Love this idea. Why can’t we do ambitious infrastructure?

What’s makes this worse is problems with WiFi on MacBooks. Apple seems to have nailed it in iPhones - why has there been problems with MacBook WiFi for so long. Maybe we need the N1 chip.
A MacBook with a gigabit or faster Ethernet port and WiFi 7 (presumably via N1) would probably be an almost instant buy for me.
Having gone down something of a rabbit hole about Apple silicon Mac compatibility (incompatibility) with some USB Ethernet adapters, I can’t help wishing MacBooks still had built in Ethernet ports.
The promise of USB C being one port that does everything just doesn’t seem to be true. I don’t want to have to hunt down drivers and then battle through Apple’s security stuff to just connect a network cable at full speed.
Interestingly M1 Pro MacBook Pro works fine. MacBook Air (M3 and M4) don’t
Wow today’s phone transfer has been exceptionally difficult. Every step of the way things went wrong. Ultimately left with lots of things still signed out or in a bad state.
Instagram was the worst. Initially looked like the account had been hacked - request for password reset seemed to notify some unknown email address.
Monzo now requires a video selfie to authorise using the app on a new device. Couldn’t get home from the store without Apple Pay. Very unfortuante.
Anyone else noticed Xcode regularly crashing when writing a closure call? Eg, writing () after the symbol.
It doesn’t happen every time, but it happens fairly regularly and across different projects.
