I've had 2 macs over the past ~10 years.

* My MacMini was constantly beachballing and, unfortunately, it took me a long time to realize that there was a problem with the device.

* I now have a 2023 MBP that screams like a "Formula Un" racing car.

I suspect you have a faulty device.

edit: Just saw that you live far away from an Apple store. I imagine you could mail it in for some type of service, but obviously, that's not optimal if you have no immediate replacement.

this reads like someone who hasn't seen dementia up close. I don't see his behavior as much different than term 1. simply more malevolent.

there's no obvious word searching. he's always been simplistic and unencumbered by the need for logical consistency. he was never a word smith. he has his stock phrases (eg, "many people are saying...<insert lie>"), which he uses as a crutch, but also to great effect.

as someone who HAS seen dementia from a to z, I don't see it here.

my youngest son visited a handful of "fancy" schools near the end of highschool and he thought the whole process was nuts.

he said something like "seems like we're all expected to make a decision based on how nice the weather was when we visited and the architecture... and I don't care about either one."
