...a potential fix, possibly replaced by other issues. One thing's fixed, another breaks.
Ah, beta season.
This time of the year has a lot shaking their heads with some obvious bugs. Like MacOS 13.5 public losing its location services against apps. The system settings actually disappeared. Then there is the battery optimization that messed up 140 watt charging of M1 Max MBP 16” models. Is this because some went on vacation? Yes beta 6 please sooner then later, and a patch for 13.5.
No sure it’s to do with vacations, or ever the weather… 😆😂
If it was the choice between getting a serious vulnerability fixed, which meant temporarily switching off a service that was the source… this stuff can be so time sensitive and not always easy to deliver a win win. We have to take the rough with the smooth. And it’s free software don’t forget.
I wish more transparency was given to the user though, so we could understand Apple better through things like this.

If we look at the location services its was fine until the MacOS 13.5 public, and 14 betas its been fine. So vacations or weather doesn't obscure finger pointing very well.
I love to recommend 14 beta, but it's at the point of this gets fixed, and then what wasn't broken is, so hurry up and release a DB6. If someone want to be funny and say oh just please release iOS 17 way before the other OS's I wouldn't be shocked. 🤣
A Beta 6 release on Monday would be a nice way to start the week...
Would be nice.
But I’ve got a sneaky suspicion it will be Wednesdays.
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the 16s weekly’s fall on Wednesdays ? Even if that’s anything to go on.
They could also keep to Tuesdays for DB and Wednesdays for PB, as the last week. At some point they should also start releasing PB on the same day, a few hours after DB. 🖐️

Good morning & Happy Monday!
Looks like most of you are excited about being on a weekly beta as I am. I have a feeling the new beta is being dropped this upcoming Tuesday!!! Let's get it. ✔️

It’s where several of us found that shutting down 16” M1 Max MBP only reboots with 140 watt MagSafe 3 charger connected with DB5 installed.
I hope they surprise us and release beta 6 today in next 20 mins

So he didn’t really confirm it then, did he?

He didn't. I added the word, 'Unknowingly". Sounds much better now? Thank you!

I think it’s more likely tomorrow than Wednesday. But I also know nothing!
I can say it was not you. That's for sure!
