Apple Seeds Second macOS 13 Ventura Release Candidate to Developers

[Realityck]

Is it safe to install Ventura on an external SSD connected to a mac Studio? Will the included firmware update work?

The system FW gets updated anytime you install a newer MacOS version, internal or external SSD with loading OS not quite as fast. Is this because of some software that only runs on Monterey?

I don't take the risk to upgrade my internal SSD yet to Ventura. I will wait until 13.3 or 13.4. I run Affinity and Office 2021 and Parallels.

The fact that they needed to issue a second release candidate so soon gives me pause. Apple needs to revert to releasing these things when they deem ready and not on a strict schedule, especially since they're insistent on surprising everyone with the release date reveal less than a week prior to it!

Do you have any experience in software QA?

Is it me or RC1 was noticable faster?

Probably! Betas usually have quite a bit of debug code active. In a RC this code normally is disabled (as well as in Release versions).

I run those too.....on Ventura RC2. Working flawlessly.

The weather app based on dark sky is worth it. Its available for the new iOS, IPadOS and MacOS

Everything New in the iOS 16 Weather App

Apple in iOS 16 made some notable changes to the Weather app, adding new types of notifications and increasing the information you can see about...

I can check the weather on my phone, don't really need it on my desktop. The only thing I would be upgrading for is Passkeys if they ever catch on. Otherwise I think I'll wait till 13.2 or 13.3

Really should update the title of the article because the update is going to Developers and Public Beta users as well.

Am the only one who still has non-functioning notifications in Ventura? No sound, no banners, no alerts. I have to manually check Notification Center.

Hey, did this ever resolve for you? I'm having the same problem. Had it once before and tracked it to Duet and "Allow notifications when mirroring or sharing the display," but that's resolved and shouldn't be my problem now. Almost missed a meeting today because of it.

Never mind! Focus settings were the culprit: either Ventura or I had silenced everything in my Work focus. Gonna take a little work on my side to make that all make sense.
