Apple forums are also quite bad. Every suggestion is to reset SMC and thats it.
The Stack overflow / stack exchange websites are often the only ones where you get useful answers when having any sort of problems regarding the user facing part of the OS.
(And also for anything else to be honest. I think 30% of my questions on google are answered by stack exchange websites)
- mike_hearn 4y agoApple's dev forums are actually useful but only because of the mind-bending efforts of superhuman Quinn "The Eskimo!", who appears to have been at Apple since forever, is an actual programmer, gives real answers with meaty information and can even look things up in the source code for you. I've lost track of how often I've needed to learn something obscure about Apple's platforms and ended up at a thread where Quinn gives an answer. I've also filed a DTS incident in the past asking a seriously obscure question I wasn't even meant to ask (to do with their code signing system), and got a detailed and correct response back from Quinn+colleagues very quickly. It was by far the best support experience I ever had from a tech firm. Quinn, if you're out there reading this, I really hope Apple has a succession plan in place for when you take a well deserved retirement!
