Weirdest issue... I think your date and time settings or language and region settings might be messed up because theres no way Apple would ship this even in a beta lol
Got a tip for us?

Has anyone noticed that the mouse feels much smoother? I’m seeing up to 250 Hz in a mouse rate poller. I thought it used to be much lower before.
It shows on the right-side bar on the main window, I've not tested it elsewhere.

Not sure if anyone else is having this issue but aftter I updated, my trackpad and bluetooth keyboard will not connect. I also ran into the issue that one of my hard drives would be read only. Anybody having issues like this?

Try turning them off an back on using the hardware button on the back. Happened to me yesterday with the trackpad and that fixed it.

I learnt last night that the new battery charging limit feature doesn't write anything to the non-volatile ram (NVRAM).
In other words, if you turn the laptop off / shut it down, it'll charge to 100%.

True, it's the first thing I tested... a little disappointing. Maybe they'll improve it later.
I'll send some feedback anyway, just in case 😉

Anyone else experiencing this. I have 2 monitors connected. Underneath them is my iPad which I used with universal control... so same keyboard and mouse, if I went to the bottom edge of the screen with mouse it would go to iPad.
But now iPad is displayed left from the two screens and I can't reorder it. Already tried turning off handoff and activating it again, but with no result

It was in the release notes / known issues. Don't run beta on systems that you need to be productive on. :-\
Absolutely right, but pretty please Apple, tell us where you're screwing things up from one version to the next.

I just updated a browser and after relaunching that fsck_hfs process crashed again. Maybe again caused by an auto-update function.
It seems that process is needed to add helpers to the login item list. I got two error messages later when I tried to check "launch at login" for two menu bar apps.
Why do those helpers need a HFS file system driver or whatever that process is?

isn't that what we're supposed to do, tell apple how these things are 'in the wild'? seems a lot of people sign on to run the betas, then melt down when they behave like betas...

If Claude is to be believed the version of fsck_hfs in the beta is an internal developer debugging version that calls on libraries not present outside the test environment. So it’s failing on our systems and taking out our drives. Hopefully the next version won’t be far away with a fix.

I have a problem. I just booted into a clean Sequoia installation that is just sitting there on another partition waiting for my never happened downgrade since months.
I started Disk Utility and ran first aid on all four "damaged" internal HFS+ partitions that only included bootable macOS installers. They were not damaged in Sequoia and I also was able to delete them all what didn't work in Tahoe.
Now these error messages after rebooting are finally gone:
Strangely they never appeared for the Ventura and Sequoia installers but they had the same issue.
So if someone has a problem with an (external) HFS+ drive. It is not really damaged. Only the recent Beta of 26.4 has a problem using it. It seems all "damaged" mostly external drives can be used normally again when this is hopefully fixed in Beta 2. @Bungaree.Chubbins
I wonder if I still get those fsck_hfs process crashes now that all my HFS+ partitions are gone.
My problem now is... I saw Sequoia again and it was soooooooo beautiful! 💖 🙈

Thanks, it's nice to have verification that the drive are likely still good. We just have to wait for the functioning version of fsck_hfs in the next beta.

But....
"Meanwhile, some people are just using their mac, getting work done, and having fun taking advantage of the progress, moving forward! That's just like.... your opinion.... man."

that is funny! 🤣
perhaps...reasonable progress is trying new things, moving forward, but knowing when something doesn't work, or needs to be modified, simplified. isn't this what apple is doing? moving ahead, but paying attention to how people respond in the 'outside' world? (isn't that the whole point of betas?)
not sure why people are so afraid of change, but good to see change that acknowledges when things don't, in fact, work 👍

For the Beta testers, something you might try if you're in mind:
Put the charging cap in 80%, plug the Mac in the charger, leave it consta-plugged in for at least a full day.
Then -again, at least a day later-, unplug from the charger so it's on battery and while unplugged, reboot immediately.
When it logs you back in, is your battery showing at 83..84% ?
* and if it does, do name your cycles?

Battery percentage is not that accurate, so after a reboot if it thinks it has an extra 3% than it did prior to the reboot, I'd just put that down as an allowed variance.
The fact it ignores that limit and charges up to 100% if plugged in while turned off, is more of an issue for me!
