Had to reauthorize Lacie Raid and the mystery Apple Devices, Inc. extensions again after updating. I hate the new security changes.
 
There is now the option to show Weather in Menu Bar. It consists of a symbol for the current weather, like a cloud and the current temperature for the set/actual location. When you click on it, it shows the 5 hour weather and other locations from you Favorites to select, also with a symbol and current temperature. It's all uncolored. Go to System Settings/Control Center and then to the very bottom to activate it.

These instructions are either wrong or it's not part of 15.1.1.

This is the first update in many years to not pester me about iCloud before displaying the desktop.
 
Trying to make a USB installer and Terminal keeps giving me a 'failed to bless' error. Tried on two different Macs, and I've tried redownloading the installer again. No dice. Anyone else able to create a USB installer for 15.1.1 (build is 24B91)?

Is there a timeline for the (especially wired) network throughput fixes? All my delivered-with-sequoia Macs are basically reddit machines at this point since there's no point in installing anything on them since they have to talk to one or more of my NAS's.
