Apple Seeds Tenth Beta of macOS 13 Ventura to Developers

You do know Apple is onto version macOS 12, and this is a beta for macOS 13, right? OSX hasn't been in development for a long time now.
This time I'm surely waiting for a 13.1 even better 13.2 release.
If you can't figure out this issue as it sometimes happens, you can always create a ASR backup, then do a DFU restore which factory resets everything (wipe, clean OS install with correct system FW) from another Mac or with the help of staff at the Apple Store, and then use migration assistant to restore settings/applications/data to your M1 Max 16" MBP.
Definitely a possibility. Doing a wipe and starting over is tempting, and I've been thinking about doing just that for a while, but I keep thinking Apple will fix the problem. Maybe I won't be so lucky. I should see how it works restoring to a current backup and restoring to a backup taken before Safari went wonky. Good suggestions, btw!
Is metal3 only for gaming? Or will software that takes advantage of GPU also need to be tweaked?
Which part? Continuity is like the umbrella for a lot of features like copy-pasting, sidecar, universal control, document scanning from iphone etc. All of the ones I can think of work for me, in fact better than ever. But not sure if I use all parts so curious if there's some part I'm overlooking and it's not working.
Mac does not recognize the iPhone as continuity camera or mic. The phone does does not exist at all. These were working until Beta 8. Enabling, disabling on both devices does not change anything.
I accidentally found a workaround. Adding a usb camera to the Mac shows the phone as continuity camera and mic.

First, wth is a screen saver for these days? LED/LCDs are so quick to wake, isn't it more efficient to just put them to sleep?
Second, I will never switch away from Flurry.
sure, but what’s wrong with a little bit of fun?
Also, as someone who absolutely hates when the screen goes dark when downloading huge files or updating something, a screensaver is nice to know the computer is… Still on and working.
The Ventura beta 10 full installer is now available. It wasn't yesterday (although the ipsw file was).
There is also a Big Sur 11.7.1 RC2 build 20G912 up from the previous RC1 build 20G908.
The full installer for this is available - and so too is the full installer for Monterey 12.6.1 RC2 build 21G211.
It seems that apple wait for public beta releases before releasing full installers to developers, probably because they usually use the same one.

I did finally get Safari to finally slow up after a few hours on a 16 MB M1 iMac, but it was having two private windows (one with multiple tabbed URLs, one playing Viki), and one normal window with Netflix opened). It was running flawlessly up to the point it suddenly froze all the windows, did an empty cache and waited a few seconds and everything stared to be fluid again. So yeah its better now.
Using the full installer didn’t occur to me until I read your post. There are rare occasions when an incremental installer can cause issues like my Safari problem. Running the full installer might be a good first step when trying to figure that out before doing a reinstallation. Thanks for the idea.
Well, here's something interesting. I downloaded and installed the Safari Technology Preview and it runs flawlessly. Meanwhile I launch the regular beta version of Safari and it continues to choke badly on most websites with repeated errors. How odd. But now that I can run "Safari", well at least a version of it, I don't need to do a reinstall. Since the preview installs separately from the regular Safari, I can continue checking the various beta versions that will continue to pop up and see if my issue gets fixed. If it doesn't by the time Ventura releases officially to the public, then I'll do a reinstallation.
I'm typing this on the problematic machine right now in the Safari Technology Preview. I can't get this site to load at all on regular Safari.
Interesting, you might check the develop settings between the two, like did you change something in the past to the original Safari and when you updated it from Monterey to Ventura it maintained that settings that cause the issues?
My Safari went wonky in beta 7. I hadn’t made any changes at all to the system. One beta it worked fine and the next it didn’t. The only difference was installing beta 7. I also never have the Developer menu active since I’m not doing any web work at the moment and have no need to tweak any of those settings. Most of the settings are pretty much default, though I’ve been trying to turn things on and off to see if they fix my problems. I did activate the developer menu in order to wipe caches. That’s pretty much the only time I use it.
I figure if they don’t fix the problem by the time Ventura ships, I’ll back it up right after golden master and then wipe everything and restore from backup. If that fails to fix it, I’ll manually rebuild my system. That takes more time, but it’s not like I haven’t done it dozens of times before, so it’s not that big of a deal. The last time I rebuilt from scratch was when one of my crypto wallets was hacked and I had a few hundred dollars of ETH stolen. Not knowing when the system was compromised, I simply wiped everything and started over.
