AHH thank you!!

> My pet opinion is that Steve Jobs was an asshole but an asshole that used his own products and used his powers of complaining to steer the whole ship to fix major "this annoys me everyday" bugs.

I think you are right. He was not perfect and not always nice, but man that dude CARED. Nobody at Apple cares any more.

> Are apple engineers not using macOS?

If they are, they aren't using anything but very basic parts of it.

But I think the better question is "Are Apple Executives not using MacOS?" because if they were, none of these mad bugs would still be here.

I experienced the exact same issue. Now that I know, I know what to do.

OH this explains why randomly my iMac would REFUSE to do any connections to anything. I never put together that it was because of uptime!

Agreed. I hate the notch. I run "Just Say No to Notch" from the App Store to avoid the problem entirely.

They basically did.

I one time had an actual answer for a question that nobody else had answered in 5 years... but because I didn't have enough ridiculous "reputation" I couldn't post it, so everyone else couldn't actually be helped. That's when I was done with SO.

This is frankly impossible. By default, anyone with an account can post an answer to a question (https://stackoverflow.com/help/privileges/create-posts).

Question protection sets a barrier at 10 reputation, which you can get from a single upvote on an existing answer, or from five approved edits to existing questions or answers. Further, it would only be applied to questions that had already been answered repeatedly, specifically because the question was attracting redundant answers that weren't adding any more value.

Agreed and sadly I'm not surprised. There are a lot of bad managers out there. But there are a good amount of good ones too.

That's great. I wish there were more of us but I'm glad we still are out there doing the best for our people.
