iPhone alarm clock suddenly stopped playing sounds this week (again), fortunately my wake up time is not critical.

After every major osx upgrade I feel that I need to restart macbook more and more often cause system suddenly hangs.

Yesterday I spotted that after each restart there is information that if system hangs on login screen for a while I should restart computer again ( well thanks for advice that I don’t have to wait till I die ).

Cursor randomly disappears after I connected microsoft usb mouse ( microsoft mouse eating cursor from apple windows ).

Why I use microsoft mouse you ask ? That’s the best thing microsoft made, it’s literally indestructible. I dropped and kicked that mouse hundred times, still works perfectly fine.

I think also somehow osx forced minor bug fix upgrade once without my permission so they’re slowly going the forgotten microsoft path that is always forcing updates you don’t want to install in this particular moment.
Because their engineers know better when and why I want to update.

Looks like Apple engineering is slowly degrading or QA care less about older hardware users.

I am not used to buy new shit when old works just fine, those shiny little things are my work tools not something I show around to impress people how cool I am.

That’s all disappointing but still better then windows experience cause didn’t reinstalled osx from scratch since almost 5 years and it’s working at the same speed like it was new ( not impressed linux users here but from my previous experience with windows “registry” that means something and this hardware already paid for itself).

    On my end after each major upgrade things got better except for this one, my mac is just slower, takes more time to re-open everything + every time I run my app from XCode the system shows that:
    Verifying ABC

    WTF is this, if each file gets written or changed will undergo verification, this makes macOS a huge Norton Anti virus that is there just to cripple the system ....

    @Nanos interesting I never had such problems or I just don’t remember about it.

    Five years without OS reinstall? No Win7 reinstall here over the last nine years, and shit's still fine and fast.

    @Fast-Nop yeah but in the meantime I updated OS two versions up without any problems.

    @vane Well that's something I would not even want with Win7 because it went downhills from there. Guess everything becomes crappier everywhere, even in Linuxland with Poettering's fuckups.
