CMD+Space doesn't work to launch Spotlight. I've tried changing the shortcut to another combination (Opt + Space) - no response.
I've tried to enable Spotlight in the menu bar to start it from there - no response.
I've tried to unplug everything - no response.
Each step has been tried with restarts.
Alright, figured it out! If you re-enabled launchpad with the terminal command, it turns off spotlight and all the indexing. I don't know why.

The command to restore spotlight and disable launchpad is

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/SpotlightUI.plist SpotlightPlus -dict Enabled -bool true


Which I found here: https://www.bgr.com/tech/how-to-restore-the-launchpad-on-your-mac-in-macos-tahoe/

Note: Always verify any terminal commands you find online, regardless of source. Also, never directly copy and paste from a webpage because additional text you cannot see can be injected when you paste it in the terminal window, as BGR's website does. Paste it in a URL bar first to sanitize it.

now it would be nice if they would switch automatically depending on the time - or will a little automation do the job?

Funny that I didn't see them until you posted this and I clicked the "Show All..."
Yea I only noticed today too. I don’t know if it’s possible to do automation on them though - but someone better at making shortcuts might be able to figure it out
 
It should be possible to change wallpapers using a shortcut via the new Tahoe automations.

I've just tried, and it failed with an error. I've logged a Feedback, but I assume it's because the new ones are movie files.

I had an issue whereby my Calendar changes, made on MacOS, weren't synchronising over to iCloud (and hence my iPhone).

On doing a refresh, I got an error saying the password for iCloud was wrong. Weird. Anyhoo ... went into Settings / Apple Account and everything looked fine.

Doing the above was enough to kick Calendar syncing back into life.
Did it stick though?

I find if I toggle Calendar in iCloud settings (not in Calendar settings) that this fixes it, but it's temporary and recurs after an hour or so. Anyone else seeing this? If so I submitted FB19245192 and it would be great if you did the same so Apple addresses it.

No.

You need to do it regularly. Just opening System Settings is enough - no need to toggle anything. I logged a feedback as soon as I noticed the issue and it's flagged as "more than 10" and "potential fix identified", so I'm confident it'll get sorted.

Also on board now... just installed the PB. Right now this is the same like the DB, correct?

First impression: round windows... but design wise not such a terrible difference like some state. Not at all. Feels nice, I personally like the look.

1st time I disoverd this full screen mode in Music. Not sure it was there before? Probably yes. But definitly designed for a landscape screen! :p
