Fish analogies are how trillion dollar decisions are made. Apparently.
So, I guess I made the right move in NOT "upgrading" to High Sierra.
There used to be a time when I couldn't WAIT to upgrade.
So now, both my Apple hardware AND software upgrades have come to a grinding halt.
I guess I need to find something other than Apple and the Mac to look forward to and be enthusiastic about, 'cause between this and the last 5 years or so of (disappointing) keynotes I'm ready to give up on them.

I have a BIG problem with Apple neglecting the Mac, but you're right in the sense that there is nothing we can do about it.
It sucks hard because there are no real alternatives to macOS out there. EVERYTHING is a step down, iOS included.
So we just stand here and watch Tim steer the Mac straight into that iceberg, while he climbs on his golden iOS lifeboat and leaves the Mac faithful to drown.

I’m glad i made a small partition for high sierra on my 2016 nTB
Leapt back to (Snow) Sierra and doing just great,
Too many oddities with high Sierra, I’m done for a while;

Use Google Docs. You’ll be able to import the work you’ve done in Word and it will save so much time. Damn, I’m good
I had a filesharing issue with HS before the security update:

How about the manager or executive responsible for putting an intern in charge of security and QA?
This is the nature of all modern software. It’s not an easy task, and will likely only get worse.
Not sure what variables were for you but - just did a clean install of High Sierra (from Sierra) and my boot time is faster than ever, under 10 seconds as well. Sort of spooked me, Sierra was slower than El cap for me.
Are you using an HDD or SSD? Did you upgrade or do a complete wipe and install, without restoring from backup?
Dude I’ve been a customer as long as you. Undoubtably Apple has changed. More like — Duh!
I mean in 1984 they measured worldwide customers in the hundreds of thousands. Today it’s over a billion.
An appliance company? Really ? Really ?
Gee that’s funny. Apples biggest growing segment is its services. And what are those services? Storage, content, apps, etc.
In 1984 they were selling printers and desktops. Today they sell phones, AirPods, watches, computers, and services. They are number 1 in wireless ear devices with their first try. They are number 1 in watches with their first try. They own the global smart phone profits. It’s computer sales just had its best quarter EVER. Their TV device to me is a thing that can still blow up.
The nature of CONTENT is what “matters” and how we consumers are gonna “consume” it. Your talking from a time that Adobe - in 1984 was a tight partner to Apple - was KING of content creation /- print, digital etc - they owned it. Today the kid next door can create and market compelling content. Apple like Google like Facebook like SAMESONG all realize they have NO CHOICE but to play in that space bc they and their direction is predicated on what direction people’s consumption of content goes in and whose gonna supply that content. Amazon and Netflix have given the major studios and old school content creators their as*’s handed to them. Apple my friend had no choice but to serve up its own content to remain a player of relevence in technology.
Jobs knew this - Hello iTunes, the iPod, then the iPhone. The sector of technology is now a LIFESTYLE product - hardly appropriate to label it an appliance.

High Sierra has been buggier than a bag of crickets from the moment it was released! gone are the days where I will install any new OS from Apple with out waiting 9 months for the very last update! I reverted back to Sierra a month ago and though its not perfect its far more stable than High Sierra.
Apple quality in the Mac department over all has been falling for a while! a serious revamp is needed before others like my self start looking at Windows or Linux as an alternative.
High Sierra APFS took down and wiped my entire 24TB SSD Raid array..... STILL F****** BITTER!

If Apple would only put the same level of care into their OS as they do into their exploitation of tax loopholes, the system would be totally bulletproof.
Ah yes, because Tim is sitting in a cubicle personally writing and maintaining code.
Apple this afternoon published a new support document that walks users through repairing their file sharing options on their Macs after installing the 2017-001 Security Update for macOS High Sierra 10.13.1, which was released this morning.
Shortly after the security fix was released and users began installing it, file sharing complaints began surfacing on the MacRumors forums. Affected users saw file sharing fail to authenticate across multiple Macs. From MacRumors reader joedec:According to the document, macOS High Sierra users who cannot access file sharing after installing the security update will need to complete the following steps:
1. Open the Terminal app, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
2. Type sudo /usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC and press Return.
3. Enter your administrator password and press Return.
4. Quit the Terminal app.
MacRumors readers who were having file sharing problems have tested Apple's fix and have confirmed that it does indeed work to solve the problem.
Apple issued this morning's security update to address a major vulnerability that enabled the root superuser on a Mac with a blank password and no security check.
The problem has been successfully fixed on machines running macOS High Sierra 10.13.1, the current release version of macOS High Sierra, but Apple has not yet addressed the vulnerability in macOS High Sierra 10.13.2, available to both developers and public beta testers.

Apple has pushed out a security update (2017-001) that addresses this issue.

They did.
It is.

Really?
REALLY?
If they "Gave zero craps about the Mac", they wouldn't have fixed the Root authentication issue in less than 24 hours, and they wouldn't have fixed this unintended consequence in less than 12 hours after that.
EVERYone has bugs. It's how you DEAL with them that counts.
If you wrote software for a living (like I do), you'd understand that.
[doublepost=1512036978][/doublepost]
Sounds like MS needs to release an Update to fix a Permissions error.
[doublepost=1512037091][/doublepost]
Yes they can.
And if you saw the relative numbers of vulnerabilities between the two OSes, you wouldn't say that.
It just that, with MS, vulnerabilities are so common-place, they don't generate news. But with Apple...
[doublepost=1512037237][/doublepost]
I guess you've never seen a Windows "patch" that had unintended consequences?
I write software for a living, and one of my sayings is "Fix a bug, make a bug".
Happens.
At least Apple got right on it in both cases. MS would still be issuing denials. like "Judge" Roy Moore.
[doublepost=1512037349][/doublepost]
So, would you rather that Apple had waited a month to do regression-testing on the Root authentication patch?
THEN what would your post have said?
