My first experience after updating my work MacBook today was my external monitor breaking 🙃 I spent quite a bit of time trying to diagnose this before finding out it’s a semi-known bug if coming from a dock. Thankfully I use a Pro so I have one last USB port to spare to make up for this annoying bug.
Pretty annoying going from working to not after an update. I thought it was permissions or something else at first.
But I updated my personal MacBook yesterday and haven’t noticed a ton of differences. I like the more shiny, 3D look to the window icons and more glass customization. I like having more glass and it’ll be nice for others who don’t want it to tone down the glass look. The icons are different but I can’t put my finger what changed. They just seem a bit darker like shaded.
I hate the new Macintosh HD icon. What is it supposed to be? It used to actually resemble a hard drive. I’m probably alone because I doubt many others have this on their desktop like I do.
They changed it to look like an SSD.
