Just some notes on things I think I've observed using Hex (before I moved to mostly using my own mac stt hotkey thing):
- I think, but can't conclusively prove, having Hex running on a current-OS-release updated Mac causes a system crash after 34 days of uptime. from what I can tell, Hex is live polling the system permissions 10 times per second forever. I think there's a Mac kernel counter bug which overflows and crashes after it hits a limit of those checks for some reason.
- Having Hex just loaded continuously, I had my Mac crash, like hard crash, freeze, clocks 100% stop, nothing works, have to hard power cycle it twice, exactly 34 days apart. the only weird thing I see is Hex doing 10 system permission checks per second continuously just driving up system counters until they stop.
- Other weird bug: when running on an older release of macOS (14.8.2) sometimes Hex uses like 8 gigabytes of RAM and then will randomly crash (while on newer mac releases, it uses a reasonable amount of memory).
Anyway, just some notes if these are interesting to anybody else.
