Sigh.

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.

Really, #Apple, that is the best you can do?

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.

And another in 14.4.1 that never bothered to fix.

Is 17.4.1 really 17.4.1? Or what?

This one is laughable, but it shows the complete lack of quality control from Apple these days.

And yes, that one has been around at least for three years, we had reported it, but hey.

Frankly, the new "Wallpaper" "System Setting" in is the most confusing piece of horrible interface design I have ever seen.

And that is compared to the rest of the utterly confusing and ugly "System Settings" which is an entire textbook full of interface violations, inconsistencies, and how-not-to's in its own.

Sigh.

Oh dear , could you spare a few bucks to hire a human interface designer for once, maybe? Pretty please?

Thank you, #Apple, for NOT making MKMapFeatureAnnotation available in #macOS.

WTF?

What are they doing?
This is so frustrating...

Seriously, Tim, if you are not interested in macOS anymore, place it in a new separate company that may actually work on it, and fix the bugs...

#Apple has massive #problems yet again.

Cannot "notarize" my app, can't even login to their developer page.

What a nightmare.

Brilliant!

NSLocalizedString() no longer works in macOS 14 beta 3.

Folks, don't use these beta versions yet, wait until #Apple fixes at least the most glaring problems.

Sigh.

is the we all feared it would be.

After installing the release version, I now get this refreshing nice display in the ugly "System Settings".

I have no idea what that means, or what is causing this, of course.

It has been busy for 30 Minutes now, I guess it is time for lunch for me.

Nice job, !

Q: Could you advise whether to format a new external drive as APFS or Mac OS Extended?

Interesting question indeed.

What format would you use?

Die Flutkatastrophe in Süddeutschland forderte bereits die ersten Todesopfer. Um sich selbst ein Bild von der Lage vor Ort zu machen, ist Bundeskanzler Scholz gemeinsam mit Bundesinnenministerin Nancy Faeser in das Flutgebiet nach Reichertshofen gereist.
Der Kanzler dankte den Einsatzkräften und Freiwilligen vor Ort für ihren tagelangen Einsatz und versprach - auch mit den Möglichkeiten des Bundes - Unterstützung im Kampf gegen die Flut.

@Bundesregierung

Sehr geehrter Herr Bundeskanzler,
ich finde Ihren erneuten Besuch im Katastrophengebiet ekelhaft und zynisch.
Sie hätten die Möglichkeit, drastische Anpassungen zur Reduktion der klimaschädlichen CO2-Emissionen durchzuführen, statt dessen haben Sie das KSG aufgeweicht, und lassen etwa dem Verkehrsminister durchgehen, die dringend nötige und gut machbare Abgasverringerung zu realisieren.
Ihre Worte sind leer und wie Hohn in den Ohren der Betroffenen.
Schämen Sie sich!

I took this photo 1998 in Las Vegas, in the Hilton, for the Star Trek Experience.

When I set up my camera on the tripod, a bunch of bulky security guards came to me, and I was scared as hell!

But they just told me NOT to take any photos of their slot machines. Everything else was fine.

And then they asked me if I needed them to cordon off some space and the stairways, so I could take some photos with no people on them.

LOL

Those were the days!

Kleines Quizz: Wer hat diesen schönen Ausblick auf den Rhein in #Bonn?

#75

Wow, #Xcode 15.3 and #macOS 14.4.1 are such a weird dumpster fire of strange bugs and problems.

Merging the AppKit and UIKit low-level system frameworks is not going all too well, obviously.

That error message in Xcode is catastrophically ridiculous, really.

It indicates yet another serious bug in Apples own private frameworks.

Sigh.

And yes, File Sharing speed in #macOS 14 beta 3 is slower than a floppy drive again.

As every year.

I wonder why they simply can't leave the working code in place for once?

And I really hope they fix it until the first release this time, not like last year.

Sigh.

Using the plugins in , can now catalog text content from Pages, Apple Numbers, Apple Keynote, Microsoft , and Microsoft files.

That is pretty cool when you need to search your for a certain spreadsheet...

Gosh, "Sonoma" is such a dud, should have waited at least another 8 to 10 months before releasing it.

What a slow nightmare:

Stay away from macOS 14 as long as you can!

The #GPS View Direction editor in #NeoFinder 8.5 now shows a real map of the #GeoTag location, to make it easier for you to set up the correct view direction of the camera when the photo was taken.

Oh my, , the gift that keeps giving.

Not only has it more bugs than ever, its File Sharing is slow as molasses.

Oh come on, , how about some bugfixes and software improvements?

We don't want or such useless crap, we urgently need a snappy and stable operating system.

macOS 14 is neither. Really.

So, the most important new feature in , according to the Apple web site, is...

TADA!

"Stunning new screen savers".

RLY?

Wow. We have been waiting for that for so many years. Surely. Didn't you?

Where are the bugfixes, ?

Since when does AVPlayerView install its own context menu with weird and unwanted "sharing" commands, overriding the menu I have set myself?

Sigh. Is there documentation for that? I couldn't find anything...

In Kanada und auf Teneriffa brennen die Wälder, in Bayern und Slowenien gibt es Überschwemmungen, und was fordert die #IHK in #Bonn zur Lösung der Verkehrskatastrophe (die mit ihren extremen CO2 Emissionen zu dem Klimawandel beiträgt)?

Mehr Parkplätze!

JA! wirklich!

Toll, oder?

Die kognitive Dissonanz bei der #IHK ist kaum vorstellbar.

Auf Linkedin gibt es bemerkenswert sachliche Kommentare zu dieser lächerlichen populistischen Aktion:
