So they can hawk subscriptions more easily
I experienced weird behavior, when I just updated to 14.5. I am describing it in a different thread.

Thank you for providing us with such an easy way to download the latest versions!
Those links are for the final version or the RC (despite being the same build)?
EDIT: I guess the IPSW is just for the M1, M2 and M3 macs…
EDIT2: I just downloaded the full installer and it is a .pkg file… Not the installer I usually use with the createinstallmedia command to make a bootable USB drive.

You can also check yourself without waiting for some dude to post the links.
You can run these in Terminal and build numbers and links will be revealed
Developers who know what they are doing can modify these codes to get betas too.

doneMonterey

echo $file | sed -e "s/Info.plist/InstallAssistant.pkg/g"
doneYes well the InstallAssistant.pkg's are the full installers as a package. Just install it and then you will find it in the Applications folder.
ipsw is for apple silicon macs
It is still all kinds of wrong and selfish for Apple to take the multi-platform app "Texture" and make it Apple only!
Why?
They paid for it.
Annoying yes, but that’s pretty much how Apple has always operated.
Logic Pro, iTunes, the original iPod software, Mac OS X, Apple Music, News, Weather, FinalCut… all started off as software by different companies, a lot of which was multiplatform, that Apple later purchased.
I'm guessing that it keeps everyone from complaining about it in App Store reviews.
I was going to ask if anyone actually uses the News app.
Why does the Mac come with touchID if you still need to enter your password after a software update?
I accidentally use it a fair number of times. I'm sure those who love Apple have a subscription to everything (Apple One?), don't you think?
There is a possibility of news going the route of mostly paid content access. A lot of magazines are paid access only already.
Faced with possibly paying for news, Google removes links to California news sites for some users
Google is removing California news websites from some users' search results. The move is widely seen as a protest over pending legislation requiring the search giant and other tech companies to pay news organizations for linking to their content.
For a long time newspapers/magazines have been dying because even their online sites get plagiarized of news related content, so the Apple News app might be a solution to that issue if it becomes worse.
Because macOS needs your password to unlock the Secure Enclave. Until the Secure Enclave is unlocked, there is no way to validate your fingerprints.
