New macbooks with a notch hide icons underneath of the notch and those icons are completely inaccessible without installing 3rd party software to manage your status bar, or turning off a bunch of other software with visible icons on your bar.

IMO that's a far worse UX than update and shutdown turning the computer back on at the end.

    you can finally set a screen resolution that just stays below the notch! I'm not sure when that became available, but I just used it a couple weeks ago.

      The sad thing about the current state of macOS is that I'd rather install an app to manage the menu bar than upgrade to the liquid glass monstrosity that is macOS Tahoe.

      (I'm also not an early adopter. I only went to Sequoia from Ventura a few months ago.)

OSX is not the paragon of UX, as evidenced by the long list of software I need to install to make it behave in a non-broken fashion.

That said, I don’t think I disagree with your diagnosis. I’m just afraid they’re lifting more bad parts than good.

Sounds like a hard life. So much time spent on buggy, unintuitive, jumbled, and half-assed OS, then the only time they get away from it, they have to use Windows.
