Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming macOS Sierra 10.12.3 update to developers, just one day after releasing macOS Sierra 10.12.2 and almost three months after launching the macOS Sierra operating system.

In May, Apple agreed to pay $250 million to settle a U.S. class action lawsuit over Siri AI's delayed launch, and eligible iPhone users could receive up to a $95 payout.
This week, the California court overseeing the case held a hearing regarding preliminary approval of the settlement, but the judge has not yet issued a ruling. It will likely be at least a few more months before eligible...
Don't they already measure disk space in units of 1000 instead of 1024 to show a 1TB drive as 1TB?
O/T: nope, it's official 1000 gigabytes (GB) = 1 terabyte (TB) but 1024 gibibyte (GiB) = 1 tibibyte (TiB) (unless you adhere to the JDEC standards but every time you use "giga-" to refer to a multiple of 1024 a pedant has an anxiety attack).

Maybe Apple should consider introducing the new unit of time "ihour" - 30% shorter than the standard "hour" - for its battery life estimates?
Expecting to see the removal of "used space" indicators in the Finder. Apple knows that If the Finder doesn't tell us that we only have 1 gig of space left, then we'll never run out of room.
