Not much good QC or software design out of Apple, yet.The reason the tier 1 guys have you reset the PRAM and go through what seems like retard steps is because if they dont, their tier 2 ("senior advisors") wont even take a second look at your case.
This includes pram/smc reset, safe mode, new user, reinstallation of osx (both with and withour erasing the hard drive).
Some of them are genuine assholes who dont know how to turn on a computer, the rest are just covering their asses since nothing burns them more then having to talk to tier 2 twice (they get graded on this) because they didnt make you jump through hoops.
Definitely agree QC has taken a nose dive as of late, hoping ios 9 breaks this pattern, and the same goes for the next version of OS X. The sentiment is definitely shared internally.
This isn't release.DDaammnn,, tthhaatt''ss aa ppaaiinn..
No, really. Who doesn't check that shit before release? GG.
Honestly updating all of your apps and everything should be step one before you do any real work on a computer so it seems like a non-issue.No, really. Who doesn't check that shit before release? GG.
Okay, I'll see your semantics, and raise you: Was the build released to public beta? Yessir, it was. Whoever was working on that app and didn't check such an obvious QA issue has a serious priority issue or five.This isn't release.
No he is right. Even for a public beta you would still have QA run basic smoketests and automation run it's own regression suites. The team responsible for the Mail and Calendar app should have caught something this obvious unless every resource has been pulled to do something else.Its almost like they released a bets to check these bugs!
SHOCKING!
