Is the eternal delay bringing up the MacOS native colour picker in the list? Click on a colour to change it, wait about 10 seconds, eventually it appears. Every. Single. Time.

#292> Autocorrect Won't Take No For An Answer
Oh god. I don't use an iOS device regularly, so when I encountered this issue I had to control myself not to throw the device. Absolutely horrible experience. Worse part is that it autocorrects when pressing "send", not just when adding a space or a period. So the correct word gets corrected wrong and immediately sent.

#293This is brilliant and about 50% of the top 10 bugs affect me regularly. Some (eg airdrop, mail search, spotlight search) are absolutely maddening. If this even slightly prods Apple into doing something about it, this would be a net win for humanity.
That is indeed maddening. Are you using that computer for professional work? That'd drive me bonkers if I was working on a project and had bugs in the OS bothering me "regularly". I myself drank the cool-aid back in 2012 and think it took me 2-3 years before I realized "Apple is the best at UX and stability" is so far away from reality it starts being funny, and finally migrated to a stable environment that works the same as when I began using it.

#294Clicking on folders that you have put in Finders sidebar - It will not display the folder with the view settings set for that folder, but instead the last folder you clicked in the sidebar. It seems to happen clicking from top to bottom vs bottom to top. You just cant make this sh*t up it's so bad. Example sidebar: Applications - Always shows as icons Documents - Shows as icons if you last clicked on Applications. Sh…
I really wish Apple would allow us to swap out the Finder with something else, so files open in that other app instead of the Finder. This works reasonable well on Windows, where I "replaced" the Explorer with Directory Opus.
This used to be possible, I remember that I replaced Finder with some other app many years ago. I strongly assume that this doesn't work any more, though.

#295Earlier quoted context omitted.
> Apple finally publicly and huffily declared that they weren't going to fix the problem they created by letting people consolidate accounts. They somewhat changed that. It now is possible to move purchases between accounts. See https://support.apple.com/en-us/117294 . Looks quite cumbersome to do, and will not apply to everybody (“If an Apple Account is only used for making purchases, those purchases can be migrated…
Interesting. But WTF is a "primary" Apple account? My original Apple ID isn't an E-mail address, so they forced me (and others in that situation) to create another one for iCloud because that one inexplicably has to be an E-mail address. I use both for quite a few things. Which one is "primary?"
That text is badly written. They define that after mentioning it:
“At the time of migration, the Apple Account signed in for use with iCloud and most features on your iPhone or iPad will be referred to as the primary Apple Account.
At the time of migration, the Apple Account signed in just for use with Media & Purchases will be referred to as the secondary Apple Account.”
⇒ apparently you can be signed into multiple accounts at the same time ¿but I guess with only one account per feature?
But as I said, that page is badly written. So, maybe I’m understanding it wrong.

I've owned iOS devices since around 2010 I think, and one of the first things I do when setting them up is disable autocorrect and most other typing assistances. For this reason! Also when typing in 2 or 3 languages, it is completely useless.

iOS 18 really fucked up the multiple languages setup. It used to automatically detect secondary languages when I had the English keyboard, but still prefer English. Now you have to create keyboard combos and can't reuse languages (can't "prefer Spanish but also support English" and viceversa)

#298They really should start using better models for autocorrect and autocomplete. My autocomplete is total bs
Re: Bugs Apple loves
#299I bought the latest Intel MacBook Air and after few months they released M1 MacBook Air. Then they release an update, I did as I should, and it broke my laptop! I lost all my data! They fixed it for me in a couple of weeks without providing me a substitute! And they were arrogant enough to behave like they did a favor to not charge me for the repair! It was 2020! My MacBook Air never became like before, and it died a…
Speaking of data loss, it's fucked up that Apple doesn't give a shit about your data.
Ages ago I shipped my iMac to them and it came back with a new HD. Hello? Maybe include the old drive so I can attempt to recover the data? I lost a year's worth of photos and a bunch of personal documents. This is when I started doing backups.

#300Trying to type this comment on an iPhone and that very last issue, text selection, is so so real. It’s probably the single biggest thing I hate about this phone that makes me consider switching back to Android (I was on Android for 12 years before trying out an iPhone for 3 years atm, and in general, on average, I can’t tell the difference… they both have strengths and flaws. Text selection is a pretty massive flaw o…
you can enable cursor control by holding space, and then you can move to selection mode by touching anywhere else on the keyboard.
Doesn't work for me like it used to since update 26.1. Its now extremely hard to get that to work.
