Or this awesome issue on any of the newer MacBook Pro laptops, if you plug or unplug any USB devices while the system is either going into or recovering from sleep mode (I.E. after you've closed the lid, but before you see the login screen again after opening it), it will randomly kernel panic. I spent almost a month trying to figure out why I would randomly get a kernel panic in the morning since my evening routine was to close the lid, disconnect my keyboard/mouse/monitor, and then in the morning do the exact opposite (plugin keyboard/mouse/monitor, open lid). Once I read about the issues with USB devices and sleep mode I changed my routine to first open the lid, wait for the login screen to show up then plugin all the USB devices. Since I made that change I haven't seen a single kernel panic.
- dixie_land 9y agoThank you so much! Now I know why half the time after a meeting when I connect my laptop again it'll simply hang then shutdown. (I didn't see the panic since it's clamshelled)
- Corrado 9y agoSince we're complaining about stupid stuff that's broken in macOS that shouldn't be, I'll add my Ethernet problem. Apparently, it's no longer supported to move between Thunderbolt Ethernet adapters without rebooting. I have 2 Thunderbolt Ethernet adapters, one at home and one at work, and if I move between them my wired Ethernet connection stops working. The hardware is working fine and it even shows up properly in System Report but the networking stack is completely brain dead. One "solution" is to unplug the adapter, turn off wired Ethernet, wait 30 seconds, plug the adapter back in, turn wired Ethernet back on. Or I can just reboot. This started happening in 10.12.x and I've filed a bug report for it with every release. Still no fix. WTF?!?
