Thanks Brandon - enjoy your content. Watched a couple days ago, but now that i have updated and watching back to make tweaks i wanted to point something out or at least for me. The widgets are nice and helpful. I did find though that some that i added from my phone just tells me to open my phone if i click on them. Obviously if this is how they work then it beomes less useful to have them on the desktop, but not sure if i am missing something? Thanks again

Absolutely fantastic video. I’ve watched a few other videos on Sonoma and I was thinking there were about 8 new features. Admittedly some of these are relatively minor but they can make a huge difference. For example mouse acceleration I was using a paid app to control this called Steermouse. I may not need this app now.

I am on Ventura due to needing to keep some apps working, but appearance-wise Catalina was the last OS X version I liked. I usually turn off transparency stuff and keep my desktop as a solid color. I never use stage manager or widgets. Ventura also made it much harder to set up my menu bar like I want with Bartender and iStats Menu.

If we get another big release in 2026, I think it's safe to say we get a major new release at least every 3 years. Windows is going back to major new releases every 3 years as well.
@thiagofraga1280 8 ай бұрын
@@techwithtyler20 Apple is doing fine last years: precise refinements in a system that has become more beautiful and performatic. On the contrary, Microsoft can't improve Windows, because it's a very general system that can hardly work in favor of performance, but rather in favor of portability and market dominance
@thiagofraga1280 8 ай бұрын

You've convinced me that perhaps I can set this up again. Also, I've always had a Hot Corner for Show Desktop. The new option to click the desktop has taken some getting used to but is a welcome feature for me, and frees up a Hot Corner!
