I think this is a big change by Apple. ?It's very, very poorly?
documented and introduced by Apple. ?Anyone getting a new Mac with a T2?
chip needs to be able to figure this stuff out without a month of?
effort and a trip to an from and Apple store with a giant 40 pound?
(18.4 kg) computer. ??Yes. ?The handles were convenient!
If it¡¯s too much effort, you can send me that paperweight. I¡¯ll even pay the postage!
?
Seriously, I know how frustrating this must be, especially leveraged against the size of your investment!
While Apple IS producing what seem to be qualitatively superior products now compared with their missteps of the past few years, their documentation of how they do and don¡¯t work is frustratingly poor (as is the knowledge of the people who are deployed to support them, either by phone or on site).
Witness the way in which the boot volume is actually TWO volumes but cloaked as one. Why is that preferable to just making it clear that there¡¯s a read-only system volume and a separate volume containing user accounts, productivity apps, and user-changeable settings.
Witness the way in which NO ONE at Apple has been able to tell me why I must reboot in order to join unencrypted WiFi networks
Witness the way in which NO ONE at Apple can tell me why, when my brand new laptop wakes up, it sometimes cannot find its own trackpad and keyboard (fortunately, this is only an occasional occurrence and just delays my using the machine for only a minute or two before, somehow, the system realizes it¡¯s looking for input sources embedded in the box rather then reached by BlueTooth connections!
