    This may provide me with a clue about my MacBook Pro with M3 Pro: since updating from macOS 18.0.1 to 18.1, it may not start properly after lifting the lid. The screen may stay black or resemble two bright moons behind thick clouds (the avatar and password field?). It may take up to five restarts (finger on Power button) until a bright logo and progress bar appear, preceding the proper screen. - Note that I can connect a second screen via HDMI and see that properly. However, I haven't yet discovered how to adjust that monitor screen to show the menu bar of the computer, so I can't use the trackpad to choose Restart.
    Bro, macOS 18 isn't expected until 2027. Where did you get that build?  B)

    "I would bet that rebooting after a reasonable inactivity period probably doesn't inconvenience anyone, but does make your phone a lot more secure," Green added. "So it seems like a pretty good idea."

    What I don't like about these "pretty good ideas" is that I have no voice in the matter. Someone far away has decided they can think for me and deduce that I want this restriction and that it has to be good for me. As youth of a few years back would aggressively respond, I say "You don't know me! " It's beyond arrogant. It would be like deciding nobody really needs the last two key on a piano, so we'll just disabke them. Most of the people can continue to play just fine, so we will make this the standard for everyone with our remote piano key disable feature.



    Jobs once said (paraphrased) .... " ... our customers don't know what they want until we've shown them." Which is actually a take on Henry Ford's quote ..... "If I asked people what they wanted, they would have say faster horses".

    Speaking of "keyboard", Steve Ballmer (former CEO of Microsoft) infamously said that the iPhone will never appeal to businesses because it did not have a physical keyboard.

    Why do I get this feeling that if Apple asked you what you wanted in an iPhone and then built it that way, the iPhone would not only have a physical keyboard but also a user replaceable battery.  :)
