Upgrade to macOS 10.3.1 High Sierra? Some concerns...

[randomgeeza]

Don't upgrade! There is a massive bug and to be honest, I have to wonder if Apple does stuff like this on purpose.

These holes and back doors are built in intentionally according to a former NSA technical director and other credible whistleblowers.

Oddly enough, whilst you fixed your MM2 with some paper, mine started doing the disconnect every minute issue, even with paper. So have had to add foil into the mix to stop it from disconnecting. It worked. But, strange given the situation...

If it's not a bug then it's more likely a left over from development. It's not that uncommon for the developers to have quick access tools available during alpha and beta testing. Obviously this one was likely accidentally left in place. No... it's not acceptable but this is not the first time this type of issue has ever happened with new software and OS releases from major software companies. It usually is an embarrassing event when it's revealed. We just don't always find out about it since normally it is silently fixed in subsequent updates.

Oh boy! I feel ya. It was also quite the co-incidence that my mouse (MM1) started doing its funny business JUST as I was switching over to High Sierra. Despite the fact that the layer of paper fixed the issue, that issue wasn't present on Sierra, which I had been using the mouse with for several weeks.

Let us know how your aluminum work-around goes. I'm waiting to have to hold something down with scotch tape or a rope after another week passes...

I buy that. And something like that doesn't concern me that much, as it was swiftly fixed by Apple. Then again, over on iOS 11, several embarrassing issues have crept up as well. I'm still happy with my iPhone on 10.3.1, always hoping for an opportunity to jailbreak. I did put iOS 11 on my iPad and I'm not crazy about it. The new App Store is not as fluid as I'd like. Unlike macOS, there's no way to downgrade.

As it stands, and after a few weeks on High Sierra, I remain unsure as to whether I'll stay on it. My end goal is still to do a way overdue fresh install of macOS, and I'm still not sure if I'll go back to 10.12.6, or if I'll clean-install 10.13.1.

Decisions, decisions...
