Apple Seeds Fourth macOS Sierra 10.12.2 Beta to Developers [Updated]

What turd MacOS Sierra is. After spending all that effort to clean up the bugs in Mavericks & Yosemite with El Capitan, they release a fresh stinking pile of buggy software full of emojis.
Wish I never upgraded. The 3 positive benefits of MacOS Sierra is their space-reducing feature, ApplePay, and App Tabs, and none of these are dramatic user experience improvements. Other than that, 3rd party software suffices for any of their new 'features'.
I still can't plug in my HDMI monitor without the Fan buzzing like a Category 5 hurricane (mid2102 MBP 15" Retina) .
Stick with El Capitan if you haven't upgraded.

Siri? - Used once just to see how it worked.
Universal Copy-Paste? - I have 2 apps that can do that
Unlock via TouchID? - I have an app for that and I don't have to buy a new MacBook to do it
Desktop & Documents folder on all devices? - Even more fragmentation? No thanks. As if the iCloud environment isn't already confusing enough.
ApplePay? - Neat, haven't used it yet
Photos? - More bloated mac apps? No thanks
Emojis? - Everything thats wrong with the world today
iTunes? - The worst app on Mac becomes even worse
Tabs? - Neat, haven't used it yet

"but the 10.12.2 update also likely includes many bug fixes and performance enhancements to address issues that have surfaced since the release of macOS Sierra 10.12.1."
I see this often with MR build announcements. Is there really nobody available to do a diff -Bbrw /old /new, or to run strings on the delta?

I wouldn't recommend to update even now, keeping in mind, there are no exciting features in Sierra. Performance is okay-ish on 10.12.2, but still worse than on El Capitan. All animations still have some sort of stutter (on the current top-end iMac with i7 and SSD).

Whist apple want to focus on useless stuff like emojis can we PLEASE bring back the grouch trash can?
It was available in mac os 7 but unavailable since then.
Here are some youtube videos of it in action:
and
I think it is very cool.
So uncool to remove it.
It would be cool to bring it back.

Dear God, what a cluster**** Apple is these days. Tim and his buffoon buddies have six months to release something that equates to a decent desktop computer, or then my $many thousands go to a PC manufacturer. Emojis... I mean what the actual ****? So glad I stuck with El Capitan.
And I agree with one of the posters above. Tim Cook really has to go.

Download has got to the last few meg and gone straight back to the Update button 4 times for me now.
Hey Apple, instead of spending all of your time on emojis, how about patching up the maddening problem with spammers on Apple Calendar invites?
Apple has lost its focus and is really in a downward spiral.

I'm waiting for the 10.x.3 or 10.x.4 release - as I have for the last four major OS X updates
Tim Cook: "Chatting by only using Emoji is the new AOL way of using Anagrams."
So instead of adding anything new to the OS he feels Emojis is what everyone is paying to see on a Mac OS.

Both my 2012 MacMini and 2012 MacbookPro had firmware Updates, it's been a while since the last Firmware Update these had.
There is a firmware update for my 2012 MBA as well, it's been quite a while since the last one.
Lets not get too emotional about Emojis. It's the MacRumors's website that seems to focus on the small peripheral changes. Many other corrections and changes are included. The fact is that OSSierra 10.2 has been a very stable platform. The alternative is Microsoft Windows.
Hopefully they will fix the email bug where all mail is invisible unless it's unread.
I tried rebuilding indexes and creating new accounts and making sure there are no bad mail plugins but it keeps doing it.
So I created a mailbox wizzard that shows all mail and then it selects all and sets to unread.
Also I've had some really hard crashes with my mini ssd 256. I've left it on for a while and I find the swirrely going around and it's dead.
