Even I, a committed fanboy, am starting to wonder of what use the developer and public beta programs are. One would think that developers would have the most incentive to test and report issues. As for the public betas I’m betting the percentage of public beta users actually reporting issues is very low. Most of them are just about installing something the public doesn’t have and then bragging about it. They could care less about reporting things. While I’m very glad to get updates I’m less happy about the frequency these days. Supplemental updates, to me, mean important bugs that can’t wait for the point update. That concerns me... a little.

Bloody hell is DED trying to break the world record on longest article? Catalina really doesn’t add enough for what’s taken away for me, namely 32 bit application support. Seems a bit ridiculous to eliminated 32 bit support entirely. 32 bit apps can be sandboxed for security and 32 bit libraries can stay linked but unloaded until they’re required, so the extra RAM usage and security is a non-issue. 

Christ, they’ve deprecated and announced the planned end of life for 32-bit apps years ago, and yet people are still gonna get butthurt and whine about it when it finally happens. 

No man, it’s not ridiculous. It streamlines the OS, the future processors, and is the direction the future is moving. Move past the denial stage and accept it. 

Let the migration to other platforms begin.  Am in the process of moving a lot of solutions that ran brilliantly on Apple kit to Linux as it is no longer viable for macOS. 

Awesome. Guess that means we won’t have the constant butthurt to look forward to in the near future? Have fun playing the drivers game on Linux, the bastion of easy computing...lol

It still keeps nagging to update Apple ID. 

Also Touch ID is erratic but now at least it recognizes the fingerprint about  70 percent of the time. 

For you personally maybe, not the majority of users. 

Yeah, I am sure they made a personal nag for me. – What a dumb reply you posted!

Was cleared by deleting the apple id in question and add it back, but that should not be required. More attention to core system integrity and functionality, and less attention to anatomically correct emojis would be a good place to start. 

Then why haven’t the rest of us had to do what you had to? Why is that an individual assumes every glitch they experience must be a bug that is affecting everyone else. I guess it’s because if you alone are experiencing it then it points to something else not related to the update. That no one else had to delete their Apple ID and re-enter it should be telling you that your personal experience was a fluke glitch and not some bug in the update. But no, you came to say it was the update itself that caused this and it’s all Apple’s fault.
