannot replace, as they are core apps for me and they are Intel only) regularly
What's good about Apple Silicon is that apart from the Studio they are more or less silent. Oh, and many are portable.
Otherwise an iMac 5K 2020 i7 with RX5500 8GB and $200 RAM to take it to 64 GB is much the better computer today and certainly a better value. My requirements include silent and portable so I'm dealing with the rest of the issues. But issues there are.
