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.

      There is no benefit for upgrading from Sequoia to Golden Gate. UI isn't better looking or faster. Siri AI is not great. More bugs, not less.

        Siri AI is pretty darn good for me. What are your problems with it?

          Man, on my iPhone (15 Pro), it's been a letdown.

          "Please play this song on my HomePod". "Now playing"

          Prolonged silence.

          "Nothing is playing?"

          "Now playing" (but on my iPhone, not my HomePod)

          I should be writing these down, because pretty much every interaction ends in disappointment.

          Feels like it's just as mediocre as old Siri, only more ambitious when it fails, and slower.
