I don’t understand why Apple (and other big companies) with all the resources they’ve got, all these talented people and all this money, fail to provide reliable, safe and useful updates for their products. Is it that difficult to do proper quality checks and hear the feedback?
I can see a trend the last couple of years where updates/upgrades are going in the wrong direction...well at least Apple is not in the same situation as Microsoft with their updates and service packs ruining perfectly working systems.
- jmull 6y agoWell, zero bugs in something as complicated as an OS release is not going to happen. It is that difficult. Not really trying to excuse Apple — probably they should have caught this one and generally should have fewer bugs. But the idea that an OS update is going to go out with no bugs is just not going to happen.

Every change will have weird gremlins for some odd extension 0.0001% of users have set. It seems like an impossible task.
