Released yesterday…did you pay your ISP? :p
Just some clean up as we were so earnings-focused yesterday we didn’t post these. For anyone else who missed the updates, here ya go!
Touché!
TouchéD by the angels at MDN 🙂
now to wait a couple weeks to see what people report that it breaks before I will install. Apple QA process seems to keep getting more and more dependent on users after release use than testing before release.
Mail seems to be fixed finally (hopefully), see https://www.macrumors.com/2020/01/24/apple-seeds-macos-catalina-10-15-3-beta-3/
And Photos, and Music…?
Also updates to HomePod and AppleTV.
No go here on 16″ Macbook Pro. Update either gets stuck in a reboot loop or sits on the bootup progress bar for hours. Software update or combo update. Both do exactly the same thing.
Another fine example of Apple’s current quality control or lack thereof. I can’t remember the last time “It just worked”
