Same, but for my macbook pro. Bluetooth implementation is borked and I can't even use a single device properly - I have to constantly unpair/pair my headphones. If I use 2 devices there is some stuttering in sound. But if I use 3 - all devices stutter, unless I kill some bluetooth daemon, then it works normaly for 2-5 seconds and goes into the bork mode again.
But then the software is awful too:
1. Switching between workspaces takes up to a full second before the new workspace becomes active even after disabling all animations
2. Some windows just randomly decide to not show the three control buttons and it becomes impossible to close them without messing with the process.
3. For simple screen recording I have to open Quicktime player. Then the screenshot tool becomes screen recording tool with no apparent way to return it back to the screenshot tool.
And these are just the ones I experienced this/last week. Don't get me started on mouse getting stuck in a secondary monitor or disappearing completely and other shitty UX experiences I've had being forced to work with macos for the past 2 years. Can't wait to move away and not look back.
- 0xdb 3y agoCan't comment on the Bluetooth issue, since Apple devices have the least BT issues for me by far. But for screen recording there's the cmd+shift+5 shortcut (or the Screenshot App) to do the same thing without opening Quicktime player.
- ashirviskas 3y agoIt is the only platform giving these bluetooth headaches and the reason my nice BT headset sat in the closet for almost a year. Regarding the screenshots, I've just learned these shortcuts, but if I open the screenshot tool using CMD + Spacebar + "screenshot", it often just defaults to screen recording and I see no option to switch that.
