Just updated this morning, and for the first time both my Magic Keyboard/mouse disconnected from bluetooth randomly. I will continue to monitor, but hopefully this was a one-off.
Got a tip for us?

Sonoma beta seems more stable than Ventura at least from a thunderbolt storage standpoint.
"Open Link Behind Mail" in Mail still opens a window with the Safari page in front of Mail, although the app technically is still in Mail as the active/forward app.
Reported during last beta. Will update my report. Anyone else find/try this?

After installing DB6 yesterday I checked storage to see how much space macOS was taking up on my SSD. When looking at that, glanced at system data which was around 10GB. Larger than normal but nothing I was particularly concerned about, especially after installing the update. Today, I cleaned out some gif's, .mov files, png's, etc from Messages.... Did a restart and checked my storage again..... OVER 56GB OF SYSTEM DATA!!!!! WTF????? Anyone else notice this? 2022 M2 MacBook Air
Hark, noble friend! I bear tidings most fair. Apple, in this beta update, hath wrought wondrous change. I shall impart, that Safari, once prone to foulest deeds, no longer besmirches the desktop's pristine expanse. In days of yore, it fouled the scene, freezing as a winter's chill, when faced with tabs complex and numerous, where video played in abundance.
But lo and behold, these afflictions seem banished to the abyss! Safari, aye, it feels more spry, its stride rejuvenated, its grace now undeniable. A thousandfold more reliable it stands, when search requests are made, and webpages summoned from the digital ether. It no longer halts, as if struck by an unseen hand, for reasons unfathomable.
Thus, rejoice, for this update heralds a new era in browsing, where Safari, once fickle, now stands steadfast and true.

Indeed, that does appear to be quite excessive. However, it's not drastically different from what I've observed on my own MacBook Pro 14 with a 512GB capacity. I've noticed approximately 38GB of system data occupying my storage. It's worth noting that this system data encompasses cached information, contributing to a smoother overall user experience. Furthermore, this data's size is influenced by the available empty disk space, tending to shrink as the disk becomes fuller.
I had a drop of both (Magic Trackpad in my case) - then a "define your keyboard" dialog and then the trackpad reconnected. No problems since. So some sort of reinitiating it seems...
Also have not had the issue since first downloading the beta, so I agree that is probably it.
It's been a week and haven't had a single one of those apps go unresponsive on me yet. Definitely feels like that issue was resolved.
I seen the same with MacOS 14 beta 6, its been a pleasure using it since last week.
Thats good news. Im in!
2 weeks on betas at the moment by the looks of things?
Does MacOS go to weeklies like iOS does before the RC?
