Pretty much broke Safari Technology Preview which sucks as that's my main browser and now I have to reconfigure regular Safari. Meh.
Is that specific to the MBP 14 or 16, cause I’m not experiencing that on my m1 MBP 13
right..
"critic is forbidden. seeing and expressing reality is forbidden.
apple create 100% bug free software. macos has no flaws. each new feature is a huge success with zero drawback.
discussing problems, providing feedback, make users opinion known, all those are pointless and illogical, since apple is perfect. "
is that what you're trying to say ? needless to say i'm not agreeing with you or with such a mentality in any way.
Out of curiosity (and as a "basic" user), would this be related to USB external webcam not working anymore?
It's very touch and go : wether directly connected (with USB-A to USB-C adapter) to the Mac or through a USB-C dock (in my case a Plugable hub previously used on an Intel MBP on Big Sur) I get the camera named in the settings of either Teams or Skype etc but a black image or no camera at all, unless I start the computer with the camera already connected.
Huh?
You were talking about design changes you disagree with (I'm not a huge fan either). Now you're talking about bugs? What's your point?
Didn't mean to trigger you. You said "horrible," "mess" and "forbidding options." That's far from asking you to say "apple is perfect." "Horrible" usually means you really don't like something. Sorry if I misinterpreted.
PS Critic is not forbidden, but in your case, caffeine might be.
i've been talking about both increasing bugs and also the horrible new theme since bigsur.
you can check back the few posts i've made in this thread if you're not sure to understand what i was talking about.
the subject is: theme and bugs. it's simple.
the point is: to provide user feedback and raise concern, also in hope apple take notice and release less bugged software, that went through more beta testing and more quality control, also in hope they give us option to restore previous macos theme. you know.. the whole point about posting on forums.. and yes, i also use the feedback app to let apple know i find the general quality of their software has been degrading a lot over these last years.

Mac OS X wasn’t even a complete rewrite, it was a transfer of the Technologies from what was used in classic Mac OS to what Apple purchased from NEXT.
It was certainly necessary for the time, but it in no way was bug or problem free.
It also took a very long time
Apple bought NEXT in December 1996.
Apple announced the transfer from classic to NEXT (OS X) at WWDC1998.
Mac OS X 10.0
Mac OS X is Apple’s new operating system. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the “X” is pronounced “ten”, like the roman number, not “ex” like the letter. Don’t make me come over there.

It was such a mess that, just six months later, Apple issued 10.1 as a free upgrade to cheetah users, which was… slightly better but still a mess.
Mac OS X 10.1
The introduction of Mac OS X on March 24th, 2001 was the fulfillment of a promise made over a decade earlier—a promise to Mac users that they would get a brand new operating system, and that it would…

It wasn’t really until the fall of 2002 and the launch of 10.2 Jaguar that most OS 9 customers could finally switch over to OS X permanently, and even then, somewhere required to wait until panther in the fall of 2003 to be fully satisfied leaving OS 9 in the past.
So it took a huge purchase, three years of internal development, two years of beta testing, and three official public releases before most people could finally make that upgrade.
Not a walk in the park, and a huge hassle for several thousand customers.
Why on earth would Apple want to do that again when the current version of macOS Foundationally is fine. It’s modern, it’s 64 bit, it’s APFS compatible, it supports all of Apple‘s newer technologies like Swift and catalyst, and it’s already perfectly built for Apple Silicon.
Completely starting from scratch wouldn’t reduce the amount of bugs, if anything it would just introduce more, not to mention tons of missing features and software compatibility issues.
I think Apple has been fantastic, if anything ahead of the curve, at introducing newer technologies to macOS and deprecating old ones, some might even say way too soon for deprecation of older technologies. But they’re certainly doing much better than they were with classic Mac OS.
Completely starting from scratch wouldn’t help anything. Universal control wouldn’t have magically arrived on time if it was in a new rewritten macOS.
I was having trackpad sensitivity issues on my 14" M1 MacBook Pro before this release... seems to be resolved now.
Is anyone else using Safari Technology Preview 137 with MacOS 12.2 beta 2? I just installed it on my MBP16 with M1 Pro and find that I have to click twice on bookmarks in the Favorites bar to get Safari to load the page. When I click once, the progress bar just stalls out. After I click on the bookmark again, it immediately loads. Uggg.... Hopefully, 138 will come out soon and fix this!
The only browser I use in addition to the latest beta 2 Version 15.3 (17612.4.8.1.1) is Firefox 96.0. I doubt the preview 137 version was debugged for MacOS 12.2 beta 2 as it was released 23 days ago (12/20 vs 1/11).
Doh! You're not gonna believe me, but I combed thru pages 1-4 and the top of page 5 for an update on this and somehow I missed that one post.
There's absolutely no good reason to install major new releases of macOS anymore, until the last update has been released. I'm certainly never doing it again.
It seems clear so far that new music app is either not being deployed yet, or the new music app doesn't address the choppiness when scrolling large local libraries, even if the library itself is stored locally, on those high speed SSD that can reach GB/s read/write. Or, those SSD aren't that amazing in small file random access.
