macOS Ventura - Bug Fixes, Changes, and more!

[msackey]

I've already posted this on another thread, but here it goes.
Don't know if this is as Apple intended or a bug, but anyone noticed that the date formats are now limited to the ones Apple decides to allow us?
In previous versions of Mac OS, including Monterey, anyone could customize the date formats, including choosing separators for dates, like in short date formats. I used the forma DD.MM.YYYY, for example.
Now in Ventura, the only options for Portugal are DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD.
As fase as I know, this varies from country to country, and for Germany, the format I used is available.
Does this make any sense to you?

Yes, I understand what you're saying. And wow, this is a bad limitation! How do we customize the date and time formats to the way we exactly like it?

What's great is that you can then pin it to your dock so it'll always be available easy peasy.

Apple feedback is my favorite tool for those times that I want to scream at a wall, telling it to move.

well, I'm still waiting Apple fixes many bugs of Monterey, I guess I will wait until January to upgrade Ventura as usual..

One year seems to be a very short time to release a new OS, it would be great a pause and release a new "mountain Lion" no new features, just bug fixes improved performance on every Mac they are selling and minor upgrades.

I agree. I'd prefer a 3 or even a 5 year cycle to build up muscle memory for common tasks, before having re-learn the new commands/keystrokes to complete common tasks.

i like that apple keeps things moving forward; it makes life... interesting, challenging.

either way, one can always choose to update 'every 3 to 5 years', if that works best for you. nice that we have options...

So, I found one little thing in Ventura I am very disappointed about :

Up until Monterey, if I wanted to share a document via AirDrop all I had to do was right click on the file, point to "Share" and then a sub-menu with options, like AirDrop, would open.
Now on Ventura, there's no sub-menu opening, I have to click on "Share" and then a new window pops up with the exact same entries as before.

I find this new behaviour to share a document
way slower than the previous one.

One of these "what were they thinking?" changes for sure

Some of my internal and external hard discs are not showing up on the desktop. They mount, and I can see them in the Volumes folder, but there is no way to get them to show up on the desktop except by creating an alias. Other hard discs, both internal and external, are showing up. I am using a MacPro Desktop 2019 3.2 GHZ 16 core Xeon W

****I am on a NcMP 7,1 with ten SSDs mounted internally. All show up on the desktop. Now on Beta 13.1.

This button on iMessage does not work for me. It just flickers.

In fact, why does it keep showing attachments (links or even photos) that are not even showing up in the conversations anymore (I deleted them, yet it shows it here)

Like MacOS Monterey, V-sync in Open GL games is not working in MacOS Ventura. V-sync only caps at 120 FPS on my MacBook Air M2 even though the display is 60 Hz. Here are some photos. This is Minecraft.

I noticed a ram leak in macOS Ventura. First, the update frequency for how frequently the activity monitor data should be updated is always 1 second even though I already set it to 5 seconds, so I have to click on 5 seconds again to act normally on how I set it. Also, memory usage is way too much. The window server commonly uses 1 GB of ram even though I have every app closed.
