And then you have to research on how to disable all the phone home crap, the ads and other bloat. Anything Bluetooth on Windows is still a hit-and-miss.
#Is etrecheck safe drivers
Took over a day worth of downloading Windows updates, battling Realtek's audio driver and Intel's chipset drivers until everything was finally working as expected (and most of the drivers are from 2016 - only God knows how much exploit surface these have!). Had to re-install a friend's Asus all-in-one PC last weekend and god this was not fun.

The problem is the essential duopoly - Android and iOS - rock and a hard place.Īt least their issues are relatively benign compared to the hot mess that is Windows. Now as an Apple fan - but why would you not want those SMS to sync to mac as well? Yes, even if you delete them! What's the use of multiple message selection on mac Messages app - that's bad use case! Yes, yes, even though it is supported on iPhone - you don't get it! And there apps are opaque in the guise of "simplicity" you just end up getting frustrated.

The SMS sync between phone and mac and in fact difference of basic UX options ("you can't select multiple messages on Catalina Messages app - not sure if it is added in later versions - if you delete an SMS on phone it will still be synced to your mac Messages). This is frustratingly weird and quite niche to Apple's user-fans.įor instance Apple's online services - the whole iCloud charade is a living and growing mess. People are just too eager to jump on behalf on Apple - "but why you would rather not do this instead" ( Why? Because I was looking for something else and I mentioned it for heaven's sake!) and these hacks and workarounds stack up while "Apple products and services just work" stays where it was in such Apple users' imaginations.

This sentiment is seen in almost every response on, on Apple's subreddits and often in HN comments as well. Do Apple execs just not use AirPods? Are they using a different configuration or hardware combination that doesn’t have these bugs? Have they just trained themselves to overlook the bugs because the workarounds have become a reflex? I can’t imagine working at any tech company where one of the flagship products had such a high rate of annoyances without having a lot of engineers diverted to replicating, diagnosing, and fixing it ASAP. Other bugs languish for what feels like forever. Certain bugs get rapidly patched in the next iOS or Mac software release.

Yet now we’re years into the AirPods experience and they continue to be just as quirky as when I first got them.Īpple seems so hot or cold on fixing their own bugs. At first I assumed that they were growing pains of an early product launch. The strangest part is that the annoyances aren’t getting any better over time. The annoyances are annoying when they happen, though. They are occasionally quirky, but most of the time they really do “just work” for me.
