    Thanks Brandon - enjoy your content. Watched a couple days ago, but now that i have updated and watching back to make tweaks i wanted to point something out or at least for me. The widgets are nice and helpful. I did find though that some that i added from my phone just tells me to open my phone if i click on them. Obviously if this is how they work then it beomes less useful to have them on the desktop, but not sure if i am missing something? Thanks again

    Absolutely fantastic video. I’ve watched a few other videos on Sonoma and I was thinking there were about 8 new features. Admittedly some of these are relatively minor but they can make a huge difference. For example mouse acceleration I was using a paid app to control this called Steermouse. I may not need this app now.

    I am on Ventura due to needing to keep some apps working, but appearance-wise Catalina was the last OS X version I liked. I usually turn off transparency stuff and keep my desktop as a solid color. I never use stage manager or widgets. Ventura also made it much harder to set up my menu bar like I want with Bartender and iStats Menu.
