It's good to hear from other persons who are affected by this, too. I (probably wrongly) assumed in favour of Apple that this is maybe technically difficult, but yes: Universal Control is awesome and works good, but also accepting my programmed Magic Mouse swipe up / swipe down gesture for Show Desktop / Mission Control on the secondary Mac would make it PERFECT.
Any changes to contents of the Sealed System Volume, introduced in Big Sur, create large overhead for even modest changes. But there are signs that they're gradually getting better at this.
Same 3.09GB for M1 pro but 2.7GB for intel i7 2020 iMac, again from 12.4. Agree, very curious.
Apple has this tendency to be anticlimactic with their release notes. 2 to 3 Gb for the update, and then the list shows a few unimportant items that few people were complaining about, while persistent bugs that pop across all the Mac forums are not mentioned at all 🤣
Not me. I use both but honestly I think Windows 11 and the latest Android OS are the better product. For business Especially. Got to be able to replace a worn out SSD. Can't do that with any M1 or M2 Mac.
A worn out SSD seriously? Didn't know SSDs ever show wear.
The File Sharing issue (remains off or on as it was before, and cannot be changed) caused by previous security update remains in macOS Catalina 10.15.7 (19H2026). This is really FRUSTRATING. Please, contact Apple to fix it:

Apple wouldn't get Sunday Ticket until NEXT season. So 2023.
Does Apple stagger update availability to reduce server load? I'm running 12.4, and this is what I see when I check for available updates in the App store.
EDIT: NVM, @Markgync2 explained it's not done through the App Store in Moneterey. [I recently switched from an older Mac using High Sierra, and the updates in that OS are done through the App Store.]

They do though. TRIM, garbage collection and whatever else does affect the SSD. Do enough writes and you'll see performance drop. That and some SSDs just flat out dying (has happened to me once to a Sandisk SSD drive).A worn out SSD seriously? Didn't know SSDs ever show wear.
Before I switched to Ventura betas, I found that Safari has greatly improved caching to best Chrome in Monterey. You can see the differences in this 12.4 beta post, and it didn't change with first few 12.5 betas.
whoa whoa now, temper your expectations sir
You don't get the update in the App Store. Hit the Apple in the top left of the screen, then About this Mac, then software update
Thanks--I recently switched from an older Mac using High Sierra, and the updates in that OS are done through the App Store.
