· 4 pulledBased on some comments on my Mastodon post, this only works due to a bug in macOS 15.7.3!
The 90 day period isn't supposed to be a rolling date, but 90 days from release date. So it should have no impact…but it does, so I hope Apple doesn't fix the bug.
Although I have to have a machine running macOS Tahoe to support our customers, I personally don't like the look of Liquid Glass, nor do I like some of the functional changes Apple has made in macOS Tahoe.
So I have macOS Tahoe on my laptop, but I'm keeping my desktop Mac on macOS Sequoia for now.
