One host expresses reluctance to update their production Macs to the latest macOS version, citing the critical nature of their work. In contrast, they admit to having updated their iPhone to the iOS 17 beta, despite the potential risks associated with using a primary device in beta.
“It takes a lot for me to upgrade my Macs. They're both production machines.”
“I should upgrade the MacBook Nia which I bought for no reason. I will do that. I just literally do not ever use that computer. I own it for no reason. It's cute. That's what it is. It's a Tamagotchi that I have.”
“So the Macs are hard for me. Especially this Mac. The podcast Mac, we just updated that one. I did update the phone, which logically makes no sense because the phone is the thing you take everywhere with you in case of emergency.”
