Bricking my iPad Mini during a software update does not inspire confidence. I eventually got it to reset to factory settings and restore from a backup (by rebooting my Mac and swapping cables and changing ports and force-rebooting the iPad several times), but that only worked because I’m absolutely paranoid about running a manual backup before any of your QAless updates, and it still took most of a day and lost data and login credentials from a lot of apps (iOS backups ignore a whole lot of app data).
What really annoys me is that the same port/cable/Mac combination was successfully able to back up and sync two iPhones and an iPad right before the upgrade failed.
Naturally, reloading from the backup somehow reset all my iCloud and sharing options to Maximum Nonsense and set up Apple Pay on one of my credit cards.
Old Apple: “how can we make this feature usable by people who don’t know anything about computers?”
New Apple: “how can we monetize this pixel?”
Good news: my new range hood has arrived at the contractor.
Bad news: they'll install it two weeks from now.
Meanwhile, the landscapers are coming by every non-rainy day and making progress.
