So there are all these numbers floating around about low iOS 26 adoption… I’d love to see ones for macOS 26. That’s the one with incredibly awful word-of-mouth, and in my circles anecdotally *everyone* is in a holding pattern and skipping the update.

@mwichary I will be on macOS 14.7 for the foreseeable forever.

@jwz @mwichary genuine question, what's wrong with sequoia? i have it on one machine and noticed ~no differences from sonoma. tahoe obviously is a different story

@a @mwichary
They made it impossible for an unattended OBS to record the screen without a human clicking on an ARE YOU SURE??? dialog box every <12 hours.

Also an unattended machine with screen locking turned off will nevertheless lock the screen *and unmount all external drives* every <12 hours and there's no way to stop it.

It's for your own good, you see. Won't someone think of the children?

@jwz @mwichary thanks for the answer! that's incredibly annoying.

my machine (headless, always on, used intermittently on vnc, has external drives) is somehow immune to the second issue, but i don't doubt that it's real. now im nervous 😓
