| - Who broke Search in Tahoe? Why is search broken? If I search my Mac in the Downloads folder for "42001" I cannot find a document called "ISO_IEC_42001". Why is ''ls | grep 42001'' instantaneous but finding one file in Finder using the default search literally impossible now? You're telling me that in the year of our lord 2026 both Windows 11 and macOS Tahoe are incapable of having search that does not suck? [[https://www.voidtools.com/downloads/|Voidtools Everything]] on Windows is the best search engine I have ever used on a Desktop. There is absolutely no excuse for not having search that returns all results instantly. This is 2026. | - Who broke Search in Tahoe? Why is search broken?

| - APFS, the default filesystem, does not care about data integrity. WHY? It's 2026. Come on. Why is metadata integrity a feature but data integrity itself not a feature? Fix this. Computation is cheap. | - APFS, the default filesystem, does not care about data integrity. WHY? It's 2026. Come on. Why is metadata integrity a feature but data integrity itself not a feature?

| - I don't want to use Apple Intelligence, but it doesn't matter because I can't. Why can't Siri language be set to one language and have macOS work with a different language? We know that large language models are actually great at multiple languages. Why is Siri language synchronized across devices? If I have an iOS or macOS system running different languages Siri/Apple Intelligence will always be broken on one of them because this setting, for some absurd reason, synchronizes. But this whole limitation is stupid. | - I don't want to use Apple Intelligence, but it doesn't matter because I can't.

| - If I start doing something absurd like "try to type my login password" on the login screen when the screen is still black, macOS clearly accepts the input because it wakes up but drops it from the password field. WHY? Just put it in the field. This used to be fine but is now broken in macOS and Windows. SDDM gets it.
