Tangentially related...The December release of MacOS has totally hosed my WiFi connectivity. It stop soon working 2 to 4 tiimes our hour now after being solid since I bought this machine about 3 or 4 years ago.

The irony is that I bought my current MacBook Pro because the last one (ca 2008) ha don’t such horrible WiFi problems that it was unusable.

Now my new machine is as bad as the one it replaced.

I’m not alone, either. Google “Mac High Sierra WiFi” and you will find this is widespread. The proposed fixes are the exact same ones that were suggested four years ago and didn’t work then. Apple is really incompetent at WiFi implementation.

Downloading on my iPad and iPhone 7 right now. Hope all goes well.

I installed iOS 11.2.2 on my iPad Air and iPhone last night. No problems so far (crossing fingers).

How much slower is this going to make my 6 Plus?

Downloaded last night....my iMac is powered thru a UPS battery backup, and iMac controls the UPS configuration thru a USB connection. During the upload, the install triggered a shutdown of my UPS and thus a shutdown of my iMac in the middle of the install!!!!! In essence, it committed suicide via of the UPS and needless to say, it messed up the install bigly...ech.
I use Carbon Copy Cloner every midnight (except weekends) to do a back up of the machine. I ended up doing a re-boot up off the backup drive using last Friday’s CCC’ backup, then restored my machine’s HD to the Friday’s image. Once that was done, I shut back down, plugged into a regular wall outlet and re-installed the security patch successfully.

Just update my iMac and a bunch of the icons in the launchpad are now a piece of paper with a ruler, pencil and a paint brush. Stupid updates.
