I tried that now but it seems to count allt the time elapsed on the day even when I don't use the computer.
Got a tip for us?

I'm having an issue where almost everything in the menu bar is missing, including the clock, regardless of whether the things are toggled on in settings. Is there any fix? Reinstall didn't work
Uninstall iStat Menus or any third party menubar app. Update Bartender if you run it.
I don't have any menu bar apps...
EDIT: I have some that *run* in the menu bar but they don't affect the behavior of the menu bar
I'm getting an apparently random "ding" sound as if a new Message had arrived, but there are no notifications, no new mail, or new text messages. Maxed out 24" iMac. Anyone else getting this?
I'm getting iMessage sound notifications a few minutes after the message has arrived, a badge has appeared, and I've read it (and even deleted it). So it's probably a ding to tell you about an email you've already long dealt with.
I really don't know how they can so completely disassociate the sound notification from the badge and both those from the actual event, but hey, it's been like this before ventura.
Sorry, I don't get what you're pointing out with the screenshot, could you elaborate?
There is apparently a bug or consequential change in the way that Ventura names external device nodes, as discovered by a developer for one of the apps I use. It is renaming "/dev/disk2" to "fat://disk2/KOBOeReader" (yes, it is a Kobo device). It is causing connectivity to the mounted device drive to fail within the app, even though it is fully accessible through the OS.
I just updated a 2017 i5 iMac running production Monterey to Ventura Beta and alphanumeric keyboard input 'isn't working'. The function keys work but the alphanumeric keys don't seem to work - don't even get a flashing text cursor in the login space. Have done PRAM reset, EMC reset, tried another wired keyboard, tried different USB-A ports and plugged into the USB-A ports of an external monitor, but the blinking cursor doesn't show up in the login entry and I cannot log in. If I remove the keyboard entirely and reboot I don't get any system warning about no keyboard being connected so can't switch over to Bluetooth keyboard. I am doing a Network Recovery Ventura Beta reinstall and hope it clears up after this.

Yes I am having the same. I get a ding when messages arrive and them some minutes later I get the ding again. Really confusing
Universal Control works fine on my MacBooks and iPads. Only occasionally on Ventura.
Finder columns do not show Get Into or preview when ending on a file.

Apple broke the Mighty Mouse. I still use it cause I despise Magic Mouse and 360˚ scrolling is way better than a typical mouse scroll wheel. Installed beta 1, opened mouse prefs, nothing. You can't set anything, you can't drop a .plist in from an older version, it's just screwed. Given defaults for that mouse are 1-button, no 360 scrolling, and side buttons do nothing, it makes it worse than an average mouse. I can understand not keeping the graphical part of it, but just killing off the ability to do settings is pretty bad regression. Have filed bug report. Didn't even get to trying Stage Manager, the inability to use my mouse was enough to get me mad and to boot back to 12.4.
"System Settings" in general seems pretty gash, I can't believe how many settings have been fully hidden behind search. I hope they can get this ready for primetime before Fall.

What all have you tried besides "drop in the .plist" to try and see, how to tweak it?
idk what else you want me to do. The prefs are no longer there in System Settings, I tried pulling in the preferences from 12.4; they didn’t work. Even if they had it would still be broken for the vast majority of users. Apple only stopped selling mice like this in 2017…
that mouse is from 2005-2009. perhaps no longer supported? anyway, perhaps someone else with a mighty mouse will report their experience here...
The wired one was discontinued in 2017, they just stopped calling it ‘Mighty Mouse’ in 2009

well, again, hopefully, others are using that mouse; when the public beta drops, a lot more people will show up here, so perhaps you'll get more reports...
It's been a while since I've had to mess around with .plists etc, but can't you drop it into the folder where it should be?
Yeah, I gave that a shot, logged out and logged in, got nothing :/
were they still there when you logged in? maybe they moved it or added it again to a different place?
