Apple has pushed out Beta 8 of macOS ‘Big Sur’ recently (link) – I still very much have the release date being at the same time as iOS/iPadOS/etc 14.2 being released along with Xcode 12.2 since that version of Xcode will include an updated SDK which supports all those platforms.

Ever since upgrading to 10.15.6 I’ve been having bugginess regarding Continuity or more specifically when answering my iPhone on my iMac and MacBook Pro. The call will ring and then when I click on ‘answer’ nothing comes through on my computer. In the end I signed out on all of my Macs, iPhone and Apple…

Apple has pushed out the public beta of macOS 11.0 which includes a variety of new features (features not found in previous builds) as well as correcting known bugs from previous builds (link). My impression so far is that it is in a better position than it was last time and I think that has…
