The update to #macOS 14.5 "Sonoma" has been as unpleasant as expected.
After downloading many gigabytes, macOS got stuck for more than HALF AN HOUR, doing some undisclosed "Preparing".
This is just BS, I checked what happened, and a secret Apple tool named "UpdateBrainService" was slowly crunching away with a lousy 99% CPU. And that on one of the fastest Macs ever been built.
And now, the Mac is crippled by dozens of "mdworker_shared" processes, because for EVERY SINGLE macOS update, as small as it is, Spotlight needs to reindex ALL DATA, slowing down macOS for many more hours.
Tim, you should be ashamed, really.
And now the real fun begins, because in the next days, we need to find out what NEW bugs Apple has added to macOS 14.5.
