I've had to use a M2 pro for a month now. I expected dumb design choices. I did not expect the amount of bugs and incorrect implementations. MacOS feels like such a shitty operating system. Hardware is decent though.
I'm still on 12.x, works just fine for me. Got a nice M1 for work and a Dell running Ubuntu for home.
It's so bad, it feels like using an ipad. Notifications are buggy as hell and you can't even disable notification center with terminal like you could on x86 macs. I'm keeping an eye on Asahi linux but it seems a little too rough to be daily driveable yet.
Sort of unrelated but the apple support threads are all infuriating because they never answer the question. They embody the "it's not a bug" motto until it's clear there is a bug at which point they just say apple must be fixing it soon and to just keep your computer updated.
This. In the days of 10.7 it was surprising how well everything worked together, now its a buggy mess. But everything is in the cloud bro.
Apple Music is a great example, its still old iTunes but so much shit has been stuck to it over the years it sometimes fails to play music, not even mentioning handling cloud library well. Using it makes me think im on windows.
I don’t think there is much of that legacy code floating around. Apple has been pretty public about rewriting that client. 2 years ago they also killed the parts of the app that were basically web content. Browsing the catalog is now a fully native experience.
If you’re having playback issues, you may want to post something to one the Apple communities here. That not normal.
Oh I thought so as well, until I installed 10.8 on another computer to sync my ipod and started to clean up the library and buy on iTunes store whichever from my AM songs I wanted to have on the iPod.
Its the same software, but some parts are cut out and some are sawn haphazardly in. Remember how you could have changed the volume or EQ individually for each track? I wanted to use that option recently, and the UI is still there on the info pane, but it does absolutely nothing. The old tabular library view is still the same, and you can still browse iTunes Store in parallel to looking at the same stuff in Apple Music.
Weird, I had no idea that features was buried in there. I’m going to use that thing. That’s pretty cool.
I just played around with it and was able to reproduce the bug. If you get to Info via the meatball menu in the now playing panel, track specific audio controls are disabled. But if you get to the info panel via the meatball menus in playlists and album lists, it works fine.
My guess is that this feature probably isn’t getting a lot of regression testing because it’s probably not being hammered on by lots of folks. To reproduce this you need to be a power user going through a specific workflow.
Yeah, I reckon the same, but just the fact they keep dead UIs in the software shows what we can expect quality wise.
I agree, Apple’s quality has definitely slipped. I’m just saying that most of the code likely OG iTunes. They’ve been pretty public about throwing out old tech stacks and rearchitecting that app to support new hardware architectures, new frameworks, new service architectures, etc.
