Tiny text. Pale fonts on pale backgrounds. Jonny Ive really should be limited to designing boxes. He is good at that.
Lets see if this update returns my 2010 Macbook Pro, into the work horse it was before Yosemite made it slower than my old ZX81?!?!?
This update is meant to resolve wifi issues and yet it CAUSED them on my iMac. I had no wifi problems at all until I installed it yesterday :(
Nope… 10.10.2 didn’t fix all problems… maybe Wi-Fi doesn’t connect now but the performance is still far from N… on 10.9.5 upload/download 10Mb/s on 10.10.2 1-5Mb/s on Retina MacBook Pro, 15-inch, Mid 2014. As Wi-Fi access point I’m using Cisco 1142.
Seems to have fixed the weird intermittent low display resolution on the second monitor (that required a restart to fix) that our 2011 Mac Mini was experiencing. It is still ridiculously slow to load the Dock though and whilst initial system responsiveness seems to be improved, it soon slows down again after a few hours use/users logging in and out. Whilst it’s not exactly a fair comparison it is embarrassingly slow compared with the latest Windows 10 Technical Preview running on very similar (but slightly older!) hardware.
