This used to happen to me regularly with a Dell panel. It would turn anything white pink. I found creating a custom colour profile and playing around with it until the whites were white again solved it. Then occasionally it would decide to revert to the default colour profile for no reason.
Stupidly frustrating but I’m passing on the tip incase it helps.
As someone using android/windows in private life and MacOS for work, I can confirm. As long as its Apple, it works. But as soon as you use any third party software or hardware, its completly bugged.
I cannot even agree to that. Like I get that the settings takes minutes to reload after a reboot. And I need to get in there because it always resets my mouse speed to the slowest possible. But I cannot change it because there are no settings for the mouse directly after a fresh boot! It is so absurd.
Using a mac daily for work, no it doesn’t. Some built in software features keep fucking up, external device or not. Like the “pause music” button, which stopped working entirely on my mac no matter if you press it on the builtin or external keyboard, the multi desktop which keep fucking up and putting apps on top of other apps that are fullscreen, making them barely usable…
We agree on the external device part though, it can decide to stop working with stuff you used for months for no good reason
I still think my 2012 Macbook Pro with the Highres screen was peak Apple. It’s been downhill ever since, but the current releases of macOS and iOS are a an extra special kind of crap.
The worst part: it’s still miles ahead of Windows.
Is it though? I have 2 different USB adapters that work perfectly out of the box for my Windows, Ubuntu and Android devices, but my 2016 mac pro just kernel panicked every time I used either one of them.
And very recently I got my M1 to shit the bed by having a HDMI display connected to the HDMI port.
Apple: just works.
My ass.
Yup. Yesterday my mac turned my external display pink. The monitor was connected directly to the HDMI socket on the M1.
Tell me a more iconic duo than external devices and a panicking mac.

What I meant by “turned pink” is that the display showed only bright pink color and the mac display had a single corrupted line of pixels on it.
Oh ouch. Haven’t experienced that.
Courage. Magic. We think you gonna love it.

All this on an M2 pro that came out a year ago

Windows tends to work with ever you throw at it though. Plug it in and somehow it will find a way to work.
