Rebooting & Touch Bar Crashes after Ventura update Hey Everyone, After updating to Ventura, my Mac Pro 2019 occasionally restarts after a suspected problem while on sleep mode and the touch bar disappears. I keep sending the crash report to Apple so hopefully on the next update they can fix the issue. For the moment what works is that I have to keep reseting the SMC but it's such a pain, and it keeps rebooting every so often

Keyboard not working on MacBook Air (M2) 2022 My Air is only a few weeks old and all of a sudden the keyboard stopped working. An external keyboard works (USB-C connection and bluetooth), but the internal keyboard is non-responsive except for the power button. I ran diagnostics and everything reports back okay. I went through the Apple suggestions - slow keys isn't checked, the correct keyboard input is selected, etc. Software is up today. Is the quality really suffered that much? First, my two year old MacBook Pro dies ((display went out and it was $$$ to fix it despite it being a clear displaygate problem -- all of the textbook symptoms were met) ) and now a few weeks old M2 Air is not working? Any suggestions on fixes other than trying to find an open slot in the Genius Bar? Disappointing to say the least. Thanks in advance.
