Does it do it in other browsers? If it’s also doing it in Spotify desktop, could potentially be your mouse.

There is a power-saving setting in Chrome that affects scroll. idk if related

Memory saver is disabled and energy saver only enabled if battery below or at 20%. Safari does work fine.

My advice to retain your sanity: stop using Time Machine and use Carbon Copy Cloner [0] instead. It works. It keeps working. It has excellent documentation for any possible backup and restore cases. It is transparent about what it is doing.

Time Machine works fine until it doesn't. And it won't tell you that a backup is broken until you try to restore from it. The errors are going to be cryptic. There is going to be no support and the forums are not going to help. The broken backup is not going to be able to be repaired. Time Machine uses the "fuck you user" approach of not providing any information about what it does, or doesn't, or intends to do or whatever.

If your data is worth backing up, don't use Time Machine.

> Time Machine works fine until it doesn’t

I have been backing up to Time Machine for years without issues. Recently I started using pnpm (Nodejs package manager) and the backup process hangs on Mui material icons files (@mui/icons-material). Using "sudo fs_usage -f filesys backupd" I see that it is looping over the same files over and over.

Why doesn't he destroy the pipelines going through Ukraine then?
telcy · 3 years ago
Because then it would be clear who did it. A sabotage in the baltic sea makes it more difficult to find the culprit and probably causes [intentional] blame of countries that might benefit from shut pipelines.

Using the Mail app (macOS) with a Gmail Account and pressing the refresh button, makes the app hang in "Checking for Mail..." for 20-30+ seconds. It is faster quitting and opening the Mail app to check for new mails.

There is a memory leak down the network stack (probably within security library/ TLS layer) that has been reported over 6 months ago but has yet to be fixed. Depending on the app's network usage this is leading to several GBs of leaked memory per day.

NSURL and its kin are notoriously leaky. I've found a couple of leaks myself.

The best you can do is write the most concise example in an officially-supported language and file a Feedback.

It took about a year and a half or sofor both of my NSURL (one was pretty severe) leaks to be fixed, but this was years ago. Good luck.

Thanks, I have already filled a feedback for it and hope that someone will take some serious look into it.

I recently did vacation at the North Sea (land side, not the islands). It was heartbreaking. In many areas the iPhone showed "No Service", in most areas we had "Edge" connection with virtually no data throughput. Even when it showed "3G" I was mostly unable to use WhatsApp. And this is a region where people live!

And let's not talk about the landline broadband.... our rented appartment had a meager 1MBit download speed and 10MBit upload (yes, the reverse from what you would expect).

On the Autobahn, on many, many kilometers we had Edge only.

Compare that to my last travel to Iran: we had very fast LTE almost everywhere especially in the middle of the desert (it was heavily censored, but the infrastructure was working).

Even very close to big cities like Frankfurt, having an uninterrupted phone call is a difficult thing to have.

I grow up in Germany and can completely agree with you. The landline network is crappy in many areas and the mobile network is one of the worst I have seen (traveled to many countries). My parents recently got a 16MBit connection installed. Currently I am living in Thailand and their mobile network coverage is amazing. Even on an island or in the jungle you get LTE.
