And the Apple Music playing music on "My Station" dies after playing a song or two still exists. I fee like this bug has been there since Big Sur.

Also, external display swapping bug still exists, iMessage on MacOS no longer recognizes that I am the family organizer when trying to approve ScreenTime requests....This release isn't any worse than the last, but Apple really needs a "bug-fix" release. A bunch of "just works" features aren't working.

I'm on WiFi on 1 gig/1 gig fiber. This has been happening for ~2 years. If you search for others, you will find dozens of posts to Reddit and Apple support. There is never a solution. I guess I will just have to continue to avoid stations that don't have a set playlist going forward. Here's to hoping MacOS 15 fixes the issue.

Wait, I haven't even tried Ventura yet...

Oof enjoy learning the new System Settings app. Not that System Preferences was much better lol

Yeah, I read a lot of angry posts about it (as well as controversial Stage Manager). Still, time to upgrade, I guess. Don't want to lag behind too much.

At least you don't have to use Stage Manager if u don't want to, unlike the reorganized System Settings

Just upgraded my M1 Air, loving the new animated wallpapers and lock screen.

My only pet peeve is that the offline phase of the upgrade took a whole 20 minutes - something which no other OS requires - yes, even for Windows, the offline phase of an upgrade is usually in single digits.

So this is something Apple definitely needs to improve upon.

I can imagine some scenarios where 20m feels like a long time, but it goes by really quickly if you’re doing something. I set mine to update then took a shower. I honestly expected it to take more than an hour, but the 20m flew by and the computer was ready to go before I was.

Sure, I mean it's not a big deal. But it felt a bit odd considering macOS and Apple Silicon usually flies in pretty much every other task, so the lengthy update just felt a bit out of place.

Facetime screen sharing is really great
