macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess

    I have been avoiding new macOS versions since I tried Tahoe and hated it. Still on Sequoia.

    I don't know if I'll ever upgrade to Golden Gate, and this blog post isn't giving me confidence.

      I bought a MBA in 2022 and haven't ever upgraded the OS. It works fine for me, and the AI stuff seemed like it wasn't ready for prime time. While it might have provided some benefits, I was concerned that there would be more unexpected downsides.

      I'd be curious to know what people think about Siri AI and whether it's finally worthwhile. I'm still running an old iPhone with no AI, so don't have much basis for comparison.

        I hope you have been installing security updates for the OS version you have. At some point, those end, and then you're looking at a different trade-off in not upgrading.

          Yeah, I install point updates, just not the annual ones. AFAICT, I'm still getting the security patches that I need.
