Apple today released macOS Sonoma 14.3.1, a minor update to the macOS Sonoma operating system that came out last September. macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 comes a few weeks after the release of macOS Sonoma 14.3.
The macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 update can be downloaded for free on all eligible Macs using the Software Update section of System Settings.
Today's update addresses a frustrating macOS Sonoma bug that could cause text to get randomly replaced while typing. There have been multiple complaints about the issue, which affected web pages and apps like Mail and Messages.
The problem has persisted for several months, and has been an issue through multiple versions of Sonoma.

Actually, when the download starts it turns into 1.47GB. That's a lot.
I don't even use Apple Music.
Most d*mning are examples by more than one person who updated a Mac that was working perfectly fine with an external enclosure BEFORE Big Sur who then upgraded to Big Sur or newer and crashed into this problem. Since they needed reliable storage more than they needed the updated macOS, some then downgraded back to macOS before Big Sur and the enclosure was fine again. To me, that thoroughly rules out all of the typical "not Apple" variables except macOS because all variables remained the same after the upgrade and then after the downgrade.
I keep hoping Apple will get around to debugging the ports but it's been YEARS now. I miss "just works" Apple.
