i don't think you're posting enough. 🤔
nope. i've said all i needed to say. hopefully, you feel the same...
Yesterday I deleted the plist hours ago and it is holding at 60hrtz. I wanted to get back to you after a long enough period to see if it holds. If anything changes, I'll post back again to you. Again, thank you.
Pre Intel days Mac Hardware and software had issues too.
Spice, the topic really was more about software and there were problems then, and certainly various hardware challenges but in 2022, an OS that has blatant issues where they should not exist is rather curious and certainly suspect when the remedies either come later or not at all.
the OS has issues, like all versions of OS X before it. why is this so hard to grasp?
There is nothing hard to grasp here. In fact, it is rather easy to grasp the notion that Apple put out an OS that can't handle (well) some things that one would consider items that should be a non-issue. Do you find that hard to grasp? You go ahead and take the last word as you seem to need it. I will stand by my* disappointment that sits in a forum thread about disappointment (and base it on the OS/M1) rather than the lackluster attempts to excuse the OS mishaps.
That's good to hear, let's hope it sticks! Thanks for letting us know.
I could be wrong, but if those preferences are in the user library, that’s why a new user account with fresh preferences is a good way to troubleshoot nagging issues.
Just as an aside, Of all the operating systems I have dealt with, the two that caused the least issue for me were DOS v 3 and 5 and my favourite OS - IBM OS/2. Apple using BSD as its starting point was a nice move and unsure if the direction it went didn't have a few paths that should have been rethought.
Your earlier point about more care bring taken in the past to ship software with as few bugs as possible is valid. Computer operating systems aside, I remember playing early Atari 1600 games on cartridge, and since there were no software download patches available, a show-stopping bug could kill a software title. The same was true with the Nintendo 64 fifteen years later, but this week I bought Nintendo Switch Sports with a pre-release software update required before I could launch the game.
Yes, things are certainly more complex and with that, the permutations with respect to errors and bugs do increase substantially. My take is a bit different and stems from how programming itself has changed over the years where truly clean code is a rare commodity. Lots of bloat out there and we see that with Windows from early on. BSD to OSX and moving forward was bound too, to have some bloat due to the nature of both original Unix-like design/behavior and Intel/AMD instruction sets. Perhaps one of the most difficult items is the notion of some sort of standards that really are universal which would help greatly but also hinder advancement. While I am not much for overly proprietary systems and software, it does have, of course, its advantages. After seeing your comment on Nintendo, I certainly had to smile and recall those days. Then again, I recall when forums like these only showed up on BBS systems.
Probably going off topic, but my first non-console games were BASIC programs printed in magazines that you would copy line by line, and then spend more time trying to find your mistakes than actually playing the game — or find out in a correction in the next edition a month later that there was a syntax error in line 50.
Conflict Catcher was our friend back then. Kinda miss the rows of icons at the bottom of the screen during start-up.
My current system boots in seconds. I don't miss the extension rows, though icons were nice.
Wow. I forgot about Conflict Catcher, but you just woke up some long slumbering memory cells...
why would it be sarcasm? am also running monterey (12.4), getting all my work (& play) done. and loving universal control (which has changed my interactions with my macs)...
It was kinda point of pride at my old job how many extensions you could load at startup without locking up your computer. I'm trying remember how many rows on my 24" Sony Trinitron I had going, think it was something like 2 and 1/2 or something like that. Between extensions and SCSI black magic making any changes required a lot of sacrifices to the computer gods.
