Apple

I don't know if I just need to resinstall macOS 15 or if its part of a larger issue. I've used my MBP since Ventura with really no issues. Compared to being on Windows its been very painless.

However since upgrading to Sequoia, my experience has been absolutely horrible. From applications loading then going non-responsive with an invisible window to Spotlight search absolutely shitting itself and locking up the laptop for minutes at a time, I've gone from enjoying my MBP to coming very very close to throwing Asahi on it and calling it a day.

Has anyone else had major issues with macOS 15?

Got the 621 and it kind of sucks. Constantly disconnects and slow charging. Wonder if this is just the product

I just saw Apple’s latest iOS settings hoover up personal data by including an automatically activated “learn from this app” under Apple Intelligence & Siri in settings. This includes banking apps.
🤮
I. Hate. AI.
It’s definitely helping destroy environment & privacy
Shame on @apple_enthusiast

This may be somewhat obvious advice but it makes a huge difference. If your iPhone says the battery is degraded (under 80% battery health) then take it to a repair center and replace the battery. Even if your phone says it’s at “Peak Performance” despite the battery health.

For context, my iPhone 13 mini (purchased at launch in 2021) was at 74% battery health and the battery menu said it was degraded and to seek service despite also saying “Peak Performance Capability”. I could tell because my phone would become hotter than the surface of the sun if I used it for more than 10 minutes. It would also become so slow if trying to use the internet as it struggled to load all the JavaScript and ads and such when loading websites.

I decided to get the battery replaced at the Apple Store (and they decided to replace the screen as well for no additional charge) for a total of $89 before tax. It runs like it is brand new and I could totally see me getting another 3 years out of it.

If anyone is considering buying a new device or just repairing their existing device, I can’t recommend replacing the battery enough. It really made an impact in my experience

Been using Mailbird for some time now. Pretty nice mail client tbh. Now its available for you Mac users 👍

I've been using 9to5mac but it has some decent amount of clickbait so I'm wondering if I should switch. What do you recommend?
