I love how Liquid Glass looks. I hate how terribly engineered it is, by either a) unqualified engineers, or b) AI slop.
I don’t know the reason but ever since my upgrade, my laptop is asking me to recover the OS and I’ve done it multiple times. It keeps crashing. It keeps switching on and off. 5 mins after switching on, it turns off again. Sometimes within a few seconds. I don’t know what’s happening. Battery is at 86% and is normal. I upgraded to the latest macOS as well. No more software updates shown. This is ridiculous and I don’t know what’s happening to the laptop, and I have so much work to get done. Any suggestions?
Hello, this bug has been in macOS since 26.4, and I've tested it on various computers, including my work MacBook, my personal one, and even the MacBooks at the Costco display station. The issue is if you click on the menu bar now playing icon and click on the preview of what is playing, it opens a Quick Look Simulator on your menu bar. This happens on some third-party applications but all websites that have playing media, such as youtube.com. It doesn't happen in Apple's built-in applications like Music. To be crystal clear it used to focus the app and tab in Safari that was playing the media if you click on the Preview.
I have been reporting this bug to apple on every minor update.
Can anyone confirm if they see the bug?

I know you can run windows natively on Intel Mac with bootcamp but what is the current state running windows natively on m series Mac’s?
I've gone from a MacBook Pro 2013 --> MacBook Pro 2015 --> M1 MacBook Air --> MacBook Pro M3 pro. feels a lot nicer than my m1! glad to be back.

Tahoe 26.5 Just updated this morning problem was there before the latest update.
PROBLEMS:
Microsoft Outlook - Blue Frame appears around the List of messages and I can't use the down arrow key to mark messages as read, have to use the mouse. I press tab and the Blue Frame moves to different sections in Outlook and then disappears.
WhatsApp - Green Frame Appears around the Sidebar Icons, when trying to type a message to any recipient, I can type words, but NOT Space between words. I close WhatsApp and reopen then I can continue typing the message.
Word Documents - I highlight some text below a grpahic or a table, Press Command-C to Copy the text, the cursor jumps up to the start of the graphic.
Not sure if it is a graphics driver, keyboard or Accessibility setting I screwed up.

I know there's an older post about this exact issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/10nc2po/this_drives_me_crazy_when_an_app_is_assigned_to/
I am still seeing the same problem on the latest Tahoe 26.5, and I also found this Apple Discussions thread that talks about it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255238280?sortBy=rank
I wanted to repost this because the original discussion is old, and I am wondering whether anyone has found a fix or workaround since then.
I also want to say up front that I absolutely need Finder to stay assigned to "All Desktops" for my workflow, so please do not suggest disabling that setting just to avoid the bug. That is not a workable option for me, even if the issue persists.
Has anyone managed to fix this, found a reliable workaround, or at least confirmed whether this is still a macOS bug in Tahoe 26.5 (on my side it is)?
A friend of mine just got her first MacBook yesterday and asked me to set it up for her. I must say that I am impressed with this machine. Her machine is a MacBook Neo 8GB Ram and 256GB storage. I was very impressed with the performance of the machine. I think it is a great idea to use these iPhone/iPad chips which appear to deliver very acceptable performance in a Mac environment. I would consider buying one of these for myself.
I just upgraded my 2019 intel MacBook Pro with an M5 mbp and I can’t wait to put it to use. I began setting it up today. I started by creating a log in in the new machine with my name and info but didn’t start the migration right away. I wasn’t sure at first if I wanted to use migration assistant or do a clean install. I decided to use MA for everything but my apps. Before the migration, I signed in with my Apple ID and it started populating my cloud info into my apps, like messages and email. However a lot of the info was missing.
Anyway, I ended up beginning the migration and strangely, for some reason my Apple ID profile got my avatar photo replaced with a panda, and now if I go into my phones reminders, I can’t set my home as a location trigger. When I pulled up my contact card on my phone, the addresses are no longer there.
Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Now I’m concerned that some other data is missing that I don’t know about also.
