So, Apple has the most available cash resource of any company out there (or at least close to). Yet, bugs galore, and strange product decisions. The obvious conclusion is that their management is failing to staff accordingly to the work that needs to be done. This could be because they are not aware that work needs to be done, which means engineers are not telling them, or that the management is not succeeding in hir…

It means money is not everything. Yet for some reason people seem to think the most expensive stuff is the safest, nicest and the best one. Like they are buying trust or what..

Not surprised by these bugs any more. The sheer amount of bugs in High Sierra is ridiculous, with the exception of the root password bug, I've personally experienced the following bugs with my Thunderbolt display: * In 10.13 or 10.13.1 the built-in web camera was broken. The video would freeze after a few seconds when attempting to use the camera in FaceTime. This was fixed in 10.13.2. * In 10.13.2 USB audio devices…

For me it is impossible to update macOS too. App Store is not working. Downloading fix from website tells that my fusion drive is not compatible with this kind of install. Use App Store. I don't even have a fusion drive.

Why you are still using it then? Operating systems are very complicated beasts, none is perfect but I like Linux the most. There are issues too but I feel like I have more control over it.. Sometimes work reasons force people into Mac/Windows though... :(

It is sad. Linux could be better if more people used it. Currently its use for desktop is relatively low. People tend to trust companies more so all they can do now is complain and email company's support department.

My iMac seems to get a 169 IP on wake-up about once a week No problems with my Debian or Win 7 boxes which are presumably on the same switch

That's a link-local IPv4 address, typically means that it hasn't got a lease from your DHCP server.

Normally messing with the cable gets it to pick up a proper address.

Strange that other two machines aren't effected if the DHCP server is to blame

> but I disagree on the touchbar. It’s one of the better things Apple has added recently. Strongly disagree, and I can not conceive of how it could be viewed as "better" than hardware keys. Maybe if they moved it above the FN row and we regained the hardware escape key, while making it a build to order option. Even then, I personally would have no interest in it, and neither would anyone else I know. I do not want to…

The TouchBar is absolutely an improvement. I can't remember the last time I actually used a laptop keyboard's F-keys for anything, but the TouchBar makes that space useful.

You never use the ESCAPE key? Apple roped that into the fn keys and removed it

My touch bar computer still has an Esc key. It's part of the touchscreen now instead of a physical button, but it still works the same way and I've never had any problem hitting it without looking.
