The title might indeed be flamebait, but I can relate to parts of the rant:
- after 2 years, my LG Ultrafine 5K still won't turn on at least once a week. During the first year, it was even freezing the MBP (monitor is up to date).
- after 2 years using it, touch bar still feels like a miss, a toy gadget, now I need to carry an external keyboard (together with many dongles). And touch bar is still buggy, I have to switch apps to unlock it at least once a week. Not really "Pro" AFAIC.
- kernel_task runs at 50% CPU now and then for no reason (cannot reproduce, no logs)
- I need to reboot my MBP once a week for no reason (cannot reproduce, no logs), I don't care for the few minutes lost, it's just I can't debug it easily
- restriction on Safari Extensions requires to publish through App Store only, which killed uBlock Origin (at least for now)
- enos 7y agokernel_task is due to high temperature on the left thunderbolt ports caused by charging. Plug your charger into the right side instead and it'll go away in about 15 seconds. https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/363337/how-to-find-cause-of-high-kernel-task-cpu-usage/363933 https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/363337/how-to-find... Took me a long time to figure out too. I had the same frustration, that there is no way to debug the problem. A debug kernel is a PITA.
- McAtNite 7y agoAs someone running my 2015 MPB into the ground this sounds absolutely insane. I love MacOS, but this is on par with the “you’re holding it wrong” insanity. I really hope Apple gets their newer MBP straightened out before I have to buy a new laptop.
