    Four years ago, I bought a 15-inch MacBook Pro, new in box, with AppleCare+ on eBay. It worked fine until the crap keyboard gave out, so I sent it in for warranty repair. When I got it back, setup wouldn’t let me get past a “remote management” screen by Rapid7. After an hour on the phone with...

    Music App in Monterey is horrible.

    MacOS Music app isn't the best app, ain't it. For example navigating playlists and sorting between tabs (Album, BPM, Genre etc.) is terrible. Searches do not show the correct results, importing tracks always skip a song or three. Very annoying. A large ALAC library, (almost) never caused any...
