There are times when I think of the insane amount of money I paid for this Mac Studio M1 Ultra and I feel stupid, because as remarkable as this machine is, I don't know, for example, why the hell do I have to wait several seconds (not even the same amount of seconds every time) to even be able to start typing the password, because the $180 Apple keyboard that I bought, besides being grossly overpriced, can't connect to the Mac Studio as soon as it boots up.
And now there's another one. Recently I changed my password, but when I rebooted the machine, it would bounce. At first I thought the usual, I made a typo. So I deleted and typed it again very slowly and carefully, and still bounced.
Then I realized what the problem was. The keyboard layout was not in US English anymore, it was in Spanish. So that makes certain character not be in the same keys, and therefore the system gets the wrong password.
Because I use both normally, I assumed I had used the spanish layout before rebooting, or the night before. But since then, I made sure that every time I reboot or shut down, the layout is set to US English.
But every time I reboot, or boot up, the layout is back to Spanish. And I look at this insanely expensive Mac and I wonder why is it that this never happened to me even in the cheapest Windows PC, but it happens in this grossly expensive machine. But unlike the Apple keyboard, I don't consider it grossly overpriced. I just think that these kind of things shouldn't happen in a Mac, when a piece of junk Dell doesn't have things like these. Sure, they're garbage that last for a year or two, and are slow and noisy, but I never used a PC that would magically switch keyboard layouts each time it boots up.
Is there a solution to this?
