Is it just me or does the battery life on the new Pros kind of suck?

Upgraded to Ventura last night Stage Manager is just baffling to me. Not sure how it improves upon anything.

Apple Music is really playing up for me. It keeps forgetting I have an active subscription and I get the ‘join now’ message. It remembers when I sign out and sign in again - but then it takes ages to update the iCloud music library.

Other minor niggle: my iPhone 12 seems to have a problem that I last had with an earlier iPhone (6 or 7), in that putting it in my pocket without touching any of the controls seems to turn the volume right down. I think I remember sorting that previously, but can’t be bothered enough to fix it right now.
― Luna Schlosser, Sunday, 20 November 2022 09:51 (one year ago) link
that happens to me sometimes, and i assume i’m hitting some kind of muting shortcut? no idea

Update: pleased to say that the Apple Music problem was resolved via chat support to fix a few settings. Chat support worked much better than I was expecting.

My phone is getting old and has served me well. I did have to get a battery case but at least that lasts a long time even though the phone is now a bit chunky

I'm officially not imagining it: my M1 Mac is slower during the day than at night. As in, noticeable lag while typing during the day.
― what have I done to deserve you (lukas), Friday, 10 February 2023 17:54 (one year ago) link
maybe you type faster during the day and your computer just can't handle your flyin fingers

2020: These M1 Macs are so astonishing fast you can open 30 applications at once and it still doesn't slow down!2023: Why do I have to wait for it to register me typing a character in TextEdit?

FWIW, it's been pure honeymoon up until this started happening a few days ago. (No, I can't think of something I've installed in the last few days that would have caused this. Time for an elimination diet I guess.)

Usually when my 2019 iMac is running really slow, I discover there's a Time Machine backup in progress. I realized yesterday I had these running every hour (on a machine I probably use 15 minutes a day), smdh. Maybe now with Time Machine running once a day I'll be able to open a new Finder window in less than a minute.
Cleaning out the garage recently, I had occasion to start up a 2004 iMac. It was depressing how much faster it booted and how much snappier the Finder was than my newer machine.
― Brad C., Friday, 10 February 2023 19:06 (one year ago) link
My bet would be Time Machine, Dropbox or Backblaze.

Update: it wasn't a day/night thing, it was my Bluetooth keyboard from Apple which I only use during the day. "sudo pkill bluetoothd" and then restarting fixed it. I hate Apple.

xp yeah that is at the root of my trepidation about buying ANY new mac right now. i just KNOW that they're going to keep making OSX shittier and shittier, with more and more focus on (at best) useless fluff and (at worst) tons of weird network shit constantly running in the background
on a related note, i have a very large collection of roleplaying-related PDFs that live in the network drive of a time capsule, and i recently figured out that books keeps crapping the bed because the time capsule isn't up to the security standards of icloud (when i try to pull PDFs off my network drive and into books, icloud says no). the reason they're on the network drive is that they're being shared via SLSK, which is running on a 2012 macbook pro w/ mojave, so that might be a factor too. very cool of apple to constantly be deciding that their old products are shitty and their new products are too good to be interoperable with their old products. i mean if they cared so much about security i'd suggest they make a spam filter for icloud email server that isn't completely useless
summary: i hate apple

ikr, every time i get home and get on my mac it’s like “ahhhh, i feel like i’m in a tastefully appointed post-industrial loft, doing creative work in front of an exposed brick wall” … just kidding, not really

My main gripe is having to sync twice with my phone…once to transfer my “dislike” playlist to my Mac. Then I delete my disliked tracks on my Mac. Then I sync agin to remove them from my phone. This is probably because I refuse to join Apple Music (it deleted stuff the last time I tried ). Anyway I’d love the ability to delete a track on my phone and have that decision translate to my Mac.
― calstars, Saturday, 11 February 2023 19:30 (one year ago) link
Speaking of, oh my GOD I cannot believe smart playlists no longer update on iPhone. Fucking iPods had no problem with this.
