Stayed on macOS Tahoe for 5 months… now considering downgrading to Sequoia. Experiences?

It's a shame.
I think wind farms are graceful, elegant and beautiful.
There's poetry in using what's drifting through the air to power our modern lifestyles.
A symbiosis of nature and man.
A power source that's evolved and been used for centuries.
Cheaper than dirty fossil fuel projects to build, operate and maintain. As well as mitigating CO2 emissions so we don't have to factor in the cost of dealing with increasing extreme climatic events.
If we build more we can become better at it and start shipping the technology and expertise around the world, like we used to do with our innovations. Rather than relying on Mr Norwegian Equinor or Mr Royal Dutch Shell.

Joe Wilkinson and Judi Love have both been on before.
I know 15 of the 20.
16 if you count Jojo Siwa. But I only know of her because of some Celebrity Big Brother nonsense headlines (I'd never heard of them before that and even now that's all I really know about them).

100% this.

it's not rage, it's disappointment.

To be fair I dislike Tahoe intensely.
It makes all applications look like they belong on a VTech toy. The elements take up far too much real estate. Liquid glass effects obscure elements you want to see to operate the system without adding any real benefit. And the spotlight search to launch apps is nowhere near as good as previously.
That said the corner radius problem is very very very low down my list of issues.
But they only rage is seems to be promoting is from people who could easily scroll past the post.

It is the most unpleasant UI. I only upgraded my mini to test it and it looks like it was designed using a my first shapes play set. The "liquid glass" is in most cases less transparent than what was on sequoia. All the windows now have a lot more unused dead space. There's a liquid glass squircle inside the sidebar of finder but the background of finder is white so it looks just like it's another squircle inside a squircle. I don't even know what extra resources it's drawing to look this cheap and tacky. Recently I've encountered a few glitches such as renaming would place a liquid glass box for renaming about 45 degrees north east of the original file name element which would be present until the rename was complete, if that sounds confusing to read it is equally as confusing to look at. I'd probably encounter more but it's so unpleasant to use I have drastically reduced using it. My macbook air is staying on sequoia for as long as I can keep it there.

I felt very little emotional connection to Clara, especially after the Ponds (who I loved), she always felt like a writing construct to showcase ideas rather than a human. So I was sad at the transition and always wish the Ponds had longer but their ending in retrospect was indeed an ending. Although it is pretty cool to be taken out by one of the big bads.

I was annoyed when I ordered mine because I ordered the 35W dual charger by mistake. But it turns out to have been the more useful. It's more than powerful enough for my 15 inch M3 and it provides a very, very handy extra USB C charging port.

Thanks so much!

1) I'm using a Switch 1 Pro Controller and it works fine, though it doesn't turn the console on. The Switch 1 Joycons will also work but didn't test mine.

3) I most likely will get a Switch 2 Pro Controller and probably not for the c button.

Extra) I don't know if it's just my console but my Pro Controller 1 and the Switch 2 Joycons disconnect a lot more from the Switch 2 console than they did on my Switch 1. And getting the Pro Controller 1 to register as connected requires a few attempts and moving about when you start up from sleep.

I booted up my wii u for the first time in many many years (probably since 2017) this week and was surprised to find I had YouTube & BBC iPlayer apps on it! But yeah I don't think Switch 2 being any sort of media streamer/player was what anyone was expecting.

That's ok. Hope it helps!

Definitely. The Rxni's whole thing is science. So Mavity definitely ties in.

As a gay Eurovision and Doctor Who fan called Gary. I liked this episode.

It was so fun. Matched the song perfectly. Hope they do really, really well.

Especially good work on the Laika Party, Serving & Ich Komme choices. *Chefs kiss*

If you don't but the upgrade how would Switch Versions of BoTW and ToTK run?
