Mac OS 26 Is Utter Garbage and Apple Has truly lost its way....

Thanks for your reply. I did not have any of those problems with Sequoia. My mistake for upgrading.

Can always downgrade!

Thank god macOS isn't like iOS/iPadOS where you get "trapped" once you upgrade.

Last week I updated two of my macs from Sequoia to Tahoe 26.0.1. While everything went smoothly on my 16" M1 MBP, there was a strange thing happening on my M1 Mini: The language (and also the time format) on the boot lock screen changed from German to English, although English had never been on the list of languages in the Preferences pane ("Language & Region"). After logging in and out, the language on the lock screen changed to German, as intended. But after rebooting, it changed back to English.

In case anyone of you runs into a similar bug, maybe with another language, here is a fix:

• add "English" in the Preferences pane and move it to the top, to make it the primary language
• reboot
• login, open the Preferences pane again and move your language (e.g., "German") to the top, to make it the primary language
• reboot

got it. but since these aren't commonly-reported issues... something specific is happening for you. so, issues to be looked at, not universal system bugs.

there's nothing to lose (and perhaps much to gain) by starting a thread, and/or calling apple...

not what i said, at all. 🙄

a rant is a rant, no matter who's ranting 🤣. a discussion is generally more productive, don't you think?

read the thread title again; how does this engage a forum of thinking people? and if all you want is a thread where everyone rants in unison, why post on a forum where others might have a different take? why are some ppl so afraid of a different POV? 🤔

This is the only time I'm going to respond to you about this, because we've had this exact same discussion and you refuse to understand it despite it being explained to you multiple times in different ways.

No one is 'afraid' of other POVs, stop insinuating or implying negative traits about people that haven't been expressed or demonstrated.

I never said I want threads where everyone rants in unison. Again, stop implying things and using hyperbole to distort other people's words. You continuously do this and then wonder why you get hostile responses.

I don't care about the thread title. I simply ignore threads I don't care about.

Don't look. Don't see.

If you want to reduce these kinds of topics and this format of discussion, stop participating in it, bumping it, increasing the reply count, and let it die off normally. The only other reasons I could think of to participate in a topic you don't like is to; purposely derail it or to shut people down from participating in a way you don't like.

You clicked into a thread titled

...

That was a choice.

You don't have to see or read any of this, but you chose to.

I would have thought the sarcasm in my reply was rather obvious, so you're either unfamiliar with the concept, or you chose to ignore it.

It wasn't obvious, unfortunately.

I've been misunderstood in a similar way here before.

Always good to be safe with an /s tag



This really doesn't read as sarcastic to me 👇 🤷‍♂️

that was the only OSX i never used as i had the same aspect on ElCapitain sunday hole bridging that to High Sierra.
El Cap did everything needed that hour and was actually fun and suck to use on a MBA2010.

furthermore tomatoes are still expensive to hurl so perhaps starfruit or rocks might be tossed!

Now, now..starfruit is fine to throw as I could recover after the bruises, but throwing rocks would be worthy if i suggested, “Hey, I have an idea, let us all go to Windows instead..”. As a solution. Expensive tomatos are not even worthy of that suggestion. 😂

I have many qualms with the crowd over at HackerNews, but that aside, it's pretty amazing to see how much negative reaction there is to all these "26" OSes from Apple

It's clear that the next generation of useless engineers are completely taking over those that built the iPhone and OS X, and it's a sad day.

I have never thought I would say I would be installing garbage from Apple, but here it is. OS 26 Tahoa is truly garbage and an affront to what Jobs and Ives built.

You can see the carelessness and horrible work throughout. Non cohesive designs, BUGS EVERYWHERE, loss of caring of whats going on behind the hood, and chasing visual eye candy over function.

Its sad.

I cant even get my tabs to work correctly in safari and have to access the sidebar to access them correct (icons bugging out etc).

Apple really needs to sit down and fire half its team and spend a whole major version update just clearing the junk that has been built up and going back to building functional systems first, we have reached windows Vista level of garbage...

Yep, been saying this for a good decade now.. Spot on.
