Just today I tried to look for how to switch to using the discrete GPU on my 2019 Intel MBP, but I couldn’t find a setting for it. Is it gone?

Re: Ventura Issues
#32Most of these frankly seem like small beer and to be expected in an early release of an OS. I also am not sure how a Git Tower issue is a Ventura problem. That said, I'm still running Monterey, having amended my practice of waiting until the after the first point release to now waiting until the 2nd to do a full version update because of Apple's tendency in recent years to introduce major bugs which are not compensat…

This is not a beta OS. It’s been out for months. Having things randomly freeze because you decided to connect an external drive is not really OK.

Presumably it used to work, which means AppKit broke something.

#33One of mine: sometimes (50% of the times?) turning on my MacBook Pro for the first time leads to the Dock using very high CPU and making switching between desktops abnormally slow. The fix is to force-kill the Dock app, and make it restart again by itself.
Have you looked into what it is doing during that time?

#34Ventura also broke DNS-over-TLS support and reliable blocking of domains using /etc/hosts. Some browsers are no longer able to use either on Ventura while other browsers do.

#35Something else that's odd is it will sometimes mix up icons in the force quit menu. But this was around prior to ventura
At the same time, there's so much stuff going on in macos that there's a very wide surface area for random things like this. I wonder how many people work on it, if I had to guess it would be in the hundreds

#37Apple is badly, badly in need of a “code red” style freeze on new features for macOS and iOS. Even very basic things which should be rock solid are not. I just had a kernel panic when copying files to an smb mount. No issue when I do the same copy mounted as nfs. Ridiculous in this era.
It still amazes me that in the 21st century no computer can use a couple of extra monitors reliably without sometimes not detecting them, getting in the wrong resolution, or other strange issues.

Messages gives me a spinning ball every time I try to search. It’s maddening!

You can still do it, but it’s not exposed in the UI anymore.

Don't know what happened with iOS 16, but Spotlight has been painfully slow. Results used to be nearly instant, now it can take 6+ seconds to show an app I searched for
