The thing I hate most about #macOS is how simple problems which should have simple solutions on any other operating system almost ALWAYS have no solution at all. The #Apple Forum's super helpful too, can always count on them to give you the "welp, you should've not had that problem in the first place - too bad <3".
In this case, the context is: you cannot copy over your #TimeMachine backups from a drive to another - which seems like a very fucking logical thing to do for when your backup is growing or your drive is aging. The solution provided by everyone is to just "start a new backup on the new drive" or "you should've used a bigger drive 3 years ago". These fucking bitches.
@irfan Yep 😐 I have a problem right now where every time I connect my bluetooth headphones, Apple Music autostarts and demands I set it up. There appears to be no way to disable this, and all the hacks/workarounds I've tried seem to only work on older OS versions (or don't work for me). It drives me crazy.
"welp, you should've not had that problem in the first place - too bad <3".
My other favorite is 'This isn't a problem for me, how could it possibly be a problem for you? I just don't understand how anyone could differ from me. Have you tried walking a mile in my clownshoes?'
@NullNowhere that sounds like a nightmare, and I absolutely could relate to everything you’ve said - ESPECIALLY how the “workarounds” always (at least supposedly) work on older versions. I’ve encountered too many times when “oh I’m literally just 1 macOS version later than a version that would’ve worked fine or been able to fix this issue I’m having”. It almost feels like every update is meant to make ur device worse and less reliable. Heck, even this Time Machine problem I’m having too was a non-issue prior to Big Sur (Catalina or Mojave). This has always been my experience using macOS for years and it’s certainly have taught me to be so reluctant to push the update button.
