    So everyone’s explanation was wrong? It isn’t macOS or Avid that screwed up? It was Google? Another case of running off at the mouth before finding out what really happened, much like all the Apple-gates that are conjured up by tech blogs. I thought this forum was populated by seasoned hardware and software development experts.
    To be fair I did post last evening that it was not Avid's issue but instead a Google Keystone bug (post 16). 
    Yes, I saw your post. I am referring to the screeds above yours. It was all Avid or iLok or macOS. Avid was denounced as a piece of garbage. Funny, then I wonder why the big studios use it. And then came the tittering about how this was intentional by Apple to force the upgrade to the new Mac Pro. Mostly sarcasm I suspect but that planned obsolescence claim is cast at Apple all the time now by losers.

    Don't know, but I've found over my career(s) in multiple industries, that the software typically used by the big players isn't used because it is the best, or even that good at all. It's usually used for compatibility, or some set of features that they've gotten hooked on, but wouldn't make it good to copy their choice if you didn't need to.

    I don't install anything on my Mac Pro from Google.
