I love this idea, and agree the bugs are important and embarrassing, but find the “it should only take Apple 320 hours to fix Mail search” to be so insulting that it ruins it for me.

#352When I switch between macOS users frequently, in 2-3 days I get pink garbage on the screen and/or the windows start literally falling apart and macOS at some point hangs with a rotating wheel. On a 128GB RAM M3 Max. This persisted across multiple macOS versions and two logic boards.

#353Spotlight has really been bothering me lately, for months now, and it’s not even indexing all the time. I disabled all but applications and the calculator, because that’s all I use Spotlight for, and it still can’t find some apps that are in /Applications. Sometimes it’s some apps, sometimes it’s everything, and after rebooting it’ll sometimes reindex. No idea what’s going on, but today might be the day I install Quicksilver, if that’s still a thing.
I also had to type over reindex 3 times to get it to stick :)

Can't find it. I can see the keyboard layout per language but not actual languages. One layout is enough for all of my languages.
You need to enable more keyboards in System Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Keyboards
I see now. But .. bottom line is, I don't want any auto correct. It'll force to capitalize and all kinds of stuff. And if you type in a language's dialect, you're basically stuck.

https://hey.paris/posts/appleid/ > The card was purchased from a major brick-and-mortar retailer (Australians, think Woolworths scale; Americans, think Walmart scale)
>was already redeemed in some way This is the important quote showing that the gift card was not legitimate.
What matters is that the purchaser had every reason to think that it was legitimate and they were not the malefactor in this scenario, but they still got banned.

#356Trying 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…
Android isn't any better, every new version every year, it's becoming a buggier and buggier Tamagotchi that demands attention every half an hour, and has a gazillion contradictory settings that never work. My phone, model 2023, has night mode that turns on automatically. You can turn it off for 30 minutes, or permanently. There are clocks that work independently. I wanted a better one, because this one would reset al…
My pet peeve on Android (and also on iOS) with alarms is that alarms aren't clocks! They are totally separated concepts and bundling them all together makes no sense.

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.
That really sucks, but they absolutely do tell you to back up all your data before sending your machine in for service. Involuntary hard drive replacements aside, your package could get lost or damaged in the mail.
Kinda difficult to do when the Mac does not turn on. Actually a technician came over to attempt to fix it, then just took it with him to ship it to Apple.

do you think that makes it ok? they walked into a store, tried to pay money to apple and as a result they had their stuff locked forever apple recommended they only buy gift cards from apple, but they still sell them in stores... obviously money is more important to them than the consumers but pretending apple have zero responsibility is silly
>they had their stuff locked forever It was locked for less than a week. >but they still sell them in stores Unfortunately there are sketchy resellers that exist too.
Your comment reminds me of this news story of a guy trapped in his work's elevator for the weekend. How was he supposed to know it'll be only for the weekend.

Yeah, some of the estimates to fix are ridiculous. 40 hours to fix auto-correct?? On how many devices?
Yes, they acknowledged the numbers are completely made up. But, even with a 100x or more increase in those estimates the point would still stand. Why undermine the argument with such wildly silly (and, as you say, insulting) estimates?

Most (all?) Spotlight replacements depend on the same underlying index and system services that Spotlight provides and uses. High chance Quicksilver is just making 'mdfind' calls like everything else, especially since it doesn't look maintained anymore.
