They finally made Preview restore with tabs intact, instead of kicking every file into its own window. Hallelujah! Now if only Preview could also get the tab groups feature from Safari…
Got a tip for us?

Nope. Try battery, https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery, works for me, even with custom max charge set to 75% via command line tool. M1 Pro.

Every year I upgrade to the next macOS xx.1 and it seems that nothing really changes except the desktop background.
Just break my M1 MBP Pro by updating to Ventura 13.6.1. Black screen and every time hold on to Power Button, trying to go to option screen and went dark again.
@GeertGB not sure if you are on the MacAdmins Slack but if you are this is the thread
Basically Apple switched the data it writes to the AppleLocale key in your users' .GlobalPreferences domain.
I opened an Apple FB and it is "working as intended" Apple says, they say that no app should be getting the region from AppleLocale in .GlobalPreferences and instead use Swift/ObjC APIs.... well I guess Microsoft didn't get the memo!
So in your case if you are using English US for the language and Netherlands for the region, if you run this command:
Code:
defaults read .GlobalPreferences AppleLocaleYou'll likely get this as the result: en_US@rg=nlzzzz
If you were on Ventura or earlier, it'd be: en_NL
So for now, until MS fixes how they are getting regions, you can revert to the old format, run this in Terminal as the current user (not root):
Code:
defaults write .GlobalPreferences AppleLocale en_NLRelaunch Excel and it should realize where you are and give you proper date formatting and unit separators

I'm on Apple products so I don't have to learn how to do all this, haha.
The need for a firewall and a VPN has nothing to do with the type of machine you have but with how you use it. If you do any sort of online banking, it’s a real good idea.
Many thanks for your reply and clarification! I took the liberty to share "As per Apple FB it is "working as intended" Apple says, they say that no app should be getting the region from AppleLocale in .GlobalPreferences and instead use Swift/ObjC APIs.... well I guess Microsoft didn't get the memo!" with Microsoft.
As I don't have a Slack account, could you please share the contents of the MacAdmins Slack thread you're referring to? I am really interested in the detailed explanation. Thanks in advance!
@GeertGB That's really the gist of it: Apple changed the format of the data in the AppleLocale key and it directly correlates to Office apps falling back to United States as the country despite being in another region. Most visibly in Excel. I started that thread, so that's really the gist of it! It seems if you choose "English (UK)" (or somehow I got just just "English" in my language list, even though it's not a normal optoin?!) you'll get the classic AppleLocale of en_NL but if your language is "English (US)" then you'll get the funky en_US@rg=nlzzzz
So run this command and you should be good:
Code:
defaults write .GlobalPreferences AppleLocale en_NL
Anyone else lose their entire menu on secondary monitors?
(It's still there, but no text.)
RESOLVED: Additional reboot returned it.

My clock defaults to Sept 9. I have to set it manually. Apple as usual says it's a known issue but I don't believe them. Anyone else experiencing this?
Cinema4D r17 Mac Sonoma
Just a heads/up to early-adopters…
My interface is ruined :-(
I know it’s an old version of C4D but Im happy using it.
Was fine on Ventura.
Do you think this is fixable?

Mandatory Access Controls are difficult to get right. TCC is as close as anyone has ever got to implementing them correctly, however, they've put all their eggs in one basket by using layered profiles to try and make what should be a system-wide confinement into a per-user one.
For what it's worth, Microsoft has all but abandoned offering comparable security, and Linux distros abandoned default targeted MAC policies for desktop apps in favour of Flatpak now that Wayland has replaced Xorg. So it's not like Apple is doing worse than the competition here.
Apple lacks the mandate Microsoft has to keep APIs stable but also lacks the resources the Linux community has to make very necessary huge rewrites of the underlying operating system to catch up.
My pet peeves are:
- No proper built-in central package manager (e.g. winget or apt) to keep apps up to date
- Broken mullti-monitor support with apps not being able to span across screens
- Font rendering which is inferior on many non-Apple screens (especially 1440p ones)
- Broken secondary user support, meaning you can't run sandboxed apps as other users
- No per-application sound controls like Windows and Linux has had for many years
- App Sandboxing doesn't correctly take into account nested processes
- Absolutely abysmal memory management due to a lack of proper page combining
- Bundled advertising on News and Stocks apps regardless of paid subscriptions
- Gatekeeper not enforcing digital signatures on apps at launch properly every time
- No control over outbound firewalling per-app as part of the core system
IMHO, the problems are centered arounf their never ending quest to make my laptop look and feel like a cell phone.
Honesty, I am not interested in an iPhone, and not in iPad after buying one that never worked correctly and they were not interested in fixing it - I believe that they used different companies to build them, and allowed variations in the hardware, some supported better than others.
Each time I update my Macbook pro I end up having to spend hours trying to find out how to turn off/disable most of their new stuff which their marketing may like, but which actually sucks.

I like having my computer being able to do everything my phone does, instead of having to pick up my phone and using its small screen to do certain actions, like pick up phone calls, find 2FA codes, etc. Features like handing off Safari tabs from phone to computer are useful. Window restoration after reboot. Not everything has been great, but if you're going around and turning off new features instead of trying them, I'd suggest giving them a go.
