Feels snappier ;)
I was waiting to start using my new mac mini until Apple could go longer than 2 weeks without issuing OS fixes. There hasn’t been an OS older than 2 weeks in over a month with 3 fixes, but 16 days is a new record. But maybe I undercounted the updates. If apple customers are now beta testers, what does that make beta testers?
