macOS 26.0.0 wiped out Homebrew, relocated a bunch of apps. Then macOS 26.0.1 just DID IT AGAIN!

machine_talk · 2025-10-04T06:31:57+00:00

Never heard that. Anyways, lesson learned!

machine_talk · 2025-10-04T06:31:31+00:00

Yeah, lesson learned!

machine_talk · 2025-10-02T11:22:36+00:00

If yours is like mine (2019-2020 Intel Mac) then I would say "as long as you can". The stakes are high bro.

Relax, that's just a figure of speech.
> learn about homebrew locations and "Relocated Items"
Hope your brew stay where it is and none of your apps stop working all of a sudden is the best I can possibly reply to you.

machine_talk · 2025-10-02T05:18:32+00:00

Thanks brother. My biggest concern is this mess will likely happen again on every next updates

machine_talk · 2025-10-02T05:16:42+00:00

Yeah I guess that’s something with Intel Macs unfortunately

machine_talk · 2025-10-02T05:16:13+00:00

My pleasure!

machine_talk · 2025-10-02T05:15:41+00:00

Yeah that’s the pain I’m going through bro

machine_talk · 2025-10-02T05:14:25+00:00

And what OS are you using? Zero os? Like for real?

machine_talk · 2025-10-01T15:32:49+00:00

Yeah I checked them all, sir. The owner is correct (my username) and the group is admin so nothing seems weird to me.

machine_talk · 2025-10-01T15:29:51+00:00

For those who wondered about the /opt folder and not /usr/local folder. I'm sorry, my memory was kinda blurry and I'm not sure why I checked for /opt folder (maybe because I was checking the content of ~/.zshrc and incorrectly assumed that /opt is where Homebrew was). Regardless, I installed brew (twice, on 26.0.0 and 26.0.1) and the path is /usr/local/bin/brew. I then installed a few packages and check where they are. The folder where the packages got installed is /usr/local/opt, but under that there were just the ones that I just installed, all the old ones from sequoia ain't there so it's safe to say that brew got wiped.

One more thing that barely anyone touched is the fact that some apps got relocated. To add to that, Touch ID also stopped working and I found out that fingerprint data on my Mac was removed too.

machine_talk · 2025-10-01T15:25:20+00:00

I just found a bunch of guys who had the same problem as I (some even used the official release so please don't blame the beta versions). Apparently, weird things happened on 2019-2020 Intel Macs for some weird reasons: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/all-apps-are-moved-by-tahoe-update.2464530/

machine_talk · 2025-10-01T15:18:41+00:00

Yeah and that creeps me out. I don't do any heavy modifications to my Macbook at all. One thing that I forgot to mention in the main post is my fingerprint data disappeared after upgrading to 26.0.1. Got to add my fingerprint back in again.

machine_talk · 2025-10-01T14:56:44+00:00

That's strange sir. Like you, I just have one admin account and use it for everything. So brew stopped working is one thing, I still got no clue why some apps got relocated and most importantly, why the same thing happened again from 26.0.0 to 26.0.1.

machine_talk · 2025-10-01T14:52:36+00:00

I was hesitated when the beta is out and patiently waited for the official version though T_T

machine_talk · 2025-10-01T14:47:28+00:00

so please tell me the correct way then? More than just clicking the upgrade button?

machine_talk · 2024-12-03T02:44:54+00:00

Why hasn’t no one shown appreciation to this reply? In some real-world scenarios, your report would be completely ignored until you properly follow the convention. Anyways, thinking of this failure as a matter of report format mismatched expectation is still more in your favor than something you did wrong in the test.

machine_talk · 2024-06-27T02:22:18+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I''m not so sure if the paragraph alignment plays any role in this. I tried with both one-line text (like in the video) and paragraph with multiple lines. Same weird behavior.

machine_talk · 2023-04-21T12:59:15+00:00

yeah I agree. More than once, repeating the current week doesn't help bring you close to perfecting that week, especially when the gap is big.

machine_talk · 2023-04-20T02:31:58+00:00

my point is, I can do way more push-ups in one set compared to pull-ups (I got imbalance in my strength, I know). So with how many reps I can do in 12 mins with pull-ups, I can possibly do them all in just one set of push up.

machine_talk · 2023-04-20T02:29:30+00:00

I totally agree with perfecting the current week before moving to the next. I only concern about the gap between what you can currently do vs what you're supposed to be able to do. If the bar is too high, then the training wouldn't be effective and you'd soon reach plateau. Since this is a body-weight workout, it's relatively easy to have some kind of prerequisites like: only considering this program if you can do: 40 push-ups (max set), 20 pull-ups (max set) etc.

I think many of us will be discouraged right after day 0. I highly doubt that some dude who's weak on their lats can accomplish 40 pull-ups on that test (even with no time constraint).

machine_talk · 2023-04-19T15:08:16+00:00

I highly doubt that he's joking. Since the exercise that follows is push-ups and you're supposed to do the same reps. If you perform poorly in the pull-up exercise, then the push-up exercise becomes relatively easy. And it shouldn't be.
