Apple Releases macOS Sequoia 15.1 With Apple Intelligence

Surely almost any country can be called that right now?
United States of Unaffordable Housing and Street Robberies (USUHSR)?
United Arab Emirates of Unaffordable Housing and Street Robberies (UAEUHSR)?
Both work too?
Two things straight off the bat that are screwed up when 15.0 was perfectly fine.
- Windows App (formerly MS RDP): I use this to connect to my work laptop everyday, it worked perfectly every time. Now I get this every, single, time. I have to reboot the mac twice or thrice to get it working. There's no rhyme or logic in this if rebooting allows me to actually connect, when the target machine remains turned on the entire time.
- iPhone notifications on Mac are not working. It was also, working perfectly fine. Now they're not and only a couple of apps, not sure why only these ones, are shown in the apps list on macOS. the iPhone is also updated to 18.1. This is really bad because I use 2FA all the time and having it popup on my mac is essential for my workflow....Anyone else?

They aren't even trying anymore, they are literally just copying and pasting the iOS release notes. Didn't even get Apple Intelligence to re-write it for the Mac.
After the update, some websites are rejected by some company servers because of a proxy or firewall issue even though those sites are white-listed. It's super annoying.
Breaks some 3rd party firewall operation extensions (outgoing traffic I believe) and VPN apps at times. They have always been at the mercy of MacOS firewall changes that Apple implements as time goes on with security patches or new beta cycles.

Ooph... good to know.
I've only just started needing to use the Windows App (NFI why they call it that now, instead of Remote Desktop)
Question now is.. how do I track progress for a fix without upgrading just to find out
Aside from that.. given the AI features, this is the first time in a long time that I've hesitated on upgrading to a given MacOS release.. might be time to fire up a VM and find out
Your FaceTime and iMessages might not work afterwards. I clean-installed 15.0, FT or M wouldn't work even after 15.1 update and 15.1 clean install, so I had to go back, clean install 14.7.1, connect everything and then upgrade to 15.1.
I had an issue earlier this week with my 2018 MBP (Intel). Monday and Tuesday it kept giving me an error message. I read in some random forum that turning off "find my" helped but it didnt for me. I left it off then tried a few times on Wednesday night and finally installed.
Anyone want to chime in on the whole Unsigned apps not working after the 15.1 update?...I'm interested to know, if thats true I won't be updating my Intel Mac Mini and just use signed apps on the new M4 Mac Mini I have coming in on Friday....

IMHO because there is no restrictions against installing from web sites this is very much preventing Trojans that seem to be the most common malware observed with Mac usage.
Yea I saw his videos...I guess we'll have to see how far Apple takes this because if they implement permanent restrictions with no workarounds thats going to piss off a lot of power users.Useful perspective

You'd think that with their desktop OS they'd give it's users the ability to choose what/if/and/when/how they want to use their Macs, but since we live in a coddled world and they know that their base are a bunch of iPlebs it's no surprise that the "nannying" from iOS/iPadOS is spilling over onto MacOS.....It's pedantic and sad.
I am experiencing the same issue. I've tried switching between IP and DNS name, to no avail. I am not going as far as rebooting a bunch of times to get this to work, but it is definitely an inconvenience to me at work.
Hopefully this gets resolved sooner then later.
YA know all these super intelligent sites like MacRumors write all this unimportant stuff about new OS releases and all those useless new features and bla bla bla ... but then they COMPLETLY OVERLOOK to warn users that Apple is about to remove a key tool and replace it with more useless $#it. Apple Photos retouch tool is gone and their new AI Clean Up function is by no means any replacement for that tool. W-T-F Apple????? Apple just doesn't know what is useful and what is Pferdescheisse to save their lives. I should have moved on when Apple cut everyone down by just chucking Aperture way back. That was a nasty move and I should have seen the writing on the wall. Oh yeah, but look at all these fancy colors we have now for our iMAcs. cr@p!!!
