From what I understand, 14.4 was also a HUGE security release for active exploits in the wild. It might have been better overall to deal with temporary broken usb functionality than risk a severe vulnerability remaining on their network.
Seperate security from major updates maybe?
What moron decided to bundle both of those updates together?
14.4 wasn't that major of an update, it was mostly the security updates.
Why did it break so many things then?
Because of the security update part of things.
From the article:
The USB hub issue may be related to the USB security prompts that Apple introduced in macOS 13 Ventura
It also seems to have fixed a major memory leak bug for me, though I’ve only used it for a week or so now. Thank god.
My company paused the rollout once all these bugs started appearing. They pushed it live before knowing how the GM was being received at scale.
