Whenever a solid Apple bash comes up on HN, people just throw statements around to the effect of "Apple -- as an entire software and hardware conglomerate -- just doesn't 'care' any more," and that nothing in the entire freaking stack should ever exhibit a bug. It's almost like NO ONE around here actually works in SOFTWARE or HARDWARE. I guess no one else here has ever shipped an uncaught bug. I sure have.
From my experience, the number of the kinds of issues being discussed here is EXCEEDINGLY low for the number of moving parts involved. I know, I know. Someone's going to say that since they do the whole stack themselves, they should NEVER ship a bug. Well, good luck with that. I'll believe it's humanly possible when I see it.
And don't even start with how Linux or Windows is any better. I've been at this for 30 years. I know better.
- FireBeyond 5y agoDSC, hardly an uncommon technology, worked perfectly in Catalina. It was entirely non-functional in public beta 1 of Big Sur. Here we are at 11.3.1 and it is still absolutely, utterly broken. Legions of users of varying monitors, varying GPUs, can't access the full feature set of their equipment that they used to be able. There are Radar reports back to the betas. Instead we get things like making sure you can buy AppleCare+ from the About This Mac option. Or buy a Pro Display XDR, because it seems that that is all Apple cares about for external monitors.
