It _used_ to just work. Now each release is full of features no one asked for, and there are more and more issues because of this feature bloat.

My M1 MacBook Pro is probably the second worst computer I've ever bought, and might have been the most expensive I've ever purchased.

I'd be happy to trade you something you consider better.

I bought an Air (M1) at the same time and felt like the air was the better value. For one, the fact that you can't hit a button to volume up/down, but instead have to activate the Touchbar, click the sound icon, try to move the volume left or right to desired location is too many steps, not precise and a pain.

I bought another Air this year (M2), and again, it's a far better value.
