Yesterday my MBP kernel panicked because my keyboard was low on battery and the bluetooth connection kept dropping. There's something weird with MacOS where peripherals seem to really not be well isolated from the core OS runtime.

Oh peripherals on newer Macs are somehow very hit or miss. I have a very difficult time with external monitors, especially from sleep. My MBP 16" would just loop between initializing and failing to initialize, until I unplug, wait, and re-plug again. Or I have to press the `Extend` option instead of the `Mirror` option that I use. The older 2015 MBP would just connect fine.
