I hope they spend the entire week detailing all the bugs in macOS they intend to fix. It feel like the stability and overall qualirt has gotten real bad over the years.

This is what I get for using Apple products for many years. The qualirty of my brain has gotten worse.

I reported a bug too late in the dev cycle and it hasn’t been fixed since 2009.

I see this sentiment repeated a lot, but what kinds of stability and quality issues are you experiencing? It seems similar to “back in the day everything was good but now it’s bad”.

There are a lot of small issues with the integrated apps, the most recent one being the search in Apple Music failing if I type in more than one word. Another issue I’ve experienced that if I plug my USB sound card in I will have to restart any app that is capable of audio playback or they will play the audio too slowly. This bug wasn’t there before 14.6 so I don’t think it’s an issue with my hardware.
In all fairness I’ve had some other bugs that have subseqently been fixed, but it has sometimes taken years and it’s frustrating when the whole mantra used to be “it just works”. Then again, maybe it never “just worked” and I’ve just forgotten about how buggy and bad it was in the past.

They should slow down the major releases. No one is buying a Mac for new OS features. They are buying Macs for the processor, name brand, ease of use, compatibility, and/or they need it to develope software for Apple products.
I don’t know of anyone talking about how the new widget system works with the desktop and the quick sidebar now. Or how they have new video backgrounds. Or how they made thr login screen icons smaller for no reason.

I’ve stopped keeping up to date with major releases because I don’t really use any of the new features and it usually breaks my environment so I have to spend an hour getting things to work again.

This happened to me a few times. It forced me to stop updating until the software I need required it.
