Haven't seen much talk about this, but the changes to Spotlight coming in Ventura look very nice, will probably convince me to get rid of Alfred.

Speaking about this. They've place spotlight at the bottom of the iOS home screen where the home screen indicators reside. Hopefully this means the app library takes the place of the swipe down gesture. Having to scroll all the way to the end of the home screen pages to access it is just bad design.

If Unreal Engine 5 supports Metal, does that mean it would be easy to port UE5 games over to MacOS? Which other roadblocks do developers face doing so?

So it seems with Platform SSO there might legitimately be hope for IdP based logins.

This is the stuff people don't see when it appears to be "so few new features" during the Keynote.

A mate of mine tried installing the macOS Ventura developer beta but it konked out and he ended up doing a factory reset to get back to Monterey and spending hours reinstalling all his apps.

So I don't particularly recommend rushing in.

Installing beta versions of software carries its risks. The first and last beta version of an OS I installed on my Mac was the Developer Preview of OS X Mavericks.

I installed it on Parallels for exactly that reason. It is still really buggy and I can't get GPU acceleration working on (it runs in safe mode).

I'm also running the Xcode Beta and damn, is that buggy as well. Get the SwiftUI crashing on the most basic things.
