    Siri sounds worse in macOS than on iOS

    I had posted a thread over in the iOS 10 forum about how Siri sounds more human like. I just installed macOS Sierra and Siri sounds awful! I wonder why they're using the old robotic Siri voice in macOS while on iOS10, she sounds so human like. Anybody else noticing this? Ask Siri to laugh on...

    Possible issue with Sophos Safeguard & Sierra install

    I am trying to install Sierra, but every time when I get to the step where the machine would restart and begin the install, right before it restarts, I see a modal window flash up on the screen.

    Cursor re-appears when notifications trigger in full-screen video

    I've noticed with the last few versions of Sierra beta (+ the GM) that the cursor will re-appear when a notification triggers whilst watching full-screen video... which can obviously be quite distracting. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

    How do you get a 'dark' notification centre in Sierra?

    When you turn on 'use dark menu bar and dock' in Sierra, notification centre no longer goes dark too. Is there a terminal tweak I can do to change it? Sierra is great, but that one nuance just sticks out.

    Performance / Benchmarks for 10.12 GM?

    Has anyone looked closely at performance of Sierra vs El Capitan and / or put together some benchmarks? I think many of us are very curious about how they compare and to see if Apple has continued to slim down the footprint.
