Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of macOS Tahoe to Developers

Installed, but now there's no more external monitor output...

It makes sense, they are baking in all the new bugs that will ship with the final release, which is closer and closer now

I hate those big rounded window curves. Truly horrible., I want 90 degree angles on windows.

Spotlight and iPhone Mirroring seem to both be fixed so we are off to a better start.

So much wasted space.

Even windows 11 looks less crappy.

Yes! That, combined with safari not having a compact view anymore and with the UI being bigger like on a fisher price toy, we have big screens for nothing. If you compare safari on sequoia vs safari on Tahoe you can see that there is less content displayed on Tahoe.
They lost their mind.

And still no animated stock screen saver.... Not a complaint I just think It would look cool if the default blue wallpaper would be live like the rest

I just got back into Windows after 20yrs and the amount of bloat you have to remove now or create a custom iso that does it for you on install is insane. Pros and cons but for everyday stuff I’ll stick with macOS.

Beta 4 is still making my fan spin non-stop :-\

Guess I can wait for two weeks to see if its gets resolved in Beta 5.

Why do fans run in all beta versions? Yes, I know they are not stable, but what is the exact instability that is causing this, is it the kernel instability, or is it the fact that it is constantly collecting and forwarding data to Apple?

The rounded corners are beautiful and modern, as is the design of the Liquid Glass. If you don't agree, feel free to use Windows 10 with square corners.

I've installed and fortunately have not run into any issues. Really no issues since Beta 2. I will say that I am using Firefox as my main browser and not doing anything too intensive. M4 Mac Mini

What does it mean if every markdown file with the .md extension has suddenly disappeared from my iA Writer folder in iCloud Drive? I thought I was going crazy. Found a back up and dragged it back to iCloud Drive. Text files are there and folder structures are there but every markdown file is gone.
I installed the beta during my lunch break today and I noticed the behavior later this afternoon. Trying to drag the files to iCloud Drive from a Mac running Sequoia ends with the same result.

"modern" is entirely subjective. Why must I use another OS just because I think the new theme is terrible? Apple should productize their theming engine and let user decide. Then everybody wins.

In System Settings - Privacy & Security:

This is getting always turned on automatically when a beta version is installed or updated:

You can try if it helps when you turn it off.

Windows 11 LTSC is fine. I have a workstation and a laptop with it on next to me.

Has Finder had a facelift yet?

Hard disagree. On the the old version you posted the dock looks like something you would get today on a $6 MP3 player from China... The menu bar looks like the ones we had on our middle school Macs in the late 90s. The desktop icon looks like something from a no longer maintained Linux distro. Not only does each element look bad and extremely dated on their own, but combined as a whole they don't even match with each other, which gives a off bad modern Windows vibe where UI is patched together with different styles from different decades. I'll give the wall paper a pass. Ya'll got to let your nostalgia go. Apple rocking something like that today would be like these 30 year old moms and dads that go out in public with full emo attire and embarrass their kids. It's awkward and garish. My apologies for being blunt. It is charming. I would enjoy using a UI like that to browse old websites.. but it has no place in the modern world as a serious UI style. The main stream does not embrace tacky unless the tackiness is intentionally ironic.

The point I was making is that you can still modernize the OS, and still make it classy - the new os has lost its class and feels like a modern cartoon.
