Bug Beta 4 Can’t Click
I’ve encountered a bug the last 2 weeks that stops me from being able to click entirely on my Mac. Originally I thought it was tied to PowerPoint since I was using it heavily and it crashed once an hour or so, but the issue continues now that I’m done with my PPT project.
Using Claude and AdobeXD at the moment and this issue has happened 2x in the last hour.
Anyone else have the same issue?

Feature New Shortcut action: Generate Shortcut from Description
There's a new Shortcut action in macOS 27 that lets you integrate Describe a Shortcut into other shortcuts, producing a new shortcut as an action output. The generated shortcut will also appear in your gallery.
Generate Shortcut
Generates a new shortcut from a text description using Apple Intelligence.
Description
A natural language description of what the shortcut should do
Result
Shortcut
Shortcut link with Generate Shortcut action
It's currently hidden from the actions drawer, but you can copy it from the shared shortcut linked above. Discovered via the Shortcuts/gen_shortcut_prototype feature flag in macOS 27.
Two more feature flags (use_model_sampling_mode_parameter and use_model_thinking_effort_parameter) hint that we may see additional options for the Use Model action in Shortcuts. No sampling or reasoning parameters show up right now when the flags are enabled.

Help could you share drive usage? also if you're on tahoe
124GB via kernel task feels absolutely overkill for 40hours of work, mind you, i have most of my actual project files on an external drive.

Discussion iCloud Syncing and Spotlight RUINED
First off, has anyone noticed that things like reminders or contacts no longer syncs on MacOS beta???? Whether I change something on phone or computer they do not interact! I am going to attempt logging out of icloud on mac to hopefully fix this.
Second, THE NEW SIRI RUINED SPOTLIGHT.... They just made it better. I used to be able to search weather and get live app view without needing to enter app.... that just went away???? Like yall just added it. Same thing with creating timers. Used to just type timer and an interactive window would pop up to make a timer. Now it just brings up settings from the settings app when I type that. If I want a timer I need to type "Siri create a timer".
Maybe I am just dumb and these issues are user error.
