 It is so ridiculous to have to restart my computer to update my overpriced monitor. Just insanity. 
 @e2d8748d that Pro Display is totally worth it though, all 32”. 🤤 :macos_old: 
 @e2d8748d And here we thought Samsung would come along and make a dumb 5K monitor for half the cost, but NOOOOO, they had to add their own stupid crap to it and charge just as much. Assholes, the lot of them. 
 @e2d8748d At least i didn't have to reboot for the windows clock app update that was forced on me today when i wanted to see what date next friday falls on 
 @e2d8748d 
rebooting, oh well... at least you didn't gave unplug and replug like some past updates 
 @e2d8748d Mine got bricked during the update yesterday. 😭 
 @e2d8748d correction: it’s ridiculous you have to update your monitor 
 @e2d8748d One wonders if you’re possibly underselling the myriad benefits of restarting your computer, from time to time. 
 @e2d8748d Pray you don't get an update error. One of my Studio Displays got stuck in Recovery mode and I spent a while unplugging power/thunderbolt and switching machines until I finally got it working again. I was close to going to the Apple Store for service. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213074?cid=mc-ols-mac-article_ht213074-macos_ui-02082022
